Articles to manipulate the temperature of body extremities

A wearable article comprising:

• a wearable article body;
• at least one temperature sensor positioned on or in the wearable article body to measure a temperature of a human extremity and configured to transmit a temperature signal indicative of the temperature of the human extremity;
• a plurality of temperature modification devices positioned on or in the wearable article body adjacent to the human extremity, each temperature modification device of the plurality of temperature modification devices being configured to receive a control signal and to provide temperature modification of the human extremity based on the control signal;
• a processor configured to receive the temperature signal, to determine on a basis of the temperature signal whether the human extremity requires heating or cooling, and to control the temperature modification device based at least in part on the temperature signal;
• one of a transceiver, receiver, or transmitter configured for communication with a separate electronic device;
• the separate electronic device being configured to manually control operation of the plurality of temperature modification devices;
• an ambient temperature sensor configured to provide an ambient temperature signal to the processor indicative of an ambient temperature of the wearable article;
• control of the plurality of temperature modification devices being adjusted based on the ambient temperature signal;
• an interior space;
• a plurality of air chambers positioned adjacent to the interior space, some of the plurality of air chambers being connected in a plurality of series, and the plurality of series-connected air chambers being connected in parallel;
• an air pump;
• and
• a plurality of passages extending into and connecting the air pump to each of the plurality of air chambers, each temperature modification device contained in each one of the plurality of air chambers, and the air pump being configured to pump air into the plurality of air chambers containing the plurality of temperature modification devices to move each temperature modification device contained in the each one of the plurality of air chambers of the plurality of temperature modification devices contained within the plurality of air chambers in an inward direction toward the interior space, reducing the volume of the interior space and causing each of the plurality of temperature modification devices contained within the each one of the plurality of air chambers to move into contact with and indented into different portions of the human extremity.
