Provided is a pleated protective clothing worn by a worker in order to protect a body of a worker from an external environment and maintain a clean work environment, the pleated protective clothing including: a hood portion configured to cover a head of a worker; an upper body portion connected with the hood portion and configured to surround an upper body of the worker; and a hood pleated portion formed in a portion connecting the hood portion and the upper body portion and having elasticity.

A wearable device for at least one of icing, heating and compressing a user's body part is disclosed. The wearable device comprises an inner part and an outer part. The outer part is arranged with the inner part such that the outer part surrounds the inner part. A compartment is defined by the space between the outer part and the inner part and above the first attaching means. A compression force is provided by the second set of elastic properties compressing at least one of the hot element and the cold element against the user's body part thereby eliminating a second attaching means above the first attaching means within the compartment. At least one handle is in attachment with the outer part. The wearable device further comprises at least one band disposed on the outer part between the outer part upper end and outer part lower end.

One variation of a method for fabricating a dermal heatsink includes: fabricating a substrate defining an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and an open network of pores extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface; activating surfaces of the substrate and walls of the open network of pores; applying a coating over the substrate to form a heatsink, the coating comprising a porous, hydrophilic material and defining a void network; removing an excess of the coating from the substrate to clear blockages within the open network of pores by the coating; hydrating the heatsink during a curing period; heating the heatsink during the curing period to increase porosity of the coating applied over surfaces of the substrate; and rinsing the heatsink with an acid to decarbonate the coating along walls of the open network of pores in the substrate.

Bladders/containers designed to hold a meaningful amount of material (in any state: solid, liquid or gas) to conductively absorb heat from the human body. In addition, the material may be consumed by the user wearing the bladder/container, thus providing a source of hydration for the user. The bladders/containers would also enhance impact and/or ballistic protection of the user.

The present invention comprises a heat transfer vest. The vest is configured to mount a plurality of heat transfer packs on its interior surface. In the preferred embodiments the appropriate portions of the interior surface are covered in a hook-compatible material. In these versions, the thermal transfer packs include one or more hook panels that are used to attach the packs to the interior surface.

A load-bearing jacket. More specifically, a jacket comprising an outer layer made of heavy-duty cloth material, removable jacket sleeves, a vest shell, a removable vest liner, an integrated connector system, and an integrated tool belt system. The integrated tool belt system, in some embodiments, includes at least one belt strap permanently affixed to the jacket on one end and having a locking system on the other end.

Aspects herein are directed to a cooling garment. The cooling garment can include a vest configured to be worn by a wearer. One or more pockets on the vest may be configured to receive one or more icepacks. The one or more pockets may include a stretch material on a front portion of the one or more pockets. The one or more pockets can further include a non-stretch material on a back portion of the one or more pockets.

A second functional unit for brake pressure control at each wheel brake of a multiplicity of wheel brakes in a redundant manner in relation to a first functional unit of a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system is disclosed. The second functional unit has at least one electrical brake pressure generator that is configured to generate a respective brake pressure, on a wheel-specific basis, at the multiplicity of wheel brakes. A hydraulic motor vehicle brake system, method for operating a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system, and motor vehicle control unit are also disclosed.

A temperature-regulating garment is provided for assisting a user with regulating body temperature. A garment body has first and second major garment body edges. The garment body has a neckline formed by a least a portion of the first major garment body edge. The garment body has a front right panel, a front left panel, and a back panel. At least one armhole is located laterally between the back panel and a selected one of the right front panel and the left front panel. First and second neck pockets are each configured to accept a temperature-regulating pack. The first neck pocket is disposed upon at least one of the right front panel and the back panel, spanning the first major garment body edge. The second neck pocket is disposed upon at least one of the left front panel and the back panel, spanning the first major garment body edge.
