    Abstract: A wearable sensor system is disclosed that provides a measurable magnetic field that changes horizontally within the range of motion of human limbs. The wearable sensor system includes a magnetic sensing device, and one or more magnet devices that provide the measurable magnetic field with a strength exceeding the Earth's magnetic field. To this end, the magnetic sensing system provides a “personal” magnetic field about a user, with that magnetic field traveling with the user and overpowering adjacent interfering fields. The wearable sensor system may include a sensor arrangement that measures a strength of the personal magnetic field and field direction to perform horizontal localization, and may send a representation of a same to a remote computing device to cause an action to occur. Some such actions include output of pre-recorded or synthesized musical notes, for example.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for determining a personalized gas level exposure are generally described herein. A method may include receiving, at a wearable device, a plurality of gas level measurements for a gas level, determining, using the plurality of gas level measurements, a five-minute average gas level, in response to determining that the five-minute average gas level exceeds an instantaneous exposure threshold, issuing a dangerous exposure alert at the wearable device, determining, from the plurality of gas level measurements, a rate of change for the gas level, and in response to determining that the rate of change indicates the gas level is decreasing, disabling the dangerous exposure alert.

    Abstract: Wearable assistive jamming apparatus and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a frame to be worn about a body part of a user and a jamming actuator carried by the frame. The example apparatus includes an electrode to deliver electricity from an electrical source communicatively coupled to the electrode to a muscle of the user. In the example apparatus, the jamming actuator is to transition from a flexible state to a substantially rigid state in coordination with the delivery of the electricity to the electrode to support the body part.
