AN endovascular stent graft including a hydrogel capable of retarded swelling when coming into contact with blood upon implantation in a patient is provided. Methods for the treatment of aneurysms and the prevention of ischemic neurological damage, in particular spinal cord damage, in patients receiving aneurysm repair procedures, using said endovascular stent grafts is also provided.

A method of manufacturing an article of footwear includes providing a textile and applying heat and/or pressure to the textile using a texturing device to form a textured area of the textile. The textured area is spaced apart from a substantially smooth area of the textile. The method further includes forming at least part of an upper from the textile after applying the heat and/or pressure to the textile. The upper includes a cavity configured to receive a foot. The substantially smooth area is configured to define a reference boundary of the upper. The substantially smooth area and the textured area are each configured to be disposed at predetermined regions of the upper. Furthermore, forming the textured area includes forming a plurality of projection structures that project outward from the reference boundary at varying distances.

A spacer textile material may include a first layer, a second layer, and a plurality of connecting members extending between and joining the first layer and the second layer. The connecting members may form a series of at least ten rows that are separated by spaces. The rows have a width that is less than a width of the spaces, and the connecting members form at least one stabilizing row with a width that is greater than the width of the spaces.

A three-dimensional, 3D, knitted fabric is knitted by a double-bed weft-knitting machine. The knitted fabric comprises a top layer, a bottom layer, and an intermediate layer, wherein the top layer and the bottom layer are joined together by cross-yarns constituting the intermediate layer, and wherein at least the top layer comprises two-folded cut-resistant yarns.

In summary, the invention is directed to a strap for tensioning a vehicle side curtain, the strap comprising: a strap body having a plurality of warp yarns and a weft yarn, the weft yarn being interleaved with each of the plurality of warp yarns, wherein the warp yarns are tensioned in a substantially straight configuration; and a coating to retain the warp yarns in their straight configuration.

A fabric has a unitary one-piece construction and includes a base layer and a first covering layer covering a first surface of the base layer. The base layer is formed by assembling at least a first yarn. The first covering layer is simultaneously formed with the base layer by assembling at least a second yarn when assembling the first yarn. The second yarn includes thermoplastic polymer.

A knitted textile includes a textile electrode region, a conductive trace region that terminates in a knitted extension, conductive material, located at an intersection of an ablated area and the textile electrode region, configured to provide an electrical connection between the conductive trace region and the textile electrode region, sealing film, placed around the conductive material, configured to protect the conductive material and seal the conductive material from one or more textile layers that surround the electrical connection, and an outer sealing patch surrounding the textile electrode region and configured to provide a moisture barrier between the textile electrode region and the one or more surrounding textile layers. The conductive trace region includes one or more electrical conductors twisted with an insulator. The knitted extension is configured to overlay a portion of the textile electrode region and includes the ablated area where the insulator has been removed.

The present invention relates to a composite material comprising a warp-knitted textile panel having wales corresponding to the warp direction and courses corresponding to the weft direction, and first and second opposite faces, said first face being covered with a layer of at least one polymer material. Advantageously, each of said wales includes first stitches formed on every other course with a first yarn, and second stitches formed on every other course with a second yarn, the first and second stitches being alternated on every other course and being in opposite directions. In addition, in the weft direction, the first yarn and the second yarn each form stitches on every other course in alternation.
