Abstract: A shoe (606) degradation sensor (1012, 608) assembly includes a first sensor (1002) disposed in or proximate to a material layer of a shoe (606) between a foot space and an outer surface of the shoe (606). The material layer changes in at least one physical property with degradation to the shoe (606), and the first sensor (1002) is configured to indicate the changing physical property of the material layer thereby indicating a degree of degradation to the shoe (606).

Abstract: The present invention is a process for converting a multilayer film to a plurality of nano-ribbons. The process includes co-extruding a first film and a second film to form the multilayer film, slitting the multilayer film to form a plurality of multilayer ribbons, and separating the multilayer ribbons to form a plurality of nano-ribbons having substantially flat cross-sections.

Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor information generated by a sensor embedded in an article of apparel. The method includes determining, based at least in part on the sensor information, a thermal comfort score indicative of a probability that a user of the article of apparel will be comfortable at a future time. The method also includes determining, based on the thermal comfort score, whether the user of the article of apparel is likely to be comfortable at the future time. The method further includes responsive to determining that the user of the article of apparel is not likely to be comfortable at the future time, performing an operation.

Abstract: A shoe degradation sensor assembly includes a first sensor disposed in or proximate to a material layer of a shoe between a foot space and an outer surface of the shoe, and an electrical contact assembly operable to removably electrically connect the shoe degradation sensor assembly to a reader. The material layer changes in at least one physical property with degradation to the shoe, and the first sensor is configured to indicate the changing physical property of the material layer thereby indicating a degree of degradation to the shoe.

Abstract: A system and method of detecting changes in an environment of an open circuit resonator configured to generate a signal when wirelessly powered by an external oscillating magnetic field, wherein the signal varies as a function of one or more environmental factors associated with the environment about the open circuit resonator. A monitoring device receives the signal from the open circuit resonator, captures data representative of the signal, compares the captured data to data previously received from the sensor to determine changes in the data, and estimates, based on the changes in the data, changes in one or more of the environmental factors.
