Abstract: An exemplary line holder comprises a sheet having creases that extend between opposing sides and define a plurality of panels. The creases are foldable in alternating opposite directions such that the sheet is foldable along the creases between an open configuration and a pleated configuration. The line holder further comprises aligned groups of holes that are arranged along a direction substantially transverse to the creases, with each aligned group of holes comprising one hole in each of the panels. The line holder further comprises slots, each connecting a pair of the holes and intersecting one of the creases. When the sheet is in the pleated configuration, each aligned group of holes forms a corridor through the panels, and the slots are aligned to form pathways extending from the intersected creases to the corridors, such that medical lines can be inserted into the corridors.

Abstract: A garment, such as a vest, for applying HFCWO treatment to a patient includes an outer garment and an air bladder coupled to the outer garment. The outer garment includes an outer shell and an inner liner coupled to the outer shell to define a pocket between the outer shell and the inner liner. The air bladder is removably received within the pocket and the inner liner is made from a 3D material.

Abstract: Visual stimuli provided by surfaces of an object are selected based on anticipated viewing angles and activities associated with the viewing angles. Such surfaces can be selected based on identification and observation of significant events in a selected activity. Object zones so identified can be provided with functional ornamentation to enhance performance of one or more activities. Functional ornamentation can be based on gray level contrast, color contrast, or other visual characteristics. Dynamic functional ornamentation in which visual characteristics are a function of ornamentation motion, placement, distortion, of viewing angle can be used. In some examples, almost periodic patterns can be used, and the almost periodic patterns defined with a plurality of tiles.

Abstract: Dynamic visual indicators such as counter-predictive indicators are applied to apparel and apparatus for activities such as athletics. The counter-predictive indicators are configured to provide an indication of wearer/user orientation or anticipated future movement that differs from a true orientation or actual movement. Alternatively, the predictive indicators can be provided to reinforce or heighten perception of wearer/user orientation or anticipated future movement. In some examples, dynamic visual indicators provide apparent body axes that are tilted or displaced from a wearer's actual body axis. Such dynamic visual indicators can be selected based on measured responses to activity specific images or events.

Abstract: Garments may include targeted vent or heat retention zones including openings or heat insulation areas in the fabric of various different sizes. The locations and sizes of these openings or heat insulation areas, at least in part, may be determined based on a thermal profile of a body from which the garment is designed. For example, openings or heat insulation areas of a larger size may be provided in the garment at locations where the body typically releases a large amount of heat, and openings or heat insulation areas of smaller sizes may be provided at other locations, e.g., where the body releases less heat. Several thermal profiles may be collected and used to develop a collection of opening patterns, e.g., corresponding to specific body characteristics, body types, and/or ultimate end uses for the garment. Custom patterns may be determined and used in garments specially designed for individual users.
