An artificial blood vessel and a method for preparing the same are disclosed. The method includes: weaving warp yarns and weft yarns to form interlaced first and second weaves, both weaves extend along a weft direction and alternate to obtain a composite fabric; and successively corrugating and thermal-setting the composite fabric to obtain the artificial blood vessel. In the composite structure of the artificial blood vessel with the alternating the first and second weaves formed by the warp and weft yarns, a softness degree of the first weave is lower than that of the second weave. As a result, combining stiffness of the first weave with softness of the second weave, this composite structure ensures both low permeability and increased softness of the fabric. Therefore, it is improved to a certain extent over the conventional woven artificial blood vessels and is easier to handle and suture.

The present invention provides a process for the production of a fabric having a unique appearance and the fabric so obtained. Also provided is the clothing articles, i.e. garments, including the fabric. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing a woven fabric having a unique, e.g. “used” (i.e. worn-out) or “multi-shaded” appearance and the process includes a step of providing a woven fabric with a layer of bacterial biopolymer, dyeing at least part of the fabric together with the biopolymer layer, and then removing at least part of the bacterial biopolymer layer from the fabric.

The present disclosure provides a weaving method of a weft-backed jacquard fabric with color shading effects and belongs to the technical field of weaving methods. In a single-warp and double-weft structure with a weft yarn arrangement ratio of Wefts A and Wefts B of 2:1, by designing two groups of face weaves and backing weaves and corresponding backed points and using a shaded strengthening method, two color shading effects of color shading of the Wefts A and mixed color shading of the Wefts A and the Wefts B of the fabric are achieved. A maximum number of shaded weaves is [R/N(6R−2J.sub.2−J.sub.1−3)+2], and a grade number of shaded color is less than or equal to the maximum number of the shaded weaves. The designed fabric meets the covering requirements and can be mass produced.

The present invention relates to: a toe sock having toe holes, which are formed by vertically backstitching between the toes of a sock and into which the toes are separately inserted; and a manufacturing method therefor and, more specifically, provided is a part, which has toe holes formed by vertically backstitching between the toes of a sock, formed into a flexible elastic part (20), wherein the elastic part (20) is manufactured by being woven with a flexible yarn and continuously forming wrinkles (22) flexible in the widthwise direction, thereby enabling the toes to be conveniently inserted and worn by the flexible movement of the elastic part (20) and providing an excellent appearance quality because of the low contraction deformation of the appearance of the sock.

A woven shielding textile includes a set of weft yarns and a plurality of warp yarns, including a set of primary warp yarns and a set of secondary warp yarns. The set of primary warp yarns and the set of secondary warp yarns are selectively interlaced with the set of weft yarns using a double beam weaving system such that the woven shielding textile is warp-faced. A face surface is predominantly composed of the set of primary warp yarns and a back surface is predominantly composed of the set of secondary warp yarns, while the plurality of warp yarns alternates between the set of primary warp yarns and the set of secondary warp yarns. A substantial percent of light incident to the woven shielding textile does not pass through.

Woven material having tapered portions and altering the weave pattern and/or material construction in the tapered portion. The woven material includes a first width portion comprising a first weave pattern formed in a plurality of layers of warp threads. The plurality of layers of warp threads include two distinct outer columns of warp threads, and inner columns of warp threads positioned between the two distinct outer columns. The woven material may also include a tapered width portion formed adjacent the uniform portion. The tapered portion includes the first weave pattern formed in the plurality of layers of warp threads of the inner columns of warp threads, and a second weave pattern formed in at least a portion of the plurality of layers of warp threads of the two distinct outer columns of warp threads. The second weave pattern may be distinct from the first weave pattern.

A fabric construct consists of a woven fabric of weft and warp yarns, and the fabric has an area defined by plurality of zones consisting of at least one zone of a first zone type, optionally, at least one zone of a second zone type; and at least one zone of a third zone type. The third zone is a transition zone disposed adjacent the first and/or second zones. All the zones are formed in a unitary woven construct, with adjacent zones seamlessly joined together. The transition zone includes a plurality of bands of sets of weft and/or warp yarns that collectively provide a progressive transition for an attribute of the first zone type through at least the transition zone and to the second zone type, if present. The fabric construct may be used in various end products and is particularly suited for use in apparel applications.

The present invention discloses to relates to an electrically conductive fabric, and a manufacturing method and an apparatus thereof, and more specifically to an electrically conductive fabric, and a manufacturing method and an apparatus thereof, wherein part of electrically conductive wire knitted or woven together into fabric is selectively exposed to the outside of the fabric to perform the tying of electrically conductive wires and the connection of various elements and modules quickly and conveniently, so that workability and productivity can be improved.

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of turf reinforcement mats that include spun yarns and/or multifilament yarns in either or both of the warp and weft directions.

An authentication device comprising a woven authentication pattern, wherein the woven authentication pattern comprises a plurality of pattern forming woven elements each defining at least one pattern defining element or a plurality of pattern defining elements, and each pattern forming woven element is formed by a plurality of threads having contrasting optical or visual properties in twisted mutual engagement, wherein said pattern defining element has a spiralling outline or boundary and adjacent or abutting pattern defining elements of a pattern forming woven element are visually or optically distinguishable.
