Systems and methods for creating topographical woven fabric
Provided are systems and methods for producing seamless woven materials that are variable in each of their 3 dimensions. The systems and methods generally operate by altering heddle positions independently to impart three dimensional structure to a woven fabric. Weft yarn is woven into a set of warp yarns that have been individually raised or lowered along a particular cross section, essentially locking the weave into an intended 3 dimensional form.
WOVEN/KNITTED FABRIC
A woven/knitted fabric (1) has a plurality of ridges (6) formed along one direction, and each ridge (6) is constituted by a top (3) and side walls (4), (5) under the top (3). At least one of the top (3) and side walls (4), (5) is different in color from other two of them. At least part of the plurality of ridges (6) is arranged such that a distance L4 between the ridges (6) adjacent to each other is 0.2 to 2.5 mm. The ridges (6) are set so as to satisfy the following relations:
Ratio Ra=(L2+L3)/L4=0.8 to 7.9;
Ratio Rb=L1/(L2+L3)=0.4 to 1.6;
Ratio Rc=L2/L3=0.2 to 0.9; and
Ratio Rd=L1/L5=0.4 to 1.2,
where L1 is a width of the top (3), L2 is a thickness of the top (3), L3 is a height of the side walls (4), (5), and L5 is a distance between wall surfaces of the side walls (4), (5).

SINGLE PIECE HAMMOCK STRAP WITH INTEGRAL WOVEN EYELETS
This disclosure generally relates to a hammock strap. The hammock strap includes an elongated length of strap material that is separated into a first strap and a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap.

SINGLE-PLY RESILIENT TISSUE PRODUCTS
The present invention provides tissue webs and products having improved z-directional properties. The improved z-directional properties may be achieved by providing the structure with a unique three-dimensional surface topography, which increases the structure's Exponential Compression Modulus (K) and Caliper Under Load (C0). By improving both K and C0, the present inventors have also been able to provide tissue structures with relatively high Compression Energy (E), which enables the structures to be calendered at high loads without significant loss of sheet bulk or degradation of strength.
