A substrate of a paper machine clothing has a usable region formed with through-channels that are non-cylindrical with a cross-sectional area becoming smaller from an upper side to a middle region of the substrate. An upper rim of at least one of the through-channels directly contacts an upper rim of at least one neighboring through-channel and the upper rims have common local maximum. A sectional plane parallel to the thickness direction of the substrate defines an intersecting line with a sidewall of a neighboring through-channel. The intersecting line has a convexly shaped first portion, a concavely shaped second portion, and a third portion that is again convexly shaped going from the at least one common local maximum toward the middle region of the substrate. There is also described a method of producing such a paper machine clothing.

A near-infrared-absorption white material, a method of manufacturing the same, and uses thereof. The near-infrared-absorption material includes copper pyrophosphate compound. The copper pyrophosphate compound has a brightness (CIE L*) value of 90 or more in a visible-ray region and is excellent in particle manufacturing properties, and a crystalline structure of the copper pyrophosphate compound is made chemically stable using a heat treatment at a high temperature. The copper pyrophosphate compound is represented by the following chemical formula:
Cu.sub.2P.sub.2O.sub.7 or Cu.sub.2P.sub.2O.sub.7.XH.sub.2O (x=1-3).

A method of preparing a fabric for perspiration exhaust pajamas and underclothing includes the following steps: (1) grey cloth weaving: weaving a perspiration exhaust fiber, a regenerated cellulose fiber, and spandex into a grey cloth; (2) singeing: singeing the grey cloth to obtain a singed grey cloth through a two-face-two-back singeing; and (3) moisture adsorption and perspiration exhaust finishing: immersing the singed grey cloth in a finishing liquid, taking out the singed grey cloth for drying, baking, washing, and then drying to a constant weight to obtain the fabric for perspiration exhaust pajamas and underclothing.

A textile is dyed by treating the textile with a composition containing 2D nano and/or microparticles of carbon and by dyeing the textile with a dye that is different from said carbon particles.

A system allows a user to select designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. The previews provide photorealistic visualizations in two or three dimensions, and can be presented on a computer display, projected on a screen, or presented in virtual reality (e.g., via headset), or augmented reality. The system can also include a projection system that projects the new designs onto garments on mannequins in a showroom. The garments and the new designs projected onto the garments have a three-dimensional appearance as if the garments having the new designs are worn by people. Software and lasers are used in finishing the garments to produce garments with the new designs and the finished garments have an appearance of the three-dimensional appearance of the garments and new designs on the mannequins with the new designs projected onto the garments by the projection system.
