Abstract:
A helmet is provided that comprises a contoured external surface; a controller positioned on the contoured external surface; one or more channels embedded within the contoured external surface and defining two or more elongate pathways travelling over at least a portion of the contoured external surface; at least one electroluminescent (EL) wire located within and extending along at least a portion of the one or more channels, the EL wire being further selectively electrically connected to the controller; and a plurality of pairs of retaining elements periodically positioned adjacent the one or more channels. Each retaining element within each pair is located on an opposing side of the one or more channels, and an opening defined between a portion of each of the plurality of pairs of retaining elements has a dimension less than a diameter of the EL wire. Associated method and computer program product are also provided.

Claim (Index 20):
A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising at least one executable portion configured for selectively altering at least one characteristic of at least one electroluminescent (EL) wire attached to a helmet based upon an input received from the wearer of the helmet, wherein the helmet comprises:\n a contoured external surface; a controller positioned on the contoured external surface; one or more channels embedded within the contoured external surface and defining two or more elongate pathways travelling over at least a portion of the contoured external surface; and a plurality of pairs of retaining elements periodically positioned adjacent the one or more channels, wherein the at least one EL wire is positioned within and extends along at least a portion of the one or more channels, and is retained within the one or more channels, at least in part, via the plurality of pairs of retaining elements.
