Device Deterring Movement of a Detainee
20240085155 · 2024-03-14 ·

A device for deterring movement of a detainee adapted to dispense pulsed electric current to a human's epidermis and dermis. The pulsed electric current can interfere temporarily with muscular locomotion of the detainee. Embodiments of the device for deterring movement of a detainee include, but are limited to bands, gloves and vests.

Flame resistant thermal liners and garments made with same

Embodiments of the present invention replace relatively bulky nonwoven thermal insulating materials used in thermal liners with thin, lightweight, flexible films that maintain or improve TPP performance while reducing the thickness, and enhancing the flexibility, of the thermal liner so as to increase wearer comfort. Moreover, the films incorporated into the thermal liners can be both air and vapor permeable such that the TPP performance is not realized at the expense of THL performance. Rather, the THL performance of garments incorporating embodiments of thermal liners contemplated herein is comparable toif not improved overgarments formed with traditional thermal liners.

The present disclosure is directed to a garment comprising an attaching mechanism for removing and/or replacing several accessories.

Support garment

Aspects herein provide for a support garment having a vibration damping structure that is positioned between the breast contacting surfaces of the support garment. The vibration damping structure has a shape and/or material characteristics that enable it to substantially fill the space defined by a medial aspect of the wearer's breasts and the wearer's sternum. This positioning and placement facilitate the damping structure's ability to absorb and dissipate impact forces generated at least through the medial-to-lateral movement of the wearer's breasts during, for example, athletic activities.

BIOMIMETIC, NANOFIBER-BASED AND DIRECTIONAL MOISTURE-WICKING ELECTRONIC SKINS AND FABRICATION METHODS THEREOF
20240260899 · 2024-08-08 ·

A nanofiber-based directional moisture wicking electronic fabric and preparation methods thereof are provided. The electronic fabric includes hydrophobic fibrous layer, hydrophilic fibrous layer, and conductive functional coating layer. In the preparation method of the nanofiber-based electronic fabric, the hydrophobic nanofibers, the conductive coating layer, and the hydrophilic nanofibers are successively constructed by the combination of electrospinning and electrostatic spraying technology. Through the construction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic differences, the all-fibrous electronic fabric of the invention is enabled to transport sweat from the skin surface to hydrophilic nanofibers to maintain good comfort and has the merit of good electricity at the same time. The all-fibrous electronic fabric is easy to be fabricated and has a wide application prospect in the fields of waterproof and moisture permeable clothing and intelligent wearable electronics.

Driver alert safety gloves
10093231 · 2018-10-09 ·

The driver alert safety glove comprises a glove with a battery-operated drowsiness alarm coupled to the back of the glove. The drowsiness alarm comprises a control circuit, a first magnetized contact, a second magnetized contact, and a sound transducer in a housing on the back of the glove. The magnetized contacts are coupled to the material on the back of the glove such that when the driver's hand is attentively gripping the steering wheel the back of the glove is stretched and pulls on the magnetized contacts, causing them to separate. If the drive gets drowsy and relaxes their grip, the magnetic properties of the magnetized contacts draw them together and the contacts complete an electrical circuit. Completion of the electrical circuit causes the control circuit to emit an audible sound via the sound transducer to alert the driver.
