A woven material including a four layer construction formed by distinct groups of warp threads, and a method of forming the woven material. The woven material may include a first group of warp threads, and an interior weft thread portion coupled to the first group of warp threads. The woven material may also include a second group of warp threads substantially surrounding the first group of warp threads and the interior weft thread portion, and an exterior weft thread portion coupled to the second group of warp threads.

An elastic band contains: multiple warps, multiple latex yarns, and plural latex threads which are interweaved so as to produce the elastic band. The multiple warps include a plurality of cloth layers formed on side surfaces and bottoms of the multiple warps respectively, and the multiple warps include multiple elastic layers arranged among the plurality of cloth layers individually. The multiple elastic layers are interweaved by the multiple warps, the multiple latex yarns, and plural latex threads. A sewing machine includes multiple frames and multiple steel buckles so that the multiple warps are inserted through multiple frames repeatedly, and the multiple warps, the multiple latex yarns and the plural latex threads are inserted through the multiple steel buckles repeatedly so as to produce the elastic band.

The disclosure describes implantable bioprosthesis and constructs having an implantable woven ribbon with at least one integrated suture.

A flexible innerduct structure having a first margin region, a second margin region, and a middle region, where the middle region is located between the first and second margin regions. The innerduct structure contains at least two flexible, longitudinal chambers, with each chamber being designed for enveloping at least one cable.

The flexible innerduct structure contains at least one strip-shaped textile, each strip containing a first side and a second edge and extending in the longitudinal direction. All first and second edges of the strips are located in the middle region and each strip-shaped textile extends outwards from the middle region, folds about a fold axis located in either the first or second margin region and returns to the middle region. At least one strip extends from the first to the second margin region and the strips are attached together in the middle region.

A rope having a core for providing strength to the rope, where at least a metal or composite woven or warp knitted fabric having multiple substantially parallel elongated metal elements is provided around the core for protecting said core from impact and cutting, and where the multiple substantially parallel elongated elements are in the warp direction and held by yarns.

A strap includes at least a first and second area, the first and second areas being consecutive along a longitudinal axis of the strap. The strap is woven from at least the first, second and third groups of warp threads and at least one weft thread, the strap being devoid of the second group in the second area, and of the third group in the first area, the first group passing through the first and second areas. The first group and second group of warp threads are distributed over the width of the strap in the first area.

The disclosure describes implantable bioprosthesis and constructs having an implantable woven ribbon with at least one integrated suture.

A forming fabric tape for a machine for producing or processing a fiber web, the forming fabric tape including an upper fabric layer including upper longitudinal threads and upper transversal threads woven with the upper longitudinal threads; and a lower fabric layer including lower longitudinal threads and lower transversal threads woven with the lower longitudinal threads, wherein the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer are arranged above one another so that the upper fabric layer is oriented towards the fiber material web and the lower fabric layer is oriented away from the fiber web, wherein the upper fabric layer is connected with the lower fabric layer by binding threads (B1-B2) running in a transversal direction of the fabric tape, wherein a weaving pattern of the forming fabric tape is repeated in pattern repeats, wherein the pattern repeats are formed from plural longitudinal thread supergroups.

A dry wall tape for use with a panel system includes a mesh having a plurality of width strands, and a plurality of length strands which traverse the plurality of width strands, wherein the length strands are more resistant to a pulling force than the width strands and wherein the tape is configured to be applied to the panel system.

Weaving equipment may include strand positioning equipment that positions warp strands and that inserts weft strands among the warp strands to form fabric. The weaving equipment may include one or more guide arms that pushes warp strands in the weft direction during weaving. Fabrics having warp strands that extend in both the warp direction and the weft direction may be used in forming circuitry in fabrics such as touch sensor circuitry. For example, a touch sensor in a fabric may be formed using first conductive warp strands that form first touch sensor electrodes and second conductive warp strands that form second touch sensor electrodes that overlap with the first touch sensor electrodes. The second conductive warp strands may each have a first portion that extends in the warp direction and a second portion that extends in the weft direction across the first touch sensor electrodes.
