this citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. a seamless fabric tube under consideration for use in pressure suits like those worn by astronauts may also be useful on earth for protective garments. the tube is woven in a tapered shape from polyester yarn. it is then placed on a heated mandrel. the heat shrinks the fibers so that the sheath thus assumes the shape of the mandrel. the sheath is then coated with an impermeable material. the fabric is a flexible supporting structure for the coating and, therefore, impedes the wearer's movements as little as possible. since the fabric is continuous, leakage is reduced, and excess thickness at the seams is eliminated. the garment made from the fabric is expected to be durable and to require less hand labor than does a sewn suit
