    Abstract: A fall protection device comprises an energy harvester to generate electrical power in response to movement of an elongate member and a circuit powered by the generated electrical power; an impact indicator connected to an elongate member, a controller connected to the elongate member and/or the impact indicator to generate a message in response to impact, and a transmitter connected to the controller to transmit the message; and/or a sensor connected to an elongate member and a controller connected to the sensor to generate a message in response to movement of the elongate member. The fall protection device could include a generator to generate electrical power, an energy storage capacitor to store the generated electrical power, a controller powered by the energy storage capacitor to generate a message in response to action, and a wireless transmitter powered by the energy storage capacitor to transmit the message.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods related to making a stamped article and articles and assemblies made therefrom. The methods include providing a partial replica of the stamped article having opposed first and second major surfaces, and then coupling the partial replica to a walled enclosure to provide a mold assembly having upper and lower chambers separated from each other by the partial replica. Compositions can be hardened in the upper and lower chambers to provide upper and lower tools having a shape complemental to the first and second major surfaces. After removing the upper and lower tools from the mold assembly, a deformable sheet can be pressed between the upper and lower tools to form the stamped article.

    Abstract: A respirator is described that includes a mask body and at least one housing directly or indirectly coupled to the mask body. The at least one housing includes a pair of slots spaced apart from each other, a cantilevered snap feature disposed between the pair of slots, and a latch connected to the cantilevered snap feature. The respirator further includes at least one cover movably coupled to the at least one housing and including a pair of arms. Each of the pair of arms is disposed adjacent to a corresponding slot from the pair of slots and includes a wide end portion. The at least one cover further includes an elongate member extending between the pair of arms and connected to the wide end portion of each of the pair of arms. The elongate member is at least partially received through each of the pair of slots.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a knit fabric including at least one continuous copper filament formed into a knit fabric including a layer of knit copper fabric having a first major plane and at least one loop of copper filament extending out of the first major plane. A knit fabric is also provided that has an interlock pattern including at least two continuous copper filament paths per layer. A further knit fabric is provided that includes a spacer fabric knit having a first layer of knit copper fabric interconnected with a second layer of knit copper fabric. Methods of making the knit fabrics are provided, including twisting or wrapping at least one continuous copper filament with a load-carrying yarn. The load-carrying yarn exhibits a minimum bend radius that wraps around an object having a diameter of 0.43 millimeters. The methods further include setting at least one tension setting on a knitting machine and using a knitting program that defines a plurality of stitch settings to knit a fabric.
