The present invention provides a colored gold-wrapped thread and a method for making a gold-plated embroidery by using the same, thereby solving the technical problem of single color of a gold-plated embroidery. The method for making a gold-plated embroidery includes preparing embroidery threads, preparing colored gold-wrapped threads and colored gold fixing threads in a mode of one-to-one correspondence of the same color, preparing an embroidery backing material, arranging a to-be-embroidered pattern on the embroidery backing material, preparing embroidery tools, arranging the embroidery backing material on a reel, and embroidering a pattern. The colored gold-wrapped thread includes a thread skin and a wrapped core, where the thread skin is made of a colored glittering silk material having metal luster, and the wrapped core is made of rayon having no twisting strength or a soft and smooth cotton thread.

A fiber for incorporation into a textile has an electronic device, and an electrical conductor connected to the electronic device is provided. The electrical conductor extends along a longitudinal axis of the fiber, and the electronic device and the electrical conductor are encapsulated by a unitary body of at least a first material.

The present invention aims to provide a fabric useful in production of clothes and other textile articles, in particular for use in a healthcare environment such as hospitals, long term care facilities, etc. The invention relates to a yarn consisting essentially of cotton fibres, hemp fibres, and fibres comprising porous particles, and to threads and fabrics comprising such yarns, as well as to the use of such clothing as healthcare staff uniforms. The yarn and fabric may further include at least one metal wire usable as a temperature sensor.

The present invention provides a multi-ply twisted yarn for a cut-resistant fabric, and the multi-ply twisted yarn comprises (i) at least a first single yarn having a skin-core structure, wherein the skin comprises aromatic polyamide staple fibers and the core comprises tungsten filaments, and (ii) at least a second single yarn having a skin-core structure, wherein the skin comprises cut-resistant staple fibers, the core comprises at least an elastomer filament, and the cut-resistant staple fibers of the second single yarn are selected from one or more of aromatic polyamide staple fibers, aliphatic polyamide staple fibers and polyethylene staple fibers. The present invention further provides a cut-resistant fabric comprising the multi-ply twisted yarn and a protective product comprising the cut-resistant fabric.

The present invention relates to an electromagnetic shielding device including at least one hollow protective textile sleeve having a main rest diameter D1 and an interior volume configured to receive one or several elongated element(s), and at least one hollow connecting textile sleeve having a rest diameter D2, D2 greater than Dl. The protective textile sleeve includes a substantially annular front part having a front open end, the connecting textile sleeve includes a substantially annular rear part having a rear open end, and the shielding device includes a first electrically conductive securing area in which the rear part of the connecting sleeve and the front part of the protective sleeve are at least partly secured.

A conductive composite yarn capable of signal or data transmission with minimized crosstalk having: a core formed of at least two metallic strands, wherein the at least two strands of electrically conductive metal are configured such that one strand is wrapped around the other strand, wherein: at least one inner cover wrapped around the core in a first direction at a rate sufficient to provide substantially complete coverage of the core by the inner cover; at least one outer cover wrapped around the at least one inner cover, wherein the outer cover is wrapped in a second direction opposite to a direction of a cover layer on which the outer cover is directly wrapped, at a rate sufficient to provide substantially complete cover of the cover layer; at least one bonding agent applied onto the at least one outer cover; and optionally, a lubricant.

Examples are disclosed that relate to haptic actuators. One disclosed example provides a haptic actuator including an inductive coil, a layer of a compressible material positioned adjacent to the inductive coil and transverse to an axis of the inductive coil, and a magnet positioned on the layer of compressible material such that the magnet is movable relative to the inductive coil via compression of the layer of the compressible material upon application of a control signal to the inductive coil. Another example provides an article including a textile formed at least partially from a yarn including a core and a conductor wound around the core to form an inductive coil, and a magnetic object integrated with the textile at a position transverse to a direction of a magnetic field formed by the inductive coil.
