The described physiology sensor is worn on a single finger to capture one or more different physiological signals and has a sensor body including first and second raised mounds, protruding from its surface and being longitudinally spaced-apart such as to define a transverse air gap therebetween. The mounds each retain electrodes which abut palmar surfaces of the single finger. The sensor also has one or more physiological sensing devices housed within the body, including a skin conductance sensing device. The sensor can also have at least one of a temperature sensing device, and a photoplethysmography sensing device. A processor is housed within the body and communicates with the electrodes and the sensing devices to apply an electrical excitation thereto, and to process the physiological measurements.

Disclosed in this specification is a golfing glove that is configured to facilitate the proper grip of a golf club handle and a method of using the same. The palmar surface of the glove comprises a first indicator that extends along its width. A second indicator also disposed on the palmar surface. The thumb of the glove has a third indicator. The dorsal surface of the glove has a first elongated indicator aligned with the thumb and a second elongated indicator on the dorsal surface.

The invention relates to a golf pushing bar with a novel grip, which comprises a grip, a bar body, and a bar head. The grip is provided with a finger hole which is used for buckling fingers, a notch, and a supporting part which is used for supporting thumbs. The finger hole is horizontally arranged on the grip. The notch is arranged on the edge of the grip at the two sides of the finger hole. The supporting part is arranged on the left upper corner of the grip. When in use, finger roots are in the same plane with five articulation points which are connected with the centre of a palm, thus ensuring that palmar surfaces of two hands are parallel to the striking surface of the bar head. The angle and the direction which control the two palmar surfaces are equal to the angle and the direction which control the angle and the direction of the striking surface of the bar head, therefore, the control is simpler and easier, furthermore, the surfaces of a supporting plane arranged the two sides of the grip respectively deviate left and right, and the left plane is also provided with a raised line and a recess area, thus greatly reducing the mutual interference between a left hand and a right hand and ensuring that when players hold the grip, the players feel .more comfortable.

The invention discloses a bionic webbed glove, comprising a glove and an elastic web surface, is structurally characterized in that the elastic web surface is stuck on a palmar surface of the glove; wherein an area of the elastic web surface is slightly more than that of the palmar surface; and finger tips of the glove is stretched out of the web surface. While swimming, a swimmer can put on the bionic webbed glove to imitate a swimming way of a duck, bend an arm flexibly and naturally and stroke efficiently and easily, thereby obviously improving the swimming speed. The bionic webbed glove has the advantages of simple structure and easy use, thereby meeting the need of the swimming fans.

Disclosed is an ear thermometer capable of easy and accurate insertion of a probe into a subject's aural cavity. The disclosed ear thermometer is provided with a temperature detection element and an infrared detection element, and by using the ambient temperature detected by said temperature detection element and the relative temperature detected by said infrared detection element, the ear thermometer (100) measures the subject's body temperature. The ear thermometer is provided with: a probe (101) which is configured from a hollow tubular body and inserted into the aural cavity; and mounting units (102, 104) which have mounting features (106-108) for mounting on a finger of the subject and which support the probe so that the support position of the probe (101) opposes the palmar surface of the subject's distal phalanx when mounted on the subject's finger using said mounting features (106-108).
