  • Patent number: 10316439
    Abstract: The present invention provides a crimped polyamide yarn to which it is possible, using fibers that include low water absorption polyamide, to impart a stretch property and pliability such that it is possible for the inherent stretch properties of the crimped yarn to be appropriately expressed in a woven or knit fabric. The crimped polyamide yarn of the present invention is a side-by-side composite yarn which includes at least 40 mass % of low water absorption polyamide having an average of water absorption ratio of 5% or less at a temperature of 30° C. and a relative humidity (RH) of 90%, and in which the low water absorption polyamide is at least one component. The yarn is false-twisted, and has a crimp elongation ratio of 25% or more.

  • Patent number: 9334588
    Abstract: A three-dimension fabric by which a three-dimension fabric surface can be formed by supporting the fabric edges by a frame member and stretching the fabric, wherein the fabric per se, which constitutes the fabric surface, is provided with at least one heterogeneous portion that is different at least in yarn type and/or fabric structure type from the adjacent portion. Thus, the three-dimension fabric can be easily made into a construct of a desirable shape without using a frame having a complicated shape.

  • Patent number: 8191874
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension system including: (a) a suspension spring interconnecting a vehicle body and a wheel; (b) an actuator having an electric motor, such that the actuator is capable of generating, based on a force of the electric motor, an actuator force forcing the body and the wheel toward and away from each other, and causing the generated actuator force to act as a damping force against displacement of the body and the wheel; and (c) a control device for controlling the actuator force generated by the actuator, by controlling operation of the electric motor. The control device is capable of establishing a constant-force generating state in which the actuator force is constantly generated as a constant actuator force by the actuator with supply of an electric power thereto from a battery as an electric power source of the electric motor such that the generated constant actuator force acts in a rebound direction or a bound direction.
