A sound insulation structure for a garment is disclosed. The sound insulation structure includes a first layer comprising a sound absorbing material, and a second layer configured to be at least one of sound reflecting and sound diffusing.

Heated clothing with a tightness adjustable function includes an outer fabric layer and an inner liner layer. Heating sheets are securely disposed between the outer fabric layer and the inner liner layer. A back waist region corresponding to heating sheets is provided with an adjustment structure configured to tighten the heated clothing. In the present application, the adjustment structure can tighten the fabric of regions of the heating sheets. Moreover, the adjustment structure is concealed within the heated clothing.

A CBRN coat is provided with two sleeves, at least one chest section and a hood. The coat has a face-cover connected to the at least one chest section with an opening for receiving a gasmask extending partially through the opening. The opening has an uninterrupted circumference. The coat has a zipper connecting the hood to the face-cover, thereby forming a head covering which encapsulates the head of the wearer when wearing said coat.

An apparatus suspends a personal radiation protection garment above a work surface. The suspension apparatus comprises a support member positioned above the work surface, a cable mechanically suspended from the support member, and means for counter-balancing the weight of the personal radiation protection garment attached to the cable. Means for attaching the counter-balancing means to the personal radiation protection garment suspend the personal radiation protection garment. The attaching means includes means for disconnecting the garment from the counter-balancing means, the disconnecting means manually operable by one hand of a user and disposed within reach of the user while wearing the personal radiation protection garment attached to the counter-balancing means. The personal radiation protection garment is supported in suspension and may be disconnected from the counter-balancing means by the one hand of the user for releasing the personal radiation protection garment from suspension while still being worn by the user.

A protective garment assembly for preventing a constricting snake from attacking a user includes a suit that may be worn by the user. A body portion of the suit may be worn on the user's torso. A pair of arm portions of the suit each may be positioned around an associated one of the user's arms. A plurality of leg portions of the suit each may be positioned around an associated one of the user's legs. A plurality of blades is coupled to each of the body, arm and leg portions of the suit. A constricting snake cannot constrict the user without being injured by the plurality of blades.

There is provided a garment including: a first liner defining an innermost layer; a second liner extending over the first liner; an outer shell defining an outermost layer and extending over the second liner, the outer shell having an inner surface; and an array of spacer pads distributed across the inner surface of the outer shell, the array of spacer pads being positioned to maintain a gap between the second liner and the outer shell, each spacer pad of the array of spacer pads being separated one from another by at least one air circulation channel. The garment may include a mesh fabric extending over the array of spacer pads and extending over at least one portion of the inner surface of the outer shell, the mesh fabric decreasing the THL value of the firefighter protective garment and increasing the TPP value of the firefighter protective coat.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of killing cells in vitro or in vivo. In particular examples, the method includes contacting a cell having a cell surface protein with a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody-IR700 molecule, wherein the antibody specifically binds to the cell surface protein. In particular examples the antibody recognizes a tumor-specific antigen on the surface of a tumor cell. The cell is subsequently irradiated, such as at a wavelength of 660 to 740 nm at a dose of at least 1 J cm.sup.2, thereby killing the cell. Also provided are wearable devices that include an article of clothing, jewelry, or covering; and an NIR LED incorporated into the article, which can be used with the disclosed methods.

The present disclosure relates to a multilayer fabric for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive protection of various structures. According to the present disclosure, durability and all-weather protective performance against chemical, biological and radiological weapons are improved, and superior comfort of wearing is provided. In addition, since heat and sweat can be discharged to the outside during the wearer's activities, it reduces thermal fatigue and provides excellent comfort and activity. In addition, it can be used in various ways not only for chemical, biological, and radiological protection but also as a protective product for private industries by increasing the protective performance against aerosol particles and vapor phase chemical reactions while maintaining the function of the inner fiber.

A weight-distributing exoskeleton capable of supporting and/or control the distribution of at least part of the weight of a protective garment and/or face shield proximate the knee of the user. The exoskeleton may include a plurality of leg structures, each leg structure including a knee joint or knee hinge configured to bear the load of the protective garment, and a foot member including a magnetic quick release mechanism configured to control quickly engage with and release from the leg structures. The weight of the protective garment and/or face shield is transferred to the floor such that the user bears little to no burden of carrying it.

A tactical shirt includes a body having a neck opening. A collar at least partially surrounds the neck opening. The collar includes a front portion, a rear portion, a first transition between the front portion and the rear portion on a first side of the collar, and a second transition between the front portion and the rear portion on a second side of the collar. A free perimeter edge of the collar defines a first collar point at the first transition and a second collar point at the second transition.
