Abstract: The Internet can be configured to provide communications to a large number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Devices can be designed to address the need for network layers, from central servers, through gateways, down to edge devices, to grow unhindered, to discover and make accessible connected resources, and to support the ability to hide and compartmentalize connected resources. Network protocols can be part of the fabric supporting human accessible services that operate regardless of location, time, or space. Innovations can include service delivery and associated infrastructure, such as hardware and software. Services may be provided in accordance with specified Quality of Service (QoS) terms. The use of IoT devices and networks can be included in a heterogeneous network of connectivity including wired and wireless technologies.

Abstract: A brassiere which is particularly suitable for use during sporting activities or for persons in postsurgical rehabilitation. The bra has a front panel of non-stretch material, such as a cotton/polyester blend, and a back panel of stretch material, such as a nylon/lycra blend. A drawstring is provided through the front panel to allow the wearer to mold the front panel to provide the desired degree of breast support and comfort. Straps having one end connected to the front panel and another end connected to the back panel may be provided. The straps are preferably formed of a non-stretch material and include a length-adjustment device. Either the front panel or the back panel may be divided into two portions to allow the wearer to put on the brassiere without raising their arms above their head. The two portions of the panel which are divided can be fastened by a variety of known fastening means.
