A method of manufacturing multi-ply separable textured yarn, the method comprising, passing a multi-ply separable interlaced filament yarn through a texturizing unit to form a multi-ply separable draw textured yarn, wherein the multi-ply separable interlaced filament yarn is separable in to at least two separable interlaced filament yarn, wherein the interlacing of the filaments within each separable interlaced filament yarn is retained during further processing of the yarn to fabric and in the fabric.

A covered yarn material for a heating blanket felt, a covered yarn, and a woven product thereof are provided. The covered yarn material includes a skin-layer material and a core-layer material, where the skin-layer material includes 20 wt % to 30 wt % of a powder melt mixture and 80 wt % to 70 wt % of a mixed-melt raw material; the core-layer material includes 100 wt % of a core-layer filament; the powder melt mixture is composed of the following components: 20 wt % of a carbon nanotube (CNT), 35 wt % of a graphite powder, 25 wt % of a copper powder, and 20 wt % of a jade ore powder; the mixed-melt raw material includes one or more from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA) 6, PA66, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), and polycarbonate (PC); and the core-layer filament includes one or more from PET, PA66, PPS, and LCP.

A method includes forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool, with the multiple oriented yarns serving as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together. Each of the multiple oriented yarns is formed through drawing each of multiple yarns from a corresponding supply package. The method also includes, using the multi-pick yarn package, simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

A blanket formed from multiple layers including a fabric layer on the top and a base layer on the bottom where the base layer may include a waterproof coating on at least one side. The blanket may also include an insulation layer and an adhesive scrim layer positioned between the fabric layer and the base layer. The layers of the blanket may be attached using a combination of stitching along with an adhesive to form a blanket that is waterproof and is secured together such that the fabric layer does not move relative to the base layer.

The present invention relates to a composition, a fiber or a fragrance composition for improving cognitive ability or memory ability, containing a fermented Perilla frutescens extract. In addition, the present invention relates to a composition for preventing, alleviating or treating cognitive ability- or memory ability-related diseases, containing a fermented Perilla frutescens extract. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for treating cognitive ability- or memory ability-related diseases, comprising a step of administering a fermented Perilla frutescens extract to a patient with a cognitive ability- or memory ability-related disease. Compared to an unfermented Perilla frutescens extract, a fermented Perilla frutescens extract of the present invention significantly increases cognitive ability or memory ability, thereby being effectively usable as a composition for improving cognitive ability or memory ability. Moreover, a fermented Perilla frutescens extract of the present invention can be effectively used in a composition for preventing, alleviating or treating cognitive ability- or memory ability-related diseases, or in a treatment method.

A process is described wherein pile yarn is woven with cotton weft and warp yarns to produce terry fabrics, such as towels. The fabric is then washed in warm water to dissolve the PVA fibers. The amours of fibers dissolved, depends upon the count of the yarn or yarns used. By dissolving the PVA fibers, a hollow air space is produced throughout the pile yarn, corresponding to an increase in the air space in the pile yarn. By increasing the air space in the pile yarn, the resulting towels are softer and bulkier than standard cotton towels. The present invention further relates to pile yarn in terry woven fabric (warp yarn), or weft yarn, in the case of flat fabrics.

There is disclosed a warming blanket (8) having a metalized fabric exterior layer and a heating element (23). The heating element is formed from electrically conductive metal ink. The warming blanket also has a electrically insulative fabric or layer (18) which diffuses the heat produced by the heating element.

A gauze fabric includes a surface layer composed of twisted yarns, a back layer composed of twisted yarns, and a middle layer composed of twisted yarns. The middle layer is provided between the surface layer and the back layer. The surface layer and the back layer are directly and/or indirectly joined with each other. The twisted yarns in the surface layer are twisted yarns having twisting coefficient of 3.3 or less. The twisted yarns in the back layer are twisted yarns having twisting coefficient of 3.3 or less. The twisted yarns in the middle layer are twisted yarns having twisting coefficient of 3.5 or more. The gauze fabric has good touch feeling and is capable of being sewn.

A fiberfill that provides a cooling effect, comprising a synthetic filament at least partially coated with a polymeric treatment, wherein the polymeric treatment comprises at least one hydrophilic finish disposed on the synthetic filament.

A thread count of a woven textile is proliferated by simultaneous insertion within a single pick insertion event of a loom apparatus multiple adjacent parallel yarns drawn from a multi-pick yarn package. In one or more embodiments, multiple texturized polyester weft yarns of denier between 15 and 65 are wound on a single bobbin in a parallel adjacent fashion such that they may be fed into an air jet pick insertion apparatus and/or a rapier pick insertion apparatus of an air jet loom to weave a textile that has between 90 to 235 ends per inch cotton warp yarns and between 100 and 965 polyester weft yarns.
