A knitted fabric article, one or a plurality of dissimilarly bright and dark regions which transition into one another in a stepless manner being configured on the knitted fabric article external side of said knitted fabric article, which has a knitted base fabric composed of at least one knitted base fabric thread, wherein the knitted base fabric is embodied as a knitted compression fabric and/or as a thin knitted fabric which in the worn position is transparent.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. As the user designs apparel, the system provides feedback as to what designs can be used, such as avoiding technical constraints with their designs.

The system provides feedback to the user on how their designs may appear in a virtual storefront, such as through virtual reality or augment reality techniques.

A textile interconnection system for a textile substrate. The textile substrate may include at least one conductive fibre configured to transmit at least one of a power or data signal. The textile interconnection system includes a textile receptacle projecting from the textile substrate to define a cavity for receiving a controller device. The textile interconnection system includes a textile docking device received within the textile receptacle and coupled to the at least one conductive fibre of the textile substrate to electrically interconnect the received controller device and the textile substrate. The textile interconnection system includes a housing coupled to the textile docking device and received within the textile receptacle to mechanically interconnect the received controller device and the textile substrate.

Present invention discloses a performance training garment, particularly a whole-body performance training garment which in a single garment covers, essentially, the wearer's major portions such as torso, arms and legs. The garment body is incorporated with a series of inflatable bladders to provide external resistance to the wearers muscles. The body of the garment also includes a network of supply lines that is responsible for supplying an air inflation medium to the bladders. The inflation and deflation is controlled by a control device that has wearer operated interface. The performance training garment as disclosed herein provides the effect of exercising in a high-G environment by furnishing external resistance against which the wearer's muscles contracts.

Computerized methods and software for creating customized embroidery. Embodiments include capturing a drawing from a user in a browser window as captured vectors, receiving the captured vectors and desired stitching parameters at an embroidery engine on a server, and creating a planned pattern of stitches from the captured vectors and the desired stitching parameters. Some embodiments include returning a rendering of the planned pattern of stitches to the browser or returning rendering vectors to the browser for drawing the planned pattern of stitches in the browser for inspection by the user. The drawing can include a freehand drawing, handwriting, or a signature, drawn or written by the user in the browser window. The desired stitching parameters can include angle, width, underlay type, density, or pull compensation of the stitches. In some embodiments, width varies along a vector path, for instance, based on pressure applied by the user while drawing.

The invention relates to a method for producing a textile piece, in particular a garment, comprising the following steps: providing a predetermination unit, which predetermines a shape and/or size and/or a textile material, providing the textile material which is formed with a textile base material, wherein, in a next step by means of a production unit, the textile base material is subdivided into at least two spatially independent textile segments which are separated by at least one cutting mark, wherein the textile segments, after their assembly, produce the textile piece predetermined by the predetermination unit, in particular a garment, wherein in a next step, electrically conductive threads are incorporated into the individual textile segments by appropriate predetermination parameters of the predetermination unit, wherein the electrically conductive threads do not intersect the cutting mark and do not run thereon, not even in at least some places.
