The apparel is an athletic garment formed from textiles for use as a resistance training tool that works by increasing the fluid resistance such as aerodynamic drag or hydrodynamic drag on an athlete in a predetermined event. The athletic garment has a first fabric for covering at least a portion of a first body segment, and a second fabric, different from said first fabric, for covering at least a portion of a second body segment; wherein the second fabric is a turbulence-generating fabric.

A shoulder rehabilitation and exercise device is disclosed which enables a user to perform internal and external rotations of both right and left shoulder. The device is comprised of a base plate, hydraulic damper, restrictor arm, actuator arm, elbow cup and hand grip. A smooth, fluid-like movement is achieved during performance of arcuate internal and external shoulder rotations while also providing automatic increases and decreases in resistance to such motion in response to user effort. In certain preferred embodiments, in addition to such automatic adjustment of resistance, the device includes a means of manually adjusting resistance. The device may be utilized to perform the aforementioned internal and external rotations on a user's right or left side without need for making any adjustments to the machine. Range of motion limitations may be set to control the arcuate degree of internal and external rotations performed. Adjustment in the elevation of a user's forearm via adjustment of the actuator arm is provided. The actuator arm includes an adjustable elbow cup and adjustable hand grip. The device does not store potential energy or produce sufficient momentum to oppose a user's immediate and safe termination of motion.

A refrigerator is provided that includes a crisper system having one or more moveable and removable drawers. The drawers include rollers extending downwardly and outwardly from the drawers to provide maximum storage volume. The rollers are configured to work with channels formed in a support system, which may be integrally formed with a bottom floor of a compartment of the refrigerator. Therefore, the rollers and channels of the support system provide easy access and removability of the drawers of the crisper system.

A resistance component configured for imparting a resistive force to a connected exercise component is provided. The device includes a frame pivotally supporting a selection arm which has a weight operatively connected to the selection arm by a pin arm. The weight imparts a force resisting rotation of the selection arm by a flexible member engaged with the exercise component. Adjusting the engagement of one end of the pin arm to an arched engagement path along the selection arm adjusts mechanical advantage and the resistive force.

A method for producing a steel tube, wherein a steel sheet is formed into tubular body having a round cross section in a bending process, welded in a subsequent welding process along longitudinal edges facing each other for producing a continuous longitudinal seam, and then subjected to a stress-relieving treatment. The production quality is improved, with reduced production time, because the stress-relieving treatment is performed in a process for concentrically truing along the circumference in at least one segment relative to the longitudinal axis thereof, while cold forming by compression (FIG. 1). The mechanical technological properties of the material are also thereby improved.

A tri-block copolymer is disclosed for use as an impact modifier in polyamide compounds also containing a compatibilizer, preferably also having reinforcing organoclay exfoliated and dispersed therein. The tri-block copolymer comprises an aromatic monomer, an olefin monomer, and a alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer.

The invention relates to an automatic centrally-mounted road junction reversing device in a sliding block sorter, belonging to the technical field of logistics conveying and sorting. The automatic centrally-mounted road junction reversing device is characterized by comprising a fixed plate and a guiding reversing plate, wherein the fixed plate is provided with four tracks; a first walking trolley moves from a track I to a track III along a straight line a; a second walking trolley moves from a track II to a track IV along a straight line b; the guiding reversing plate is of a triangle structure, a joint of two symmetrical sides is hinged with the fixed plate through a rotating shaft; the center of the rotating shaft is equidistant to the two straight lines, and the side just opposite to the rotating shaft is of an inward bending curve shape; the guiding reversing plate is provided with a left guide rail and a right guide rail; the second walking trolley drives the guiding reversing plate to rotate anticlockwise, till the right guide rail and the straight line b are collinear, the track II and the track IV are connected; and the first walking trolley drives the guiding reversing plate to rotate clockwise, till the left guide rail and the straight line a are collinear, the track I and the track III are connected.

A variable combination patch pocket template satisfying different shapes, the variable combination patch pocket template includes a left upper board, a right upper board, a lower board and a pressing board, and both the left upper board and the right upper board include a first upper board and a second board. Two upper boards, the first upper board and the lower part of the second upper board are provided with an upper board sewing through groove, the upper part of the first upper board is provided with a hollow opening with the same shape as the upper board sewing groove, and the lower board includes a first The lower board and the second lower board, a flashboard is arranged between the first lower board and the second lower board; the flashboard includes a push-pull frame and a shielding strip, and the shielding strip includes an upper shielding strip and a lower shielding strip, the The bottom of the upper shielding strip is provided with an inverted triangle shielding block, and the top of the lower shielding strip is provided with an inverted trapezoidal shielding block. The invention realizes the free conversion of two kinds of garment patch pockets in the same template, fast ironing-free sewing of the garment patch pockets, natural addition of fabric capacity at the opening of the garment patch pockets, and quick positioning of the body pockets and the pockets of the bottom template.
