This invention comprises wearable computing devices and methods for the wrist and/or forearm including a bifurcating attachment member and/or proximal and distal display members. These wearable devices can provide relatively-large display areas without looking too clunky or being uncomfortable to wear. This invention also comprises methods for conserving energy and for modifying the communication interface between a human and a computer based on data from environmental sensors and/or body sensors.

The present invention includes fabric bands to join protestors together. The present invention includes a first cylindrical band and a second cylindrical band. Each of the first and second cylindrical bands include an upper rim forming an opening leading into an internal portion and a lower rim forming an opening leading into the internal portion. A connector attaches the first cylindrical band and the second cylindrical band together so that the internal portion of the first cylindrical band is substantially parallel with the internal portion of the second cylindrical band.

This invention is a wearable device for an arm with a plurality of close-fitting biometric sensors. These sensors can be spectroscopic sensors which project light onto an arm surface at different angles. Alternatively, these sensors can be electromagnetic energy sensors which measure tissue impedance, resistance, conductivity, or permittivity. These sensors can be on the circumference-center-facing wall of an elastic fluid, gel, or gas filled member. Data from these sensors can be used to measure a person's hydration levels, oxygen levels, glucose levels, or heart rate.

A shirt constructed using two different fabrics to permit a wearer additional stretch and flexibility and to facilitate wicking away or evaporating moisture from the wearer. One fabric is a polyester/spandex blend for formal elements of the shirt, including the placket, cuffs and collar. The other is a polyester 4-way stretch/mesh material having wicking and antibacterial capabilities for the rest of the shirt elements, including the sleeves, which are raglan-constructed.

An article of clothing, such as a dress shirt, blouse, coat, jacket, or vest, includes a sheet of material forming a body portion. First and second plackets are formed along respective first and second end portions of the sheet of material. First and second magnetic elements, each being encased in an encasement, are secured inside first and second pockets, respectively, such that positions of the plurality of second magnetic elements correspond to positions of the plurality of first magnetic elements.

The present application provides a garment that includes: a sleeve, a cuff, a retainer, and a sleeve lining attached at one end thereof at a proximal end of the sleeve, the sleeve lining extendible outward sufficient to cover at least a portion of a wearer's hand and retractable inward at a distal end of the sleeve; the retainer having a first end attached at the distal end of the sleeve to the sleeve and the sleeve lining, wherein the retainer is configured to limit at least the retractable inward movement of the sleeve lining; the cuff is located at the distal end of the sleeve lining and comprises a padding removably coupled to the cuff at a location proximate to the wearer's palm.

A sleeve cuff is provided for a sleeve having an anterior patch affixed to the sleeve and covering at least a portion of a cutout in the sleeve, a distal strap affixed to the sleeve and spanning over at least a portion of a cutout in the sleeve, and the distal strap overlapping at least a portion of the anterior patch to form an aperture for receiving a thumb therethrough. The sleeve cuff has a plurality of configurations, including at least a closed configuration where the aperture is closed and minimizes the wearer's exposure to wind and air elements therethrough, and an opened configuration where the aperture is opened and minimizes the air penetration around the received thumb.
