Abstract: The present disclosure provides a ringspinning system for producing a yarn. It is provided a the ringspinning system comprising a bobbin holder for holding a bobbin from which a first filament is supplied, a drafting stage for drafting the first filament together with a second filament, which is fed to the drafting stage, and a spindle, the ringspinning system further contains at least one sensor for detecting a breakage of the first and/or second filament and/or a roving comprising the first and second filament, which roving comes out of the drafting stage, and a clamp assembly comprising a clamp for fixing the second filament in the case that the sensor detects the breakage, wherein the clamp is provided adjacent the bobbin holder. It is further provided a method for stopping the supply of filaments to a drafting stage of a ring spinning system.

Abstract: A velvet fabric knitting method is applied by performing a shearing process different from the terry-cloth construction on two different yarns in a double plated circular knitting machine and by means of the invention, light effects and episodic patterning are achieved without applying any printing process and/or using jacquard circular knitting machines. The progress is achieved by producing ring-spun, open-end, air-jet, friction yarn from different material mixtures and using them as pile yarn in the production of a velvet fabric.

Abstract: A yarn spinning system has a sliver feeding part feeding a main material used for yarn formation; a main spinning unit in which the spinning procedure of the main materials is performed; suction pipes present in the main spinning unit and enabling the intake of waste fiber formed during spinning; the draft cylinders enabling orderly drawing and smoothing of the main material (fiber) fed into the system; additionally to provide conveying the injected yarns fed into the system to a draft area through the yarn feeding path; and enabling fancy yarn production by conveying the injected yarns to the main spinning unit by being centered on the main material via the yarn guide.

Abstract: A core yarn including at least one core part. The at least one core part includes at least one elastane thread having a plurality of areas with different densities and/or, the at least one core part includes at least one filament thread having a plurality of areas with different densities and are made of regenerated or synthetic materials.

Abstract: A fabric with wefts that include hard yarns and elastomeric yarns in a predetermined arrangement such that at least one hard yarn is alternately arranged with at least one elastomeric yarn, the elastomeric yarns having a greater shrinkage ratio than that of the hard yarns; the hard yarns form under portions and over portions with respect to warps, the under portions being formed when the hard yarns pass along the back side of the warps and defining loop portions, and the over portions being formed when the hard yarns pass along the front side of the warps and define connection portions, wherein for each hard yarn, the number of warps passed by the loop portion is at least 6, and the elastomeric yarns form under portions and over portions with respect to the warps in a weave that is tighter than the weave of the hard yarns.

Abstract: A unique multi-functional emergency bandage stops bleeding by: (1) optimizing mechanical properties and preventing ischemia and/or necrosis while applying enough pressure to help stop bleeding, and (2) incorporating inorganic anti-bleeding nano-structures (embedded within a gauze and/or microbial cellulose) with almost infinite life-time. Additionally, pathogen passage through the bandage is prohibited (via an intermediate filter layer). Together with the overall anti-microbial character of the bandage, the unique multi-functional bandage offers all these vital features within a single design. The unique bandage can be applied by using a single hand and bandaging direction can be changed using a unique binding apparatus.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing energy in gaseous form in submerged thin-walled tanks are secured to the ocean or lake floor but are open to the water at the tank bottoms and are configured to be filled with gas while submerged. A conduit operatively connected to the tanks provides flow from a surface source of an energy-containing gas to the tank interiors. Surface or subsurface pumping apparatus which may include piston-less pressure cylinders or have leveraged pistons provide a preselected flow rate of the energy-containing gas into the containment structure interior against a back pressure essentially equal to the static pressure of the body of water at the location of the tank to displace an equivalent volume of water through the open bottom. The conduit can be configured to allow heat transfer to vaporize liquefied gas prior to storage. Hydrogen gas can be generated and stored within the tank using Aluminum activated with Galinstan.

Abstract: A release of the frozen solvent trapped inside a solidified gel occurs when the temperature increases, followed by a dissolving of a reactive substance present in a membrane that is located in direct physical contact with the gel, resulting in the reabsorption of the reactive substance dissolved in the solvent into the solid gel layer within a constant time. In this manner, the components generating color change come together within the solid gel layer initiating a reaction to change the color of the indicator layer. Thus, the increase in temperature above a melting point of the solid gel layer is enough to activate the intelligent label with an irreversible color change.

Abstract: A cotton denim fabrics and method of making denim fabrics that are soft, smooth, bright and include a low twist multiple, a sizing at the surface of the yarn with a viscosity such that the sizing remains substantially at the surface of the yarn, and a dyed cored wherein an indigo dye penetrates deeply into the core.

Abstract: Cotton denim fabrics and methods of making denim fabrics that are soft to the touch, have a smooth surface, and have bright colors, without encountering any of the difficulties associated with denims made from silk or rayon fibers.

Abstract: A fabric with wefts that include hard yarns and elastomeric yarns in a predetermined arrangement such that at least one hard yarn is alternately arranged with at least one elastomeric yarn, the elastomeric yarns having a greater shrinkage ratio than that of the hard yarns; the hard yarns form under portions and over portions with respect to warps, said under portions being formed when said hard yarns pass along the back side of the warps and defining loop portions, and said over portions being formed when the hard yarns pass along the front side of the warps and define connection portions, wherein for each hard yarn, an average number of warps passed by the loop portion is at least 6, and wherein the elastomeric yarns form under portions and over portions with respect to said warps in a weave that is tighter than the weave of the hard yarns.
