A low drag garment is made from a fabric having a textured region with a texture height H, wherein the texture height H increases substantially continuously with the surface angle θ in said textured region. Optionally, the substantially continuous increase in texture height H comprises a plurality of incremental increases in texture height, and wherein each incremental increase in texture height is less than 200 μm.

A method for providing a padding relates to using 3D printing by depositing a filament according to a microarchitecture that entails the definition of superimposed matrices that are adapted to define a structure composed of individual open cells, which are mutually connected and arranged mutually opposite and side by side.

A wearable airfoil garment for reducing the cyclist aerodynamic drag. A garment material is elastically tethered between two or more anchor locations on the garment. The anchor locations are positioned and arranged to form transient, self-adaptive, body-conforming airfoil surfaces on the garment. The self-adjustment of the airfoil surfaces preserves the cyclist's comfort as well as the aerodynamic efficiency. The airfoil surfaces change in a body-conforming manner in response to the movements of a person wearing the garment. The aerodynamic performance of the garment is adjustable to the preference of the wearer. Garment airfoils constructed with seams suitably placed to trigger transition of boundary layers.

A wearable electronic fabric comprises a woven fabric formed from a plurality of interlaced threads. The plurality of interlaced threads comprise a plurality of warp threads interlaced with a plurality of weft threads. The woven fabric has a top face and a bottom face. A plurality of conductive threads is included among the plurality of interlaced threads at predetermined intervals and interlacing angles to provide a pattern of connection locations. The connection locations are located at regular intervals on at least one of the top face and the bottom face of the woven fabric.

A system provides ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning. The system exchanges ranging signals at a first rate between a UWB beacon and a UWB tag. The system then determines movement or location information of the UWB tag; and select, based on the movement or location information, a second rate for exchanging subsequent ranging signals between the UWB beacon and the UWB tag. The system then exchanges the subsequent ranging signals at the second rate between the UWB beacon and the UWB tag.

A cycling suit (1) has a top part (2) and a trousers portion (3) comprising leg portions (4, 5) made of a first material such as Lycra; an end section (6) of each leg portion (4, 5) of the trousers portion (3) is made of a second material such as Neoprene, which acts as a water-barrier and stops water from penetrating into shoes and overshoes under intense rain.
