The present invention is disclosing a performance improvement system comprising a smart athletic flexible accessory and an electronic device communicably coupled with smart athletic flexible accessory. Smart athletic flexible accessory comprises a plurality of fabric sensors configured to measure data associated with a physical activity performed by a user and a first transceiver configured to transmit measured data. Electronic device comprises a second transceiver configured to receive measured data from smart athletic flexible accessory, and a microprocessor. Microprocessor is configured to analyze received data from receiver, generate a recommendation based on analyzed data, and cause a display screen to display generated recommendation.

A capacitive imaging glove includes electrodes implemented throughout the capacitive imaging glove and drive-sense circuits (DSCs) such that a DSC receives a reference signal generates a signal based thereon. The DSC provides the signal to a first electrode via a single line and simultaneously senses it. Note the signal is coupled from the first electrode to the second electrode via a gap therebetween. The DSC generates a digital signal representative of the electrical characteristic of the first electrode. Processing module(s), when enabled, is/are configured to execute operational instructions (e.g., stored in and/or retrieved from memory) to generate the reference signal, process the digital signal to determine the electrical characteristic of the first electrode, and process the electrical characteristic of the first electrode to determine a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode, and generate capacitive image data representative of a shape of the capacitive imaging glove.

Please replace the current Abstract with the below language:

A multi-layer material comprises a textile substrate layer, a functional layer arranged on the textile substrate layer, and a coating covering the functional layer and the textile substrate. The multi-layer material further includes a textile cover layer arranged between the functional layer and the coating. An adhesive layer is arranged between the functional layer and the textile cover layer. The textile substrate is woven or knitted from one yarn and the textile cover layer is woven or knitted from an identical yarn.

A training glove and a method for teaching proper hand, wrist, and finger orientations to efficiently perform a sugaring process for hair removal. A glove assists the technician in maintaining the proper finger positions for the application and removal of a sugar paste. In one example a glove has openings for the thumb and forefinger, and insert guides for bent finger positioning of the little finger, a ring finger, and a middle finger. In other examples, individual finger inserts are provided on the palm side of the fingers. In other examples, a single insert form is provided to position all three fingers—the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger. The finger inserts position the fingers so that the outside tips of the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are properly aligned to apply an appropriate pressure to the skin in a sugaring application.

A single use disposable glove utilizing the cutting and sealing process. The top and bottom panels of the glove are produced from an extrusion process made from a variety of thermoplastic elastomers containing styrenic block copolymer (SBC). The glove made from this process is form fitting, has less than 20% deformation after 100% stretch for 10 second. The suitable SBC materials are selected from the group consisting of SIS, SBS, SEBS, SEPS, SEEPS, and combinations thereof.

Articles and insulating systems include a wicking layer, an incompressible insulation layer, and a water scavenging system comprising a superhydrophobic layer in operative communication with one or more water collecting components.

The subject matter relates generally to devices configured to be attached to fingers and/or the hands of persons and which may aid in the playing of musical instruments. These devices are custom made to fit the fingers of a particular musician or aspiring musician precisely and optionally include an additional feature or element at the tip which beneficially improves the ability to play. These devices also may protect the fingers from the adverse effects of prolonged playing. These devices may be used independently on each finger, or may be combined together into a glove with the finger devices attached to the rest of a custom fitting glove.

The invention moves the wearable device to the area between the thumb and first finger attached or imbedded into the glove to allow immediate access and in just the correct viewing area and angle to allow the user to use without distraction. The options would allow for both a device to be attached like a traditional watch strap or in a specifically designed holder for the specific wearable device. By imbedding the device can allow for contact with the skin therefore enabling sensors to work effectively. This precise location enables gloves for all activities like Biking, Skiing, Workout, CrossFit, Bowling, Golfing, Swimming, Climbing, Baseball, Hockey, Driving, Work Gloves, Etc. to be manufactured with this capability supporting a better way to both use and interact with these wearable devices.

This invention offers a fully protective cowl neck garment with various fasteners designed to attach additional protective gear, such as gloves and shoe coverings. Additionally, a temperature sensor shield is located on the hat and protective mask. This allows the clients or patients the ability to see and to monitor the temperature of their caregivers. The caregiver's temperature is visible on the hat, as well as the face mask. This makes the caregivers accountable to their clients or patients, as well as their colleagues and coworkers. This invention eliminates the worry of contact with infectious diseases or dangerous liquids, by utilizing elastic manual ties and hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure the garment is secured fully on a user's body. Overall, this invention ensures medical professionals, firemen, emergency medical personnel, government workers, and so forth, are protected fully from contagious and infectious diseases, liquids, and so forth.

The present invention generally relates to an incineration-friendly wearable article comprising an elastomeric polymer matrix composed of an inorganic material capable of efficiently able to reduce or eliminate flue gas emissions during incineration of the article, and a method of making the incineration-friendly wearable article containing the elastomeric polymer matrix containing the inorganic material. The inorganic material acts as a catalytic thermal oxidative material.
