A self-cleaning woven wire screening or screen for classifying material. The screening includes a plurality interwoven warp and weft wires forming a plurality of openings in a screen section through which materials to be classified can pass through. The weft wires are preferably configured so that the high points or raised knuckles of the weft wires have a larger diameter, cross-sectional height or thickness than previously possible. Preferably, one or more of weft wires have a configuration that prolongs operational life of the screen or screening and obviates the need for protective encasement blocks (e.g., polyurethane encasement blocks) encasing the weft wires.

The present invention relates to a light shielding net, which can improve productivity by facilitating a weaving process, can be wound by a winding device due to a high winding strength, and can express various colors, thereby adjusting a light shielding amount and improving a design aesthetic sense. To this end, a warp yarn is made of a PE monofilament, the weft yarn is made of a PE film, and the two warp yarns are repeatedly woven in a Leno weave form surrounding each weft yarn.

Stents generally can include a tubular structure having circumferentially positioned undulating wires that extend over a majority of a length of the stent such that the undulations oscillate circumferentially to define a circumference of the stent. The undulations can wrap over and under adjacent undulations to form an interwoven structure. Additionally, or alternatively, adjacent wires can be joined. Wires forming the stent can be cut from elastic tubing such that each wire has a three-dimensional shape.

A wind lift mitigation net for mitigating or preventing wind lift of at least one membrane covering an outdoor aggregation of matter is provided. The wind lift mitigation net comprises a plurality of monofilaments. At least some of the monofilaments may each have a cross-sectional shape that comprises at least one vertex. The cross-sectional shape may, for example, be a non-circular shape such as a tear drop, triangular, square or stellate shape. At least some of the monofilaments may each have at least one substantially planar surface.

A suture device comprises at least one weft strand interwoven with a plurality of warp strands to define a body region. The body region has a substantially open mesh construction and at least a first elongate end region axially extending from and being one part with the body region having a substantially closed mesh construction. The width of the end region is substantially less than a width of the body region.

A stabilized fabric composed of a mesh or a woven fabric is disclosed as are methods of their manufacture, the manufacture of medical devices made using a stabilized fibers and stabilized medical devices are all disclosed. Fabrics can be stabilized by several techniques including: using mechanical, chemical and/or energetic fasteners at warp and weft intersections in the weave; by using various weaving techniques and fibers. Meshes can be stabilized when properly dimensioned and arranged junctions and struts of the necessary properties are used. All of these stabilized fabrics can be made of synthetic polymer materials such as ultrahigh molecular weight PE or PP and expanded PTFE.
