A reinforcing clinical wrap is provided with integral thermal management. The clinical wrap includes a fluid circuit for a heat transfer medium to circulate between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A shape conforming medium is disposed within a portion of the clinical wrap providing selective reinforcement support of the portion of the clinical wrap to conform to a surface of a patient. Non-limiting examples of the shape conforming medium may include a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological elastomer, a magnetorheological foam, a UV curable resin, and a phase change material.

A cover for human and domestic mammals, which provides cooling and warming to a wearer utilizing tubing attached to the cover and filled with liquid. The liquid is distributed throughout the tubing by a pump and the temperature of the liquid is controlled by a thermostat. The cover and pump are portable wherein the pump is housed in a carrying bag. The pump is interchangeable with additional covers for heating and cooling as desired.

An article is provided which includes a flexible body configured to cover part of a user's body, at least one humidity sensor coupled to the flexible body and configured to measure a humidity of the user's skin or an internal microclimate; at least one temperature sensor coupled to the flexible body and configured to measure a temperature of the user's skin or an internal microclimate; at least one microclimate control element coupled to the flexible body; a controller functionally coupled to the at least one humidity sensor and the at least one temperature sensor to receive measured humidity and temperature signals as an input and functionally coupled to the at least one microclimate control element, the controller being preprogrammed to maintain the internal microclimate under a discomfort threshold value; a user interface functionally coupled to the controller; a power supply; and a switch.

An apparatus and method to selectively create a heat transfer effect and sensation of cooling within bedding on a mattress. A programmable application is accessible on a wireless network and is programmed to provide appropriate settings to attain changes over time of a space within bedding that pertain to at least one of heating the space and realizing a cooling sensation within the space. A wireless receiver is configured to receive commands in a wireless manner that are indicative of the appropriate settings provided by the programmable application to effect changes over time of the space within the bedding attributed to heat transfer with respect to the at least one of heating the space and realizing a cooling sensation within the space. The heat transfer occurs as a result of fluid flow either within a mattress or within space in bedding over the mattress.

The Wrapping Hammock is the only product of its kind that imitates a mother's womb environment providing a tight wrap around a child for comfort. Also known as “The Next To Me Baby Hammock,” the disclosure is uniquely designed with a breathable, durable, hammock material to guarantee babies have a familiar and safe sleeping experience. The disclosure includes a sheet gathered at a first end attached to a first point and gathered at a second end attached to a second point. The disclosure also includes a high durometer lengthwise wiring looping from the first point to the second point and configured to provide a lengthwise antibunching characteristic. The disclosure additionally includes a suspension cord attached to the first end and to the second end. The disclosure further includes a stand comprising a free standing arm and an anchor attached thereto configured to suspend the hammock system therefrom.

A blanket having a vibrating element, heating element, sound generator, sound speaker and programmable wake-up alarm. A circuit electrically connects the programmable wake-up element with one or more of the vibrating element, heating element, sound generating element and sound speaker element to wake a sleeping person at a pre-set time by vibrations. A remote control can be used control the circuitry and the one or more elements of the blanket.

The present invention relates to a heated blanket for use on a boat. The blanket has a top layer which is nylon, and a bottom layer which is fleece. There are one or more heater hose inserts (or openings) on each side and one or more foot pockets. The one or more heater hose inserts may be inserted with one or more heater hoses of a boat. The one or more heater hoses may blow in hot air. The hot air fills in the blanket, thereby warming the surrounding environment, which in turn warms the user body who is using the blanket. The blanket prevents the loss of body heat while utilizing the on-board heater hose to keep the user warm.

A temperature modulation system for a bed, blanket, or other furniture includes a fluid for moderating temperature change, a number of conduit circuits for directing the fluid through respective zones, a control unit including a thermoelectric device for modulating temperature of the fluid, and a pump. Each of the conduit circuits selectively and independently directs fluid through its respective zone in order to produce a temperature within the zone that is independent of the temperature outside the zone. The system also includes an arrangement of one or more zones in an arrangement in which the control unit is programmed to vary the zone temperature over time according to a schedule.

The present invention relates to heatable garments (1), comprising a garment body (3) and a heating pad (5) adhered to at least a portion of the garment body (3), wherein the heating pad (5) comprises graphene particles dispersed in a polymer matrix material. The invention also provides fabrics for making such garments, and methods of making such garments and fabrics. Also provided are heatable bedding incorporating a heating pad as described above.
