This disclosure relates to a light-directing system, comprising a textile sheet material, which can be positioned in a light incidence region in front of a space and has a weft-thread layer composed of a plurality of weft threads, wherein the weft threads are extended substantially linearly and bound mesh openings of the sheet material. According to this disclosure, some or all weft threads have a non-circular thread cross-section bounded by a plurality of individual side parts and are arranged parallel to each other, the orientation of the side parts of the weft threads being uniform.

An elastic fabric made by a plurality of rubber threads, first elastic wefts, second elastic wefts, first wraps, high-tensile nylons and second wraps. The rubber thread, the first elastic weft, the second elastic weft are elastic, and the first elastic weft, and the second elastic weft are knitted across and interlaced with the rubber thread at right angles such that the elastic fabric is configured to be stretched in all directions. The first elastic weft and the second elastic weft are wrapped on at least three rubber threads to form a plurality of breathing holes therebetween, and the first wrap and the second wrap are wrapped along the single rubber thread such that the elastic fabric is configured to have the solid structure and the great ventilation effect simultaneously.

A masonry reinforced with at least one bed joint masonry reinforcement structure. The bed joint reinforcement structure includes at least two cords, which have metal filaments that are twisted together. The cords are oriented parallel or substantially parallel in the length direction of the masonry reinforcement structure.

A prosthetic heart valve includes a support structure and a valve assembly disposed within the support structure, the valve assembly including a plurality of leaflets. Each leaflet is formed from a predetermined leaflet material. Some leaflet materials include a metal body with a plurality of openings. The metal body may be coated with a polymer. Other leaflet materials include natural mammalian tissue subjected to a plastination preservation process.

A marine hose has a twist coefficient 1900K2900 of fiber cords constituting a fiber reinforced member with three or four twisted filaments made of polyester, an interrelationship R between a predetermined elongation ratio E2 of a plurality of types of the fiber cords having different specifications and a hose elongation ratio E1 in a predetermined expansion test of each of marine hoses in which the fiber reinforced member including the respective fiber cords as constituent members is embedded as reinforcing layers is determined in advance. A threshold Th of the ratio E2 is set based on a standard value of hose elongation ratio E1 in the predetermined expansion test and the interrelationship R and the predetermined elongation ratio E2 of the fiber cords used as the reinforcing layers is set to the threshold Th or less.

The present disclosure relates to a multiple woven fabric including a ground weave and a pattern weave, in which the ground weave and the pattern weave are arranged to be neighboring, the ground weave includes a plain weave woven so that a warp and a weft participate in weaving, and the pattern weave is a multi-layer weave including a first weave forming a first layer and a second weave separated from the first layer to form a second layer.

Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric such as woven fabric. The woven fabric may include warp strands and weft strands. In a Leno weave, a warp strand may include one or more covering strands twisted around a core strand. The covering strands and/or the core strand may be conductive to form a conductive warp strand. An electrical component may be mounted to the conductive warp strand. A first electrical connection may couple the electrical component to the core strand and a second electrical connection may couple the electrical component to the covering strand. The two electrical connections may be isolated from one another. A warp strand may have a first region in which the core includes a conductive strand and a second region in which the conductive strand forms part of the covering or is located on an outer surface of the covering.
