A garment production system, comprising a virtual development environment configured to receive and store in a database thereof body information relating to a user, establish measurements for the user based on the body information, display, on a display device connected to the virtual development environment, a virtual representation of the user using the established measurements, customize one or more garments for the user based on the established measurements, display, on the display device, a virtual representation of the one or more customized garments on the virtual representation of the user, receive and store in the database personalization information from the user regarding the one or more customized garments, and alter the one or more customized garments and the virtual representation thereof based on the received personalization information for manufacture thereof.

A medium feeding apparatus includes a feeding roller which feeds a printing medium, a roll holding portion which holds a roll body around which the printing medium is wound, an intermediate roller which pulls out the printing medium from the roll body and feeds the printing medium to the feeding roller, and a controller which synchronizes and controls driving of the feeding roller and the intermediate roller, in which the controller sets a target value in a driving control of the intermediate roller to be greater than a target value in a driving control of the feeding roller, so that tension is not applied to the printing medium between the feeding roller and the intermediate roller, when the feeding roller and the intermediate roller feed the printing medium.

A medium feeding apparatus includes a feeding portion that performs a feeding operation, which feeds a medium to a downstream side, and a reverse feeding operation, which feeds the medium to an upstream side, and a wind-up portion that performs a wind-up operation, which winds up a medium fed to the downstream side by the feeding operation, and a unwinding operation that unwinds the wound up medium, in which the wind-up portion performs the unwinding operation prior to the reverse feeding operation.

A window manufacturing method includes providing a first adhesive on a dummy substrate, providing a first mother substrate on the first adhesive, disposing a first portion of an interleaving paper on a surface of a suction stage disposed on the first mother substrate, the surface of the suction stage facing the first mother substrate, and pressing the suction stage toward the first mother substrate to attach the first mother substrate to the dummy substrate.

A sheet interleaver is provided for a slicing machine that includes a slicing plane for slicing an elongated food product and a sheet of web material beneath the elongated product. The interleaver includes a supply of web material, a drawing station, and a feed station. A tensioning station is disposed between the supply of web material and the drawing station to maintain the tension of the web material at a pre-determined tension. A web accumulation station is between the drawing station and the feed station to provide a slackened length of web material within an acceptable range of slack between the drawing station and the feed station. The supply of web material is disposed on a spool which rotates about a cylindrical shaft. The cylindrical shaft has a braking mechanism which protrudes from the shaft to generate a frictional force against the spool.

A flexible material transport system for fabric and a system for continuous fabric workflow is presented. The flexible material transport system comprises a printing machine, a material web transporter connected to the printing machine, a material accumulator connected to the material web transporter, and a cutting machine connected to the material accumulator, wherein the material accumulator is configured to feed printed fabric from the material web transporter into the cutting machine, and wherein the material web transporter comprises a plurality of rollers configured to control movement of the fabric from the printing machine to the material accumulator and onto the cutting machine. The system can also comprise a heater and/or an image scanner. The system for continuous fabric workflow comprises two or more of the flexible material transport systems. Information regarding the fabric can be tracked for local or centralized reporting and additional data processing.
