Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are directed to articles of clothing that allow for monitoring of different analytes (e.g., electrolytes and molecules) in human sweat during fitness activity, while training, or simply in everyday life. The clothing includes a sensor system completely integrated in textile such that every sensing part is made of textile fibers. The clothing is able to control, collect, analyze, and expel the sweat over time. The textile sensor allows a spontaneous absorption of body sweat directly from the skin, while it is produced, using the hydrophilic natural properties of the textile. Then, once adsorbed, the flux of sweat is controlled and guided through the textile using a gradient of the textile's hydrophilic properties. The sweat guided through the textile is analyzed through an electrochemical sensor woven into the textile. Finally, the sweat is collected in a reservoir and expelled for evaporation.

In one or more embodiments, the present invention relates to a resin composition containing at least a polymer (A) and a polymer (B), in which the polymer (A) is a polymer that includes one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile, vinyl halides, and vinylidene halides, the polymer (B) is a polymer that is soluble in benzyl alcohol, and the resin composition contains the polymer (A) in an amount of 70 parts by mass or more and 92.5 parts by mass or less, and the polymer (B) in an amount of 7.5 parts by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less, where a total amount of the polymer (A) and the polymer (B) is 100 parts by mass. Provided are synthetic fibers that are easily dyeable with an acidic dye without requiring use of a special facility or heating to high temperatures.

Underwear or undergarment, particularly for a female wearer. A seamless knitted-yarn tubular blank is produced and is rotated; a front-side partial-cut is introduced, and a rear-side partial-cut is introduced; thereby forming two leg openings and one waist opening. Optionally, an elastic-free lace band is seamlessly glued or bonded or attached to the region that borders the waist opening. The underwear can be manufactured from a single, seamless, tubular knitted-yarn blank, without leaving or removing or discarding any fabric residues.

A patient interface includes a positioning and stabilising structure having headgear comprising a ring strap portion with a superior portion configured to overlay the parietal bones of the patient's head in use and an inferior portion configured to overlay or lie inferior to the occipital bone of the patient's head in use. The ring strap portion defines a loop having a pair of upper strap portions configured to connect between the ring strap portion and a cushion assembly in use on a respective side of the patient's head superior to an otobasion superior. The headgear may comprise a rigidised portion. The headgear may be integrally formed by flat knitting and the strap portions may include blind guides to provide tactile indications of the locations of fastening portions.

A novel fabric combination is provided to absorb electromagnetic radiation (ER) and electromagnetic field (EMF) waves. The fabric combination may be shaped into a wearable garment or an electronics case or cover. The fabric combination includes carbon yarn or carbon pieces, elastic yarn, and a soft yarn, such a wool or cotton. No metals configured to reflect ER and EMF waves are used, such as silver. The elastic yarn is a carbon stretch yarn made up of synthetic elastic fabric, such as spandex, and carbon fibers. The fabric combination absorbs ER and EMF waves from the environment, produced by electric devices, such as phones, laptops, tablet computers, microwaves, ovens, robots, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi radiation, Bluetooth, or any other device or environmental sources emitting ER and EMF.

The invention provides an antimicrobial fiber which exhibits excellent antimicrobial properties even without the addition of antimicrobial agents and can remain antimicrobial even after repeated washing. The antimicrobial fiber comprises a fiber having on a surface thereof a polyacetal copolymer (X) containing oxyalkylene groups, the molar amount of oxyalkylene groups in the polyacetal copolymer (X) being 0.2 to 5 mol % relative to the total of the molar amount of oxymethylene groups and the molar amount of oxyalkylene groups.

A face mask includes a piece of fabric including a main body portion, a first leg extending from first side of the main body portion, and a second leg extending from a second side of the main body portion. A first plurality of slots are arranged along a first side perimeter of the main body portion, and a second plurality of slots are arranged along a second side perimeter of the main body portion. At least one first fold in the piece of fabric extends between the first plurality of slots and at least one second fold extends between the second plurality of slots. The first plurality of slots are aligned and the first leg extends through the first plurality of slots. The second plurality of slots are also aligned and the second leg extends through the second plurality of slots.

The present invention relates to a fine dust mask, and more particularly, to an antibacterial fine dust mask. The fine dust mask according to the present invention comprises: a mask part; a sealing member fixed to the top of the inner surface of the mask part; and a fine dust filter sheet positioned between the inner surface of the mask part and a user's face.

A knit fabric is created using on a flatbed knitting machine to create a whole garment having an inner surface and an outer surface. The knit fabric includes a support matrix comprised of base yarns with reflective yarns supported on the support matrix. The knit fabric comprises a jacquard knit structure formed from the base yarns and the reflective yarns, wherein elongate loops of the reflective yarns are outwardly exposed from the outer surface of the knit fabric. The inner surface of the knit fabric includes outwardly exposed floats of the reflective yarns.

A face mask for protection against infectious agents includes: a filter medium from spun nonwoven, which has multicomponent filaments, which are split at least partially into elementary filaments. In an embodiment, the filter medium includes at least two layers of spun nonwoven. In an embodiment, each layer of spun nonwoven has a basis weight of 10 to 100 g/m.sup.2.
