This paper reviews frequently used outdoor thermal comfort indices in hot-humid regions
and neutral thermal ranges to offer guidelines for selecting an appropriate index for hot …

Thermo-physiological comfort and safety of the people who are working as firefighter,
industrial worker, military personnel and race car driver are major concerns. This led to the …

Flexible hinge and removable attachment techniques are described. In one or more
implementations, a flexible hinge is configured to communicatively and physically couple an …

In this paper, we measured the thermal and moisture management properties of six different
types of polyester knitted fabrics that are used in the production of summer cycling clothes …

The comfort of the fabric is attained through transmission of sensible and insensible
perspiration. This can be achieved by enhancing the moisture management properties of …

A hinge mechanism for rotatable component attachment is described. In at least some
implementations, the hinge mechanism enables a Support component to be adjustably …

In this research, thermal and water vapor resistance, components of thermal comfort of 65/35
and 33/67% polyester/cotton (PES/CO) blend fabrics woven with 2/2 twill, matt twill, cellular …

A study was designed to determine the effect of basic construction parameters of woven
fabric on the thermal protection and comfort performance of the fabric. Thermal protection …
