Aggregating textiles for production
10465315 · 2019-11-05 · ·

Techniques for operating a loom to produce multiple different textiles during a single operation of the loom. Conventionally, a loom produces a single textile during each single operation of the loom. When producing multiple different textiles during a single operation of the loom, a single run of the mill may generate the multiple different textiles for multiple different customers. In some embodiments, during a single operation of a loom, the loom may generate a single piece of loom-finished fabric that includes multiple different textiles for multiple different customers and, following the single run of the mill, the single piece of loom-finished fabric may be cut apart to yield the different textiles, which may be one, two, more than five, more than ten, or any suitable number of different textiles for any suitable number of different customers.

Method of manufacturing one-piece textile by a jacquard machine and product made by the same
10415160 · 2019-09-17 · ·

A method of manufacturing a one-piece textile by a jacquard machine includes a preparation step, a jacquard weaving step, a textile separation step, and a textile ironing step. A woven cloth is made of the method and includes a base fabric and multiple textiles connected with the base fabric by at least one sewing area. The woven cloth is a one-piece structure made by a jacquard machine. The textiles are separated by trimming the at least one sewing area from the woven cloth. Each textile is a complete product with a one-piece structure without sewing. The manufacturing method can improve the efficiency of textile production.

USER INTERFACE-BASED DATA CENTER FABRIC DESIGN

Techniques are described by which a fabric designer system provides a user interface (UI) to enable a user to design a data center fabric. For example, a fabric designer system comprises processor(s) and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor(s) cause the one or more processors to: generate data representative of a user interface (UI) for display on a display device, the data representative of the UI comprising UI elements representing one or more fabric design requirements receive, via the UI on the display device, an indication of a user input selecting one or more of the UI elements representing the one or more fabric design requirements; generate a model for a data center fabric based on the one or more fabric design requirements and a catalog of network devices; and generate UI elements representing fabric design specifications of the model for the data center fabric.

Interactive loom
10344407 · 2019-07-09 · ·

An interactive loom, which includes a loom-mechanism, a user interface, a loom interface, and a controller. Each cam is in the form of a cylinder rotating about the axis thereof. The circumferential surface of the cam exhibits a determined surface geometry, such that each of a plurality of sections of said circumferential surface corresponds to a respective one of the arms. The circumferential surface further exhibits a respective cross sectional profile and such that each rotational position of said cam is associated with a respective state of lowered and raised arms. The loom-interface includes a motor coupled with the cam, and operates loom-mechanics according to instructions. The controller receives a design from the user-interface and transforms the design into a sequence of states of the arms required for achieving the design. The controller further provides the instructions to the loom-interface. The instructions are associated with state changes of the arms.

MATERIAL SHAPE SIMULATION APPARATUS, MATERIAL SHAPE SIMULATION METHOD, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL WOVEN FIBER COMPONENT MANUFACTURING METHOD

A material shape simulation apparatus for accurately simulating deformation of a three-dimensional woven fiber material is provided. A material shape simulation apparatus 100 includes: an orientation vector field generation unit 210 that generates a model shape orientation vector field on three-dimensional meshes of a model shape of a three-dimensional woven fiber material which is obtained by stacking a plurality of sheets of two-dimensional woven fabric made of X-yarn extending in an X-direction and Y-yarn extending in a Y-direction and binding them with Z-yarn extending in a Z-direction; a parameterization unit 220 that searches for a gradient vector for calculating a material shape orientation vector field, which is an orientation vector field of a material shape before deformation of the model shape, from the model shape orientation vector field; and an orientation vector updating unit 230 that updates the model shape orientation vector field by applying a condition of preserving a volume between the model shape orientation vector field and the material shape orientation vector field and a condition that neither the X-yarn nor the Y-yarn expands or contracts.
