Rip-stop pants include waist and leg portions formed of ripstop fabric having synthetic mechanical-stretch filament yarns interwoven into spun, staple yarns in a ripstop pattern.

Woven polymeric fabrics or materials with antimicrobial additives suitable for example for use in connection with diatomaceous earth pool filters, monofilament pool cartridge filters, and trampoline mats are disclosed. Examples of the woven polymeric fabric of the present invention includes a composition having a polymer and at least one antimicrobial additive. Methods of composing and weaving antimicrobial polymeric materials are also disclosed.

This disclosure generally relates to a hammock strap. The hammock strap includes an elongated length of strap material that is separated into a first strap and a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap.

A bulletproof garment fabric comprises parallel high strength fibers that are placed in layers. The layers are arranged in multiple orientations to resist bullet penetration stress and bonded to each other by precipitated ultrafine particles of nylon. The bonded high strength fibers resist the penetration load of a bullet and are thereby operative to prevent penetration of the bullet through the garment fabric. A porous nylon sheet is injection molded, and combined with strong fibrous materials having high modulus to form a layered sandwich that imparts strength and anti-ballistic properties to jackets, components and armor for vehicles and aircraft used in military applications.

The subject matter presented herein provides an efficacious system and method for diagnosing orthostatic intolerance and for treating orthostatic hypotension. A dynamic compression garment that comprises a servo-controlled splanchnic venous compression with automated binder system is used to regulate blood flow, for instance, during orthostasis. The system includes a programmable controller and a computing device in communication with the controller, an inflator, one or more sensors, and a power supply. The system can collect a user's biometric data, which may be transmitted to the user, a physician in charge of the user, or a third-party. Moreover, the biometric data may be incorporated into a machine learning model that can be used to further program the controller.

Methods for fabricating a 3D braided material and exemplary 3D braided material for sporting implements are disclosed. The exemplary braids can be incorporated into any sporting implements, such as, baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, hockey sticks, rackets, helmets, and other protective equipment. The example sporting implement can be constructed, partially or entirely, with a braided three dimensional structure. The 3D braided material can be a multi-directional layup having tows oriented in three directions (X, Y and Z) and also at any angle created by the combination of two or three directions. A single woven preform can be formed that can have a near net shape of the formed product, with the fibers oriented in a way that will be optimal for the particular application.

The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap.

An adjustable sports rope comprised of a hollow base rope sheath and an adjustment rope. The hollow base rope sheath is a hollow sheath with at least two openings. The adjustment rope enters into the hollow base rope sheath through one of the at least two openings and exits the base rope sheath through another of the at least two openings. The one end of the hollow base rope sheath terminates at a tie point. The end of the adjustment rope disposed furthest from the hollow base rope sheath tie point is also a tie point. By creating a tensile force between the tie point of the hollow base rope sheath and the tie point of the adjustment rope, the hollow base rope sheath will tighten on the adjustment rope, holding the adjustment rope in place.

This disclosure generally relates to a hammock strap. The hammock strap includes an elongated length of strap material that is separated into a first strap and a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap. The first strap and the second strap may be further divided to provide a wider area of strap material.
