An occupant restraint belt webbing forms an occupant restraint belt to restrain a vehicle occupant, and includes a plurality of warp yarns and a plurality of weft yarns. The plurality of warp yarns and the plurality of weft yarns are woven so as to extend orthogonally to each other. The warp yarns include an infrared light absorption yarn, and a thickness of the infrared light absorption yarn differs from a thickness of each yarn of the plurality of wrap yarns other than the infrared light absorption yarn.

A method of making a yarn is disclosed. A plurality of fibers is obtained by: preparing a slurry of polymer mixed with water insoluble nanoparticles of electrolytic copper, and extruding the slurry through a spinneret that includes a plurality of holes which impart a generally “X”-shaped cross-section to the plurality of fibers. The plurality of fibers are spun together to form the yarn.

An improved structure of breathable opaque fabric with thick and thin feeling is a fabric composed of warp yarns and weft yarns, which is formed by the reciprocal arrangement of different composite processing yarns and the weft density strip number variation in sequence, wherein the warp yarns and weft yarns are alternately arranged and combined by warp composite processing yarns and weft composite processing yarns of two or more different fibers, and the warp composite processing yarn and the weft composite processing yarn are arranged and combined by two or more composite processing yarns of different linear density ratios; the composite processing yarns with different linear density ratios are sequentially arranged in different density way to make it breathable, cool, heat-resistant, UV-resistant, shorter process and lower cost.

A wrappable, woven sleeve includes a wall having opposite edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends, with the opposite edges being wrappable into overlapping relation to bound a central cavity. The wall has a plurality of layers extending from one edge to the opposite edge and from one end to the opposite end in overlying relation with one another. Each of the layers include warp yarns and fill yarns woven together. The wrapped wall has a radially outermost layer and a radially innermost layer. The radially outermost layer has at least one of a first tightness and/or first width and the radially innermost layer has at least one of a second tightness and/or second width, with the first tightness and first width being greater than the second tightness and second width.

Disclosed is an electrically conductive and elastic textile band capable of transmitting an electrical signal by interconnecting wearable smart devices. The textile band can precisely transmit an electrical signal without distortion because there is almost no change in resistance according to extension although the textile band is extended in one direction.

A fabric includes one or more yarns. Each of the one or more yarns include a plurality of filaments. Each of the filaments has an average diameter in a range of 20-50 m such that the fabric has an infrared radiation transmittance at a wavelength of 9.5 m of at least 37%.

Provided is a high-density medical fabric that can be suitably used as a graft for a branched stent graft, can accommodate diameter changes, has the burst strength required of a material to be implanted in a body, and has a seamless tubular shape that can narrow in diameter.

A loom capable of weaving an ultra-high density textile includes: multiple heddles which make some warps of multiple warps separated from other warps; a weft guiding portion making wefts pass through an opening; a reed pressing the wefts passing through the opening towards a fell so as to form a textile; a feeding roller which feeds the warps to the heddles at a position that deviates and staggers from an imaginary plane passing through the center of the moving range of the heddles and the fell; a delivery loom beam delivering the warps to the feeding roller; and a textile winding loom beam winding the textile, when the heddles is at the center, the tension of the warps being set as 0.32 cN/dTex or more and 0.38 cN/dTex or less.

A laser is used to form openings within a graft material to selectively enhance permeability of a prosthesis for tissue integration therein. A feature of utilizing a laser to create the openings for tissue integration builds from its tunability. More particularly, the laser precisely places openings in any pattern and location, and on any textile that forms the graft material. Further, the power and focus of the laser is precisely adjusted to control the diameter and shape of the openings. All parameters of the openings can be controlled at will, allowing for the opportunity to selectively enhance and optimize the permeability of the graft material in a vessel.
