An apparatus (1) comprising a garment (2), the garment comprising: at least one muscle activity sensor (4, 34) for detecting activity of a muscle at least partially covered by the garment; at least one electrical visual indicator device (14); and a controller (11) configured to: receive an activity signal indicative of detected activity of the muscle from the at least one muscle activity sensor; and cause the at least one electrical visual indicator device to output a visual indication of the detected activity of the muscle in dependence on the received activity signal.

Disclosed is a moisture-absorbing guard having an outer absorbent layer having a network of interconnected pores, a base adhesive layer, and a moisture-locking interior layer between the outer absorbent layer and the base adhesive layer, the moisture-locking interior layer having an absorbent material. Also disclosed is a method of using a moisture-absorbing guard as described.

A wearable protection device for a neck of a human, the wearable protection device including: an envelope having a compartment and configured to delimit a seat that accommodates the neck, and an inflatable element housed in the compartment of the envelope and configured to have a deflated condition and an inflated condition.

An illuminated safety garment to improve the visibility of a wearer, such as a public service worker, in low-light conditions. The safety garment features an integrated LED light system that is electrically connected to a power source, and that ensure that the wearer is visible to third parties from a 360 degree vantage point. The LED light system may be hardwired or in wireless communication with an individualized or central controller that enables the user to control multiple aspects or features of the LED light system, as well as those of a number of other accessories such as an audible system, locator system, etc. Use of the illuminated safety garment offers a way to prevent serious accidents and injuries due to low visibility of, for example, public service workers.

An article comprising an upper garment with a multi-layer collar configured to extend around a neck region of a subject's body. The multi-layer collar may comprise an inner collar member with a first lower edge and a first upper edge and an outer collar member with a second lower edge and a second upper edge. In some cases, the first lower edge and the second lower edge may be joined together to form a lower edge of the multi-layer collar. In some cases, the first upper edge of the inner collar member may be configured to extend past the second upper edge of the outer collar member.

A wearable object with a negative magnetic device comprises a wearable body, at least one negative magnetic device and a motor piece. The inner side of the wearable body is combined with at least one placed inner bag, and the negative magnetic device is disposed inside the placed inner bag. At least one magnetic element is disposed in the accommodating bag, and the motor piece is in contact with the wearable body or the negative magnetic device. The motor piece is used to vibrate the magnetic element. Therefore, by vibrating the negative magnetic device, the negative magnetic field of the magnetic element can be strengthened to penetrate into the skin and muscles.

Provided in an aspect of the present invention is a transparent laminate (10) including a functional layer (12) and a low-refractive-index layer (13) having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the functional layer (12), wherein the surface (13A) of the low-refractive-index layer (13) is the surface (10A) of the transparent laminate (10), the surface (10A) of the transparent laminate (10) is not fogged as tested in an anti-fogging ability test, and the absolute value Y1 of a difference in the luminous reflectance Y of the surface (10A) of the transparent laminate (10) between before and after the anti-fogging ability test is 0.2% or less.
