Active Knit Compression Stockings offer a new, market alternative to under-sized elastic and inflatable compression technologies by leveraging recent advancements to smart material design. Shape memory alloys (SMA) are a type of smart material with shape recovery abilities that can be designed (through an annealing process) to return to a remembered form when heated. In …

An ultra-low friction fabric and - with that fabric - a men's under garment for shear protection of human skin and soft tissue had to be developed. Garments cannot protect a human user from pressure but they can mitigate shear and microclimate. Required a step one was therefore the development of a breathable fabric with …
