A disposable absorbent article worn about the lower torso of a wearer includes at least one pair of side panels connecting a first waist region to a second waist region forming a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. Each side panel includes a waist region, a hip region and a leg region wherein the waist region, the hip region and the leg region differs structurally, functionally and visually to provide an improved initial fit and sustained fit while exhibiting a garment-like appearance.

A pantyhose undergarment is provided that has relatively sheer upper arm and body portions, the upper arm portions end as cap sleeves with knitted-in welts just above the mid upper arm area and being comprised of a sweat absorbent material in the under arm area starting at the mid upper arm and terminating down the side of the wearer's body, just adjacent to the top of the breasts and the body portion being comprised of a sheer form fitting front and back torso portion, the part of the front and back torso portion beginning just above the breast area being comprised of a sheer portion and the part beginning just below the breast area covering the stomach and abs, being comprised of a sheer reinforced control top portion. This pantyhose undergarment as one embodiment terminates just below the knees as a form fitting body hose to be worn under tight sweaters, shirts or blouses, and pants, Capri pants or long skirts and dresses, as another embodiment terminates at the upper thigh area as a form fitting body piece to be worn under a dress or skirt and tight sweaters, shirts or blouses, and as another embodiment terminates at the crotch area and extends as a thong towards the backside of the wearer to be worn as a form fitting one piece body hose with fitted pants or skirts, tight sweaters, shirts or blouses and dresses.The absorbent pantyhose undergarment protects the wearer's clothing from being soiled and stained and is a method of maintaining ones wardrobe without having to run to the dry cleaners often or replace one's clothing frequently. The absorbent pantyhose undergarment provides the user with shaping support, and because sweating is a natural and common bodily reaction to different types of human exposure, it gives the user the freedom to feel confident to interact physically and verbally under any setting without feeling discomfort or embarrassment from soiled and smelly clothes due to sweat. Where the embodiments of the present pantyhose undergarment terminate below the knees and at the upper thigh area, the reinforced control top provides support over the cellulite regions of the body, more specifically, the middle torso, stomach, abs and the upper thigh area. The knitted-in welts at the upper arm regions, leg regions and the upper thigh region blend into the sheer and control top portions of the undergarment without causing upper arm and / or leg constriction. The overall design of this undergarment provides the wearer with a smooth, tight appearance when worn under clothing without causing discomfort due to bulkiness and irritable scents due to underarm perspiration.

Absorbent articles having leg extensions are disclosed. The absorbent articles may include, for instance, an outer cover, a liner, and an absorbent structure positioned in between the liner and the outer cover. The absorbent structure includes a crotch area and leg extensions that extend downwardly from the crotch area and are configured to lay adjacent the thighs of a user. The leg extensions assist in wicking liquids away from the crotch area when the absorbent article is insulted with a liquid. In one embodiment, the leg extensions comprise at least 30% by weight of the absorbent structure or, alternatively comprise at least 30% of the total surface area of the absorbent structure.

A leg guard includes an anterior shin protective panel positioned to cover at least a portion of a user's anterior shin region, a lateral protective panel positioned to cover at least a portion of the user's lateral lower leg region, and a medial protective panel positioned to cover at least a portion of the user's medial lower leg region. The panels are mounted on one or more flexible liners in a vertically segmented orientation to articulate with respect to one another. Additional protective panels may be included to protect a user's knee, thigh, or foot. A strap for a leg guard may include a buckle having a protrusion positioned to engage an elongated opening in the leg guard. The strap may bias the buckle into a tilted position, while raised surfaces near the elongated opening resist release or rotation of the buckle.

An assist device includes a first harness, a second harness, a belt body, a mechanical unit and an attachment-detachment portion. The first harness is configured to be fitted to at least one of a shoulder region and a breast region of a user. The second harness is configured to be fitted to a leg region or a waist region of the user. The belt body is provided so as to extend to the first harness and to the second harness along a back side of the user. The mechanical unit includes an actuator provided in one harness of the first harness and the second harness and configured to wind and unwind a part of the belt body. The attachment-detachment portion is provided in the harness and the mechanical unit and is configured to detachably attach the mechanical unit to the harness.

The invention discloses a gait recognition method based on a motion timing energy graph. The method comprises the steps of: 1, detecting a gait period by detecting an extreme point of an average widthof a leg region; 2, after detecting the gait period, calculating a motion information energy diagram to characterize the dynamic information and the static information of the gait; 3, mapping the motion information energy map to a continuous RGB channel to generate a motion timing energy map; 4, classifying and recognizing the gait feature with the nearest neighbor classifier by using the motionsequential energy graph. The invention can characterize the static information, the dynamic information and the timing information of gait, and improves the feature extraction efficiency and the recognition accuracy under the condition of the side view angle.

A protective hook cover configured for use in association with a hook member having a base and a leg joined together about a bend region so as to define a retention channel therebetween. The protective hook cover comprises a base region cover portion, a leg region cover portion and a connecting cover portion therebetween. The connecting cover portion including a plurality of nub bumper members extending outwardly from the outer base surface. A combination protective hook cover and hook member is also disclosed, as is the inclusion of a strap member.

The present invention relates to an infrared detector with a titanium oxide thermosensitive layer prepared by an oxidation method. A bridge floor region of a support layer is provided with a titanium oxide film, the titanium oxide film is a semiconductor, and a bridge leg region connecting a metal and the support layer is provided with a titanium film in the same layer as the titanium oxide film, the titanium film is provided with a first protective layer, and the titanium oxide film and the first protective layer are provided with a second protective layer. The present invention also relates to a preparing method for the detector, and the method includes the steps of sequentially depositing a titanium film and a first protective layer on a support layer; removing a film of the first protective layer on a bridge floor; and oxidizing the titanium film exposed on the bridge floor to form a titanium oxide film as a thermosensitive film. The titanium film is directly deposited on the support layer, and the titanium film in the bridge floor region is oxidized and converted into the titanium oxide film as the thermosensitive film, so that the process of depositing a specific metal electrode layer is not required, the process steps can be greatly simplified, and the production capacity is improved.
