Garments design processes

Abstract To ensure effective protection, protective clothing must be adapted to human morphology. The more a ballistic vest resembles the shape of the body, the more efficient the protection. This chapter describes the garment design process for a women s ballistic protection vest. It outlines the benefits of the darts rotation technique to ensure a good fit for comfort, obtain the required protective level and reduce the cost of the product. A 3D vest was designed, manufactured and tested, and found to be effective. 

Especially thanks to these efforts, SC CO2 can be handled safely in high-pressure equipment from the laboratory- to the industrial scale. Nevertheless, its limited power to dissolve polar or non-volatile compounds represents a major drawback in most of these applications, particularly in the garment-cleaning process, where the design of CCVphilic... 

Unlike conventionally knitted garments the seams of which tend to break up the continuity of the garment design, the seamless process allows patterns and designs to remain uninterrupted across the entire garment— front to back, over the shoulder. 

Lower-density E-plastomers have found alternate use in cast film processes to make elastic film laminates with good breathability which contain laminates of liquid impermeable extensible polymeric films with extensible-thermoplastic-polymer-fiber nonwovens and nonwoven webs of polyethylene-elastomer fibers as the intermediate layers. The development relates to a breathable film including an E-plastomer and filler that contributes to pore formation after fabrication and distension of the film. The method and extent of distension is designed to produce a breathable film by stretching the film to form micropores by separation of the film of the E-plastomer from the particulate solids. This film is useful for manufacture of absorbent personal-care articles, such as disposable diapers and sanitary napkins and medical garments. In detail, these constructions comprise a liquid impermeable extensible film comprising polyolefins. The outer layer contains extensible-thermoplastic-polymer-fiber nonwovens, and an elastic intermediate layer contains nonwoven webs of fiber E-plastomers. The intermediate layer is bonded to the film layer and the outer... 

In this discussion, Marx refers to commodities of a practical nature, such as a garment, railroad tracks, or a house. Yet the model that he proposes is useful for understanding alchemy, even if the commodity—gold—is not something whose potentiality can immediately be exploited. Put another way, in the labour-process, therefore, man s activity, with the help of the instruments of labour, effects an alteration, designed from the commencement, in the material worked upon. The process disappears in the product (Marx 1867, 180). Isn t this precisely what the traditional alchemist struggles against with all of his rhetorical force ... 

Figure 3.2. Generalized clean room design. Entry of personnel occurs via changing rooms, where the operators first remove their outer garments and subsequently put on suitable clean room clothing (see e.g. Figure 3.3). All raw materials, portable equipment, etc. enters the clean room via a transfer lock. After being placed in the transfer lock, such items are sanitized (where possible) by, for example, being rubbed down with a disinfectant solution. They are then transferred into the clean room proper, by clean room personnel. Processed product usually exits the clean room via an exit transfer lock and personnel often exit the room via a changing room separate from the one they entered (in some cases, the same changing room is used as an entry and exit route). Note that, in practice, product may be processed in a number of different (adjacent) clean rooms...

In addition to the sensors, other electronic elements are necessary for pregnancy monitoring. These include low-power amplifiers, processing units, and radios to transmit the data to a personal device. Nowadays, these are stiU hard elements soldered to printed circuit boards (PCBs), which can be sewn into the garment. An example is the Lilypad Arduino (Arduino, 2007), which is a microcontroller board designed especially for use with wearables. The board connection pins are holes that can be sewn...
