Abstract: According to one embodiment, an exercise garment with a crotch part includes a main body portion formed from a material having stretchability; and a tightening portion having higher tightening force than the main body portion, in which the tightening portion includes a pair of right and left first tightening portions respectively covering an approximately triangular region formed by the upper part of the hip, the lateral side of the lumbar region, and the vicinity of a position corresponding to the greater trochanter as the apex of the triangular region, in the right and left sides of the wearer. The first tightening portions include plural partitioned tightening portions extending in the vertical direction and adjoining in the width direction. The partitioned tightening portions are formed such that the directions of high stretchability in the respective partitioned tightening portions approach closer to one another toward the lower side.

Abstract: A compression garment, having: (a) a body portion dimensioned to be wrapped around a body limb, the body portion having a top edge, a bottom edge and a pair of opposite side edges; and (b) a plurality of bands, wherein the bands are each attachable onto the body portion at a plurality of different locations, and wherein the bands wrap around part of the body portion when the body portion is wrapped around the body limb to apply compression force to the body limb.

Abstract: A Buttocks Support Device is disclosed. Also disclosed is a support device that comprises an abdominal element and a pair of thigh support elements each of which can be but is not limited to be formed as a ring shaped element. Each thigh support element has a buttock section and a midriff or abdominal section, the buttock section being configured to lift and restrain the wearer's buttock. The preferred device includes a sleeve there over for permitting the “rings” to be tightened without pulling on the wearer's skin. It is a further aspect that the device anchor about the wearer's midriff from below the chest to the widest part of the hips or at either the waist or the hips, depending upon the wishes of the wearer. Still further, the thigh support element include adjustment means for adjusting the length of the thigh rings. Furthermore, the preferred abdominal element includes means for attaching and detaching the device from around the wearer's waist as well as adjustment means.

Abstract: In an MIMO mobile communication system in which a PDM base station communicates with a single terminal through a plurality of paths the terminal and the base station each collectively transmit control message for a plurality of paths through a path best in communication quality as based on the plurality of spatial paths' communication quality information. Furthermore the communication quality information is referred to to appropriately control the path's communication operation to switch between a plurality of types of operation. A first operation increases the path's transmission power and a second operation decreases the path's modulation level. These operations are performed by a DSP. Thus in the MIMO system the control message can be transmitted more efficiently with increased certainty.

Abstract: An undergarment that functions to shape and smooth a wearer's body profile that encircles the wearer's body from a point between the wearer's knees and upper thighs to a point between the wearer's waist and bust; and that includes an upper friction band at the upper peripheral edge to help ensure that the undergarment remains in place about the torso, a similar lower friction band to maintain the undergarment in place about the legs, a buttocks shaping or lifting means, a pleated crotch opening that can be reversibly opened and closed for facilitation of urination, and hose.

Abstract: A Buttocks Support Device is disclosed. Also disclosed is a support device that comprises an abdominal element and a pair of thigh support elements each of which can be, but is not limited to be, formed as a ring shaped element. Each thigh support element has a buttock section and a midriff or abdominal section, the buttock section being configured to lift and restrain the wearer's buttock. The preferred device includes a sleeve thereover for permitting the “rings” to be tightened without pulling on the wearer's skin. It is a further aspect that the device anchor about the wearer's midriff from below the chest to the widest part of the hips or at either the waist or the hips, depending upon the wishes of the wearer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to garments that have close body fit. The garment of the present invention comprises an elasticized waistband, a front panel having first and second sections, a rear panel having first and second sections, a crotch region disposed between and joining the front panel to the rear panel and a pair of elasticized leg openings. The first section of the front panel has a greater resistance to streching in the lateral direction than the second section of the front panel. The first section of the rear panel has a greater resistance to stretching in the lateral direction than the second section of the rear panel. The crotch region is provided with a longitudinal stretch control member that is disposed along the longitudinal centerline of the undergarment. The longitudinal stretch control member limits the stretch of the crotch region in the longitudinal direction causing the crotch region to conform to a weare's skin surface.

Abstract: A new undergarment for eliminating panty lines and panty bulges while wearing shorts or skirts. The inventive device includes a torso portion that has a front, a back, a top, a bottom, an interior, and an upper waist opening into the interior of the torso portion. A resiliently elastic waist band extending around a periphery of the upper waist opening. A pair of leg portions extend from the bottom of the torso portion. Each of the leg portions has a root portion and a lower end. The root portions of the leg portions are coupled to the bottom of the torso portion. The lower end of each of the leg portions has a lower opening through which a leg may be extended.

Abstract: A Buttocks Support Device is disclosed. Also disclosed is a support device that comprises an abdominal ring and a pair of thigh rings. Each thigh ring comprises a buttock section and a solar plexus section, the buttock section being configured to lift and restrain the wearer's buttock.
