This paper delves deeply into the innovative realm of integrating human emotions with wearable technology. The primary focus is on the conceptualization and development of a kiss transfer device that harnesses the power of wearable technology to bridge the physical gap in human-human interactions. By investigating the intricate nuances of the human-human kissing process, the research seeks to replicate this intimate gesture through a technological medium. The paper not only elaborates on the anatomy, evolution, and hormonal dynamics of kissing but also underscores the transformative potential of wearable technology in capturing and transmitting these intimate moments. This exploration opens up new horizons for long-distance relationships, offering a tangible touchpoint that goes beyond traditional communication methods. Through this pioneering work, the research positions wearable technology as not just a tool for communication but as an extension of our human emotions and expressions.
Body temperature is often used to screen infectious diseases and monitor treatment. Through the method of measuring the resistance of constant voltage temperature measuring circuit, a wearable multi-point body temperature monitoring system is researched and designed to determine skin surface temperature. The STM32F103C8T6 chip is used as the core processor, and the negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) as the temperature sensing component. ADS1256 chip is a temperature signal conditioner, Bluetooth module is a wireless transmission unit, and LABVIEW is used to design the host computer interface. The constant voltage bridge circuit composed of thermistor and resistor voltage divider to carry out the acquisition of 8 channels of temperature data, and the 24bits ultra-high-precision analog-to-digital conversion module is configured with differential inputs to amplify, filter and convert analog signals; the converted data is processed and calculated in the single-chip microcomputer; finally, the data is transmitted to the host computer via Bluetooth. The thermistor is linearly compensated using the fourth-order formulation of the Stein-hart formula. Reduce the impact of environmental interference and uneven body temperature distribution from software and hardware. The error during the temperature measurement of temperature sensor is analyzed. The experimental results showed that the resolution of measurement system reached 0. 01 , and the temperature measurement accuracy was up to ± 0. 02 . This design scheme has high stability and accuracy; and the circuit is simple in structure, small in size, and low power consumption which can be used in occasions requiring precise body temperature measurement.

Abstract
The inaccuracy of acute altitude sickness screening has brought great challenges to power grid construction workers in high-altitude areas. Human vital signs monitoring technology is an effective technical means to prevent people from developing altitude sickness. This paper proposes a monitoring and evaluation platform for high altitude sickness in power grid operations based on information entropy of the causes of the illness. First, the vital characteristics data of workers are collected through sensors such as blood pressure and blood oxygen. Secondly, the collected data is transmitted back to the platform by using the Internet of Things technology. The information entropy establishes an analysis model of altitude sickness and generates personnel evaluation reports and treatment recommendations. Finally, the application results of the platform verified that the preventive effect of the platform is much higher than that of the pre-existing physical examination method.

Abstract
In order to effectively improve the accuracy of identifying the gait pattern of wearable sensing data, this paper proposes a new model for deep learning gait mode discrimination that integrates convolutional neural network and long short-term memory neural network, which makes full use of the convolutional neural network to obtain the most local spatial characteristics of data and the long short-term memory neural network to obtain the inherent characteristics of the data, and effectively excavates the hidden high-dimensional, nonlinear, time-space gait characteristics of random wearable sensing timing gait data that are closely related to gait pattern changes, to improve the classification performance of gait mode. The effectiveness of the proposed model in this paper is evaluated using the HAR dataset from University of California UCI database. The experiment results showed that the proposed model in this paper can effectively obtain the time-space gait characteristics embedded in the wearable sensor gait data, and the classification accuracy can reach 91.45%, the precision rate 91.54%, and the recall rate 91.53%, and the classification performance is significantly better than that of the traditional machine learning model, which provides a new solution for accurately identifying the gait mode of wearable sensor data.
