The terry garment-region is directly bordering and adjacent to the non-terry garment-region. The terry garment-region and the non-terry garment-region are a seamless continuation of each other. Similarly, a continuous fabric for making clothes includes: a terry fabric-region having terry-knit cloth, and an adjacent and immediately bordering non-terry fabric-region having non-terry-knit cloth. Optionally, TPU or PVC elements or plastic elements are embedded within the terry garment-region, or within the non-terry garment-region; or such elements cover, or are covered by, the terry garment-region or the non-terry garment-region.

Abstract: A knitting system includes a seamless circular knitting machine. It has a circular set of needles having a particular number of needles (M), in the range of 500 to 2,500 needles, arranged in a circular pattern; and a knit controller to selectively operate each one of the needles on a needle-by-needle basis. The system includes a digital computational design tool, to receive a bitmap image, having a pixel width resolution that is identical to the particular number of needles; and based on analysis of the bitmap image, to generate and to send knitting instructions to the knit controller of the seamless circular knitting machine, based on direct correlation between (I) a particular Nth pixel in a particular Rth row of the bitmap image, and (II) needle activity of a corresponding particular Nth needle needles when said Nth needle knits the Rth row of a knitted product.

The second level of drying capability is greater than the first level of drying capability. A squared-centimeter of the first garment-region, being wet by absorbing N milliliters of water, becomes dry within T1 seconds; whereas, a squared-centimeter of the second garment-region, being wet by absorbing N milliliters of water, becomes dry within T2 seconds; wherein N is a pre-defined positive number; wherein T2 is smaller than T1.

Abstract: Underwear or undergarment, particularly for a female wearer. A seamless knitted-yarn tubular blank is produced and is rotated; a front-side partial-cut is introduced, and a rear-side partial-cut is introduced; thereby forming two leg openings and one waist opening. Optionally, an elastic-free lace band is seamlessly glued or bonded or attached to the region that borders the waist opening. The underwear can be manufactured from a single, seamless, tubular knitted-yarn blank, without leaving or removing or discarding any fabric residues.

Abstract: Garment and clothes that are unravel-free and roll-free. A garment includes a particular garment-region made of knitted fabric. A majority of threads of the knitted fabric are yarns other than a thermally-fused thermoplastic yarn, such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene, cellulose, polyurethane. At least one thread of the knitted fabric is a thermally-fused thermoplastic yarn that is knitted integrally in the knitted fabric and is located within N millimeters from an edge or an opening of the garment, wherein N is in the range of 0 to 10 millimeters. The edge or the opening of the garment-region is unravel free and is roll-free, due to inclusion of, or proximity to, the thermally-fused thermoplastic yarn in the knitted fabric.

Abstract: Clothing articles having one or more pre-defined encapsulation zones, as well as systems and methods of producing such clothing articles. A clothing article is made of a fabric intended to cover a region of a human body of a wearer. The fabric includes at least one encapsulation zone which is surrounded by a surrounding region. The encapsulation zone includes at least a first encapsulation region, which is surrounded by a second encapsulation region, which is surrounded by a third encapsulation region. The first encapsulation region has a first level of elasticity; the second encapsulation region has a second level of elasticity that is smaller than the first level of elasticity of the first encapsulation region; the third encapsulation region has a third level of elasticity that is smaller than the second level of elasticity of the second encapsulation region.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing secure data protection and recovery. A virtual data center can be created on backup servers to manage data backup for a specific client. Backups can be performed by a master server in the virtual data center initiating a secure network connection with a client computing device at a random or pseudo random time within a backup window specified by the client. A backup agent on the client computing device can execute a data mover program complied at the client's computing system but received from the master server to retrieve and save backup data at a random or pseudo random temporary location. The saved data can be transmitted and stored on data storage accessible only by a storage server. Backup data can be inspected in an isolated inspection server and be made retrievable through a secure data repository accessible by the client.

Abstract: Clothing articles formed of melting yarn and non-melting yarn, and system and method of producing such clothing articles. A clothing article includes: a first garment-region which consists of, exclusively, non-melting yarn, wherein the first garment-region has a first level of rigidity; and a second garment-region which comprises a mixture of both (i) non-melting yarn and (ii) stiffed melted-yarn, wherein the second garment-region has a second level of rigidity which is greater than the first level of rigidity. A garment includes multiple garment-regions having different levels of rigidity, wherein each garment-region consists of a different ratio of non-melting yarn to stiffed melted-yarn.
