Abstract: As an example of a specific fabric, the fabric would comprise 52 yarns per inch of 350 denier polyester in the warp and 132 yarns per inch of 150 denier in the fill. Using the above density calculation, this would result in a cloth having a warp density of 973 and a fill density of 1617. When viewed at high magnification, the warp yarns (41) are relatively uncrimped as compared to the textured fill yarns (43), as illustrated by the scanning electron microscope photo shown in FIG. 5 and the densities are sufficient to provide a fabric having good stretch resistance along the bias and the warp (see e.g., FIGS. 1 and 2).

Abstract: The industrial two-layer fabric has at least warp binding yarn pairs having an upper side warp and a warp binding yarn arranged vertically. On the upper side, between knuckles that two adjacent upper side warps have formed by passing over one or two upper side wefts, a warp binding yarn passes over one upper side weft to form a knuckle, whereby knuckles of the upper side warp, the warp binding yarn, and the upper side warp are formed in the mention of order over the one upper side weft. In the industrial two-layer fabric thus formed, the knuckle of the warp binding yarn does not protrude further than the knuckle of the upper side warps.

Abstract: Each of lower side wefts of an industrial two-layer fabric passes over three successive lower side warps and then under the remaining two or more lower side warps thereby forming a lower side weft design including a lower-side-weft long crimp. The lower side layer of the fabric is formed by arranging lower side wefts adjacent to each other while repeatedly shifting the weft design according to one of the following shift patterns: shifting by three warps; shifting by four warps; shifting by five warps; shifting by one warp and then four warps; shifting by three warps and then four warps; shifting by two warps and then five warps; shifting by one warp and then six warps; and shifting by one warp, four warps, five warps, and then four warps. The lower-side-weft long crimp of the lower side layer has a rectangular shape.

More particularly, one or more electrical components are formed directly onto the surface of at least one fiber. The fiber having the electrical component formed thereon may then be interlaced with other fibers to form a larger piece of fabric, which can be employed to produce an article of clothing. A group of transistors and piezoelectric components forming an accelerometer may be woven onto one or more natural or synthetic fibers. The fibers may then be employed as the warp, weft, or both, of a woven piece of fabric, or used to form a knitted piece of fabric. The fabric piece can then be cut and sewn to form a wearable item, such as a shirt, a pair of pants, a hat, or the upper piece of a shoe that includes the accelerometer.
