Abstract: A heatable glove liner, including a glove shaped garment having a conductive composite yarn sewn along a portion thereof, wherein the ends of the at least one strand of electrically conductive metal forming the core of the conductive composite yarn have electrical leads configured for connection to a power source to form an electrical circuit, such that upon completion of the electrical circuit, the conductive composite yarn heats up due to electrical resistance; and a glove containing the same.

Abstract: A garment is provided prepared from a smart fabric, wherein the smart fabric contains: one or more devices providing satellite positioning measurement, accelerometer measurement, or both, conductively coupled to a battery or other DC power source, and in additional embodiments, the smart fabric contains a conductive composite yarn/sewing thread, wherein the conductive composite yarn/sewing thread has: a) a core formed of at least two strands of a conductive metal of 40 or higher gauge, wherein the at least two strands of conductive metal are configured such that one strand is wrapped around the other strand at a wrap rate of from 1 to 50 turns per inch (tpi); wherein the wrapped strand is preferably a ground wire, and b) at least one inner cover wrapped around the core in a first direction at a rate sufficient to provide substantially complete coverage of the core by the inner cover; c) at least one outer cover wrapped around the at least one inner cover, wherein the outer cover is wrapped in a second dire

Abstract: A cut, slash and/or abrasion resistant shaped knit garment having both high cut resistance and preferably light fabric weight, a cut resistance of at least 4, preferably at least 5 (as measured by ASTM-F1790-97) and preferably a fabric weight of no more than 27.9 ounces/square yard (OPSY).

Abstract: A flame retardant composition containing a phosphorous containing ammonium salt, a crosslinker, and water is provided, and its application to yarn or fabric to provide a flame retardant yarn or fabric. In a preferred embodiment, the yarn or fabric is made from a polyurethane elastomer, such as a spandex. A method to prepare the flame retardant composition and apply it to the fiber or yarn is also provided.

Abstract: A glove made from a reinforced multilayer material can prevent cuts and/or abrasions. The glove can include and exterior layer and at least one interior layer, the interior layer consisting of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene filaments. While the interior layer can entirely cover a hand of a wearer of the glove, the exterior layer does not cover the index finger of the wearer, such that the wearer's dexterity, precision, and sensitivity in their index finger are improved.
