A support pocket with a conformable pouch having an elastic back is secured to the inside front of a man's brief. A pair of flaps extending upwardly from opposite sides of the pouch are movable between a fastened closed position overlapping one another and laying flat against the inside front of the brief, and an open position separated from one another to open the pouch from above.

A backpack having a shoulder harness (14) and a hip harness (20). The shoulder harness preferably consists of a pair of padded shoulder strap assemblies (14a and 14b) that have elongate pockets (27) sewn into their outer linings into which contour plates (26) are fitted to control the lateral curvature of the straps. The plates are selected to have the stiffness and shape to suit the chest and shoulder shape of the individual user. The hip harness (20) is preferably divided into independent left and right halves (20a and 20b) that are each pivotally attached to a frame element within the front lower portion of the pack. While the hip harness may be unitary, or the two halves may be more or less tightly coupled together, pivotal attachment of the back of the harness to the pack is highly desirable.

A breakwater (wave attenuation system) includes two horizontal tubes as buoyant members connected to one another, their cross-sections representing vertices of a triangle, whose legs are interconnecting struts. A perforated, submerged, ballast tube forms the third vertex. Wave motion is perpendicular to the length of the float tubes tethered to an anchor at the sea floor. A lead float tube rises in response to an approaching wave, often cutting off the wave crest, while a trailing float tube rises less and later as the wave passes. Asynchronous rising and falling of the leading and trailing, floating, top tubes rocks the breakwater, redirecting and dissipating wave momentum, energy, and water volume by rotating the assembly, thrashing the water.

A suture anchor comprises a shell and an anchor member. The shell comprises a body having a distal end, a proximal end and sidewalls therebetween defining an axial cannulation therethrough. The anchor member comprises a body having a distal end and a proximal end which is sized to fit within the cannulation. The sidewalls define a lateral cut-out such that with the anchor member received within the cannulation a first lateral portion of the anchor member is exposed laterally and a second, laterally opposite, lateral portion of the anchor member is enclosed by the sidewalls. A friction enhancement on the first lateral portion frictionally engages a bone surface when the suture anchor is disposed within a bone tunnel defined by the bone surface. Suture is trapped between the shell and the anchor and also between the anchor and the bone surface.

The invention relates to an upward bending correction mechanism which comprises an upper die seat. An upper die component and a correction male die are sequentially arranged under the upper die seat. The upward bending correction mechanism further comprises a lower die seat, and a lower die component and a correction female die paired with the correction male die are sequentially arranged on the lower die seat. A first wedge rod is horizontally arranged at one end of the upper die seat. A second wedge rod is vertically arranged at one end of the upper die seat. The top end of the first wedge rod abuts against the upper end of the second wedge rod. A boss is arranged on the head portion of the left end of the correction female die, the left end face of the boss is provided with an inwards-concave slope, a spring groove is formed in the lower portion of the slope, and a wedged notch is formed in the right end of the correction female die. A groove opposite to the spring grove is dig in the middle of a female die fixing plate, and a spring is arranged in the groove and the spring groove. A workpiece is arranged between the correction male die and the correction female die, and the lower portion of the workpiece abuts against the top of a material lifting block. The upward bending correction mechanism can bend upwards the workpiece and adjust overdone bending, reduces bent scratches on the surface of a product, prolongs the service lives of the dies, and improves production efficiency.
