The present invention relates generally to the field of garment fabrics. More specifically, the present invention relates to an insulated garment fabric device comprised of a front layer, a rear layer and a middle layer between the front and rear layer. The front and rear layers are preferably manufactured from a fabric material. The middle layer is preferably manufactured from an insulated material such as, but not limited to, biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate or heat conducting-foil. The front and rear layers may further be comprised of indicia and may be infused with a plurality of compounds. In addition, the device is comprised of a method of manufacture and use, wherein the device can be used to make garments and other objects such as, but not limited to: blankets.

Apparatus, systems and methods related to convertible garments for multiple uses. In one illustrative embodiment, one exemplary convertible garment may include a multilayered textile body having a central opening, which can be arranged in a first conformation to serve as an insulated jacket or poncho that features a hood disposed at the central opening, and, may include hand-warming and security pockets and a yoke with a closeable recess. Such a convertible garment can be arranged in a second conformation to serve as an insulated ground cloth and reversed to serve as a protective cover or blanket. The garment may feature an attached storage pouch that is stowed in the yoke recess in the first and second conformations. In a third conformation, the garment may be folded and stowed in the storage pouch to serve as a vented cushion.

A garment having a first layer of fabric and a second layer of fabric at least partially coupled together via adhesive to form a plurality of cavities where each cavity is configured to receive air. The garment can further include a valve in fluid communication with at least one air cavity of the plurality of cavities and is configured to inflate the plurality of cavities to a target volume.

Digital or “smart” contracts execute in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may specify a digital contract via a contract identifier in a blockchain. Because there may be many digital contracts offered as virtual services, the contract identifier uniquely identifies a particular digital contract offered by a virtual machine, vendor or supplier. The blockchain is thus not burdened with the programming code that is required to execute the digital contract. The blockchain need only include or specify the contract identifier (and perhaps one or more contractual parameters), thus greatly simplifying the blockchain and reducing its size (in bytes) and processing requirements.

Digital or “smart” contracts execute in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may specify a digital contract via a table identifier in a blockchain. Because there may be many digital contracts offered as virtual services, the table identifier uniquely identifies a particular decision table and/or the digital contract offered by a virtual machine, vendor or supplier. The blockchain is thus not burdened with the programming code that is required to execute the decision table and/or the digital contract. The blockchain need only include or specify the table identifier (and perhaps one or more contractual parameters), thus greatly simplifying the blockchain and reducing its size (in bytes) and processing requirements.

A patient garment for post-surgical and other medical-related procedures is provided. The garment can include a main body with a front portion, rear portion, upper collar end, lower waist end and arm openings that are collectively configured to fit around a patient's upper body portion. The front portion can include first and second side sections, each having a longitudinal edge that form a separable front seam for opening and closing the front portion of the garment. The garment can include as many as twelve or more pockets located on the interior and exterior surfaces of the garment. The pockets can be located intermediately along the height of the front portion of the garment. At least one of the pockets located along the collar end of the garment is configured for receiving a drainage reservoir connected to a patient's cranial or neck drainage site. At least one surface of the garment, such as the interior of the garment, is fabricated from a material that has been chemically treated to reduce surface friction and irritation against the skin of a wearer. The chemical treatment of the fabric may comprise of dimethicone.

Reflective articles of wear are disclosed. The reflective articles of wear can include an elastomeric material and reflective components coupled to the elastomeric material. The elastomeric material forms a plurality of apertures.

This invention describes a 3-layer insulation material (10) comprising a first fabric layer (12), a second fabric layer (14) and a third fluted intermediate fabric layer (16) between the first and the second fabric layers (12, 14), the fluted intermediate fabric layer (16) being attached alternately to the first and the second fabric layer (12, 14) with longitudinal seams (18a-18n) forming longitudinal channels (20a-20n) for the insulation material (22) having individual insulation material (22) bundle in-side each longitudinal channel (20a-20n). Also disclosed are a method and an arrangement for producing the same.

A composite material for an insulation baffle comprising a baffle layer comprising a plurality of baffle shell structures coupled to one another by spacers, wherein each of the baffle shell structures comprises a baffle face layer and a baffle back layer that define a cavity therebetween, and wherein the spacers define a breathablity zone having a higher air permeability than one or more of the baffle face layer and a baffle back layer measured in accordance with ASTM D737.
