Systems and methods for automated manufacturing of flexible goods and related technologies are disclosed. A workpiece can be processed to temporarily change its physical properties for facilitating handling and assembly operations. The system can include one or more automated handling apparatuses for transporting workpieces between workstations. Each workstation can perform a different stage of the manufacturing process. After the goods have been manufactured, the goods can be processed such that is returns to its original physical properties.

Provided is a glass cloth with which suitable impregnation properties with low dielectric resins can be obtained.

A glass cloth includes glass yarns composed of a plurality of glass filaments, woven as warp and weft yarns, and surface-treated with a surface treatment agent, wherein when embedding the glass cloth in an epoxy resin and curing the resin, and thereafter observing a cross section of the glass cloth, a filament adhesion ratio (a number of adhesion points between filaments adhering to each other/total number of filaments) is greater than 0 and 0.80 or less.

The present invention is directed to a nanoporous cerium oxide nanoparticle (NCeONP) macro-structure containing a plurality of the cerium oxide nanoparticles which define a plurality of macro-structure pores. The NCeONP macro structure may be used to improve pigment and/or dye performance.

Methods, systems, and devices for changing cross-sectional sizes and/or shapes of flat braided sutures and the resulting constructs are disclosed. The flat braided sutures can have a textile first cross-sectional shape that can be changed to a textile second cross-sectional shape. The systems can have a heater and a die. The flat braided sutures can be movable through the heater and the die. When the flat braided sutures are in the heater, the flat braided sutures can be heatable from a textile first temperature to a textile second temperature greater than the textile first temperature. When the flat braided sutures are at the textile second temperature, the textile first cross-sectional shape can be changeable to the textile second cross-sectional shape.
