Patent number: 9107459Abstract: A zoned moisture management garment is presented, which provides one-way moisture transport from a wearer's body and zones of different moisture management performance. By incorporating dissolvable yarns, removable by a printable paste, with non-dissolvable yarns of different denier per filament, zoned garments with a denier differential mechanism can be created. The zoned garment optimizes evaporative cooling and wicking zones of a garment based upon a sweat profile and contact profile of the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2011Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Kirk M.

Patent number: 8679065Abstract: 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 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Innovative Design Solutions Medical, LLCInventors: Richard Schuman, Earl Schuman, Joseph Edward Okies, Kathryn V.
