    Abstract: Systems for producing M yarns, wherein M?1, include N extruders, M spin stations, and a processor, wherein N>1. Each extruder includes a polymer having a color, hue, luster, and/or dyeability characteristic, which are different from each other. Each spin station produces one yarn comprising at least one bundle of filaments. Each spin station comprises at least one spinneret through which filaments are spun from at least two molten polymer streams received by the respective spin station and N spin pumps upstream of the spinneret for the respective spin station. Each spin pump is paired with one of the N extruders. The processor is in electrical communication with the N*M spin pumps and is configured to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the polymers pumped from each spin pump to achieve a ratio of the polymers to be included in each M yarn.

  • Patent number: 11995053
    Abstract: A method for asset identification string error detection can include receiving an asset identification string corresponding to an asset and aggregating data associated with the asset from multiple sources. The method can include creating one or more probabilistic tables linking the aggregated data to the asset and determining a likelihood that at least a portion of the asset identification string is correct based on the probabilistic tables. The method can indicate that the asset identification string includes an error when the likelihood is less than a selected threshold and otherwise indicate that the asset identification string is correct when the likelihood is greater than or equal to the selected threshold.
