A method is provided for destroying oocysts, and destroying or inactivating sporozoites contained within the oocysts, by contacting the oocysts with a composition comprising surface-exposed AlOH groups to cause (a) the oocysts to rupture and the contained sporozoites to be released and/or (b) the oocysts to flatten resulting in destruction of the contained sporozoites. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, food supplements and items of clothing comprising a composition comprising surface-exposed AlOH groups.

A terminal knitting texture for a single welt consisting of a single knit that starts knitting on a terminal side, wherein a plurality of courses in an antirun area at knit starting are knit without being knit at all the wales, and are knit by using first-kind knitting yarns consisting of single covering yarns provided with thick elastic core yarns in the antirun area so as to provide knitting not causing outward curls with the first-kind knitting yarns in the antirun area. In a welt knitting area continuous to the antirun area, a course knitted with the first-kind yarns is combined with a course knitted with knitting yarns lower in stretching/shrinking force than the first-kind yarn.
摘要:
The composite fabric material of the invention comprises a water-absorbing woven or knitted fabric, the area and thickness of which, or the area or thickness of which, increases by at least 10% in its water-absorbed state relative to its dried state; and an area change-restricting means composed of a woven or knitted fabric, nonwoven fabric, resin film or resin coating, the area and thickness of which does not substantially change in its water-absorbed state relative to its dried state, the area change-restricting means being bonded or sewn onto at least one side of the water-absorbing woven or knitted fabric over a partial region so as to leave a plurality of other partial regions separated from each other, or over the entire region, the means serving to restrict change in area by water absorption at the bonded or sewn portions of the water-absorbing woven or knitted fabric. Upon wetting with water, the area and thickness, or the area or thickness, of the water-absorbing woven or knitted fabric at the plurality of the partial regions that are separated from each other increases, thereby changing the three dimensional structure of the composite fabric material.

An anti-microbial and/or anti-fungal synthetic fiber that comprises various thermoplastic polymers and additives in a bi-component form in either a core-sheath or side-by-side configurations. The anti-microbial synthetic fibers comprise inorganic anti-microbial additives, distributed in certain areas to reduce the amount of the anti-microbial agents being used, and therefore the cost of such fibers. The fibers can incorporate anti-microbial additives so that they are not removed by repeated washing in boiling water and in dry clean cycles and become ineffective and conversely enhance access to the additives by washing or the like. The fibers comprise high tenacity polymers (e.g. PET) in one portion and hydrolysis resistance polymers (e.g. PCT) in another portion with the additives. The fibers can further be blended with non-anti-microbial fibers such as cotton, wool, polyester, acrylic, nylon etc. to provide anti-microbial finished fabrics. In one embodiment, binder fibers are used which are mixed with other fibers.

A process for manufacturing a differential function, double-face fabric, comprises the steps of: a) providing two different yarns, the first yarn exhibiting hydrophilic behavior and the second yarn exhibiting hydrophobic behavior; b) providing a knot yarn; and c) producing a fabric by simultaneously weaving said two yarns, and linking them with said knot yarn.

Ein Bekleidungsstück, insbesondere Unterbekleidungsstück für Personen im Militär- und im Zivilschutzbereich, ist mit einem ersten Vlies (1) aus Naturfasern oder synthetischen Fasern, einem zweiten Vlies (5) aus Natur- oder synthetischen Fasern und diskreten Flocken (4) aus Blähgraphit als flammhemmendes Material, die auf mindestens eine der Oberflächen der beiden Vliese (1,5) aufgebracht sind, versehen.
摘要:
A melt spinning process and the nylon hollow filaments and yarns made by such process which includes extruding molten nylon polymer having a relative viscosity (RV) of at least about 50 and a melting point (TM) of about 210 °C to about 310 °C from a spinneret capillary orifice with multiple orifice segments providing a total extrusion area (EA) and an extrusion void area (EVA) such that the fractional extrusion void content, defined by the ratio [EVA/EA] is about 0.6 to about 0.95, and the extent of melt attenuation, defined by the ratio [EVA/(dpf)S], is about 0.05 to about 1.5, in which (dpf)S is the spun denier per filament, the (dpf)S being selected such that the denier per filament at 25 % elongation (dpf)25 is about 0.5 to about 20 denier; withdrawing the multiple melt streams from the spinneret into a quench zone under conditions which cause substantially continuous self-coalescence of the multiple melt streams into spun filaments having at least one longitudinal void and a residual draw ratio (RDR) of less than 2.75; and stabilizing the spun hollow filaments to provide hollow filaments with a residual draw ratio (RDR) of about 1.2 to about 2.25.
摘要:
A footwear article and the method of making the same which will allow water vapor due to perspiration to transpire through the article but will prevent liquid water from external sources from reaching the wearer's foot. One form of the footwear article of the invention comprises a sock which is of three-ply construction with the inside (20) and outside (22) plies being knit and the intermediate ply (14) being made from an elastomeric polyurethane film. The three plies (14, 20 and 22) are uniquely bonded together using a pliant, waterproof adhesive.
摘要:
{PG,1 A fabric garment which automatically removes unwanted hair while being worn against the skin of the user. The garment is coated with a pressure sensitive microencapsulated depilatory agent. Pressure exerted by a hair stubble against the fabric causes the microencapsulation to rupture and dispense the depilatory agent in a small localized area around the hair follicle. The depilatory agent dissolves the hair stubble without irritating the user{3 s skin.

A waistband (100) for use in a garment (200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000) is provided. The waistband may have a flexible body (102) including a first portion (104) imparted with a first width dimension (W1), a second portion (108) imparted with a second width dimension (W2), and a transition portion (106a, 106b) imparted with a third width dimension (W3). The transition portion may be disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first width dimension of the first portion may be less than the second width dimension of the second portion. Further, the third width dimension of the transition portion may be no greater than about the second width dimension.
