Title: Piezoelectrically controlled active wear
Inventor: POTTENGER MICHAEL D
IPC: A41C3/00
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: An article of clothing including a piezoelectric transducer and an electrical component restrains movement of a first body portion relative to a second body portion. The article of clothing can be a sports bra that controls the wearer's breast movement relative to the wearer's torso. As the breast moves, the piezoelectric transducer deforms and induces a voltage that is passed to the electrical component. The electrical component provides either a resistance or a control signal to the transducer. The transducer stiffens in response to the electrical component and reduces the movement of the breast by placing an external force on the breast.

Title: Vehicle streamlining structure
Inventor: TELNACK LEE J
IPC: B62D35/00
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: Two layers of a flexible and essentially impervious material are sealed to each other at their edges and are otherwise separate from each other so as to form an interior portion. Many lengths of thread connect the layers together at numerous points throughout the interior portion. The length of the thread that is between the layers is relatively short and the thread connects the layers at a sufficient number of points to restrain the layers and hold them in a spaced relationship when the interior portion is inflated with air. Applying modest air pressure to the interior portion produces a lightweight structure of sufficient stiffness that is attached to the rear ends of trunk trailers to improve airflow and reduce drag at highway speeds.
