A fibrous structure includes a main plate and a sub-plate. The main plate, which is formed by a multi-layer textile, includes a plurality of stacked fiber layers. Each fiber layer includes main plate warps and main plate wefts. The sub-plate, which is formed by a multi-layer textile, includes a plurality of stacked fiber layers. Each fiber layer includes sub-plate warps and sub-plate wefts. The main plate and the sub-plate are integrally woven with each other in a state intersecting each other. The main plate wefts and the sub-plate wefts have a smaller volume density at an intersecting portion where the main plate and the sub-plate intersect than a portion separate from the intersecting portion.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a medical product with a biodegradable portion. The biodegradable portion is made of a biodegradable material and the biodegradable portion degrades faster than the remaining portion of the medical product.

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of turf reinforcement mats that include spun yarns and/or multifilament yarns in either or both of the warp and weft directions.

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of woven filtration fabrics that include core-sheath spun yarns in either or both of the warp and weft directions.

A knitted sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof are provided. The sleeve includes an elongate, knitted wall having a circumferentially continuous, tubular outer periphery extending along a central axis between opposite open ends. The wall includes knitted shrinkable yarn and knitted non-shrinkable yarn. The shrinkable yarn provides the wall with an ability to be radially constricted from a first, diametrically enlarged state to a second, diametrically shrunken state, wherein said shrinkable yarn and said non-shrinkable yarn are knit in alternating groups of courses with one another.

A textile sleeve for routing and protecting a plurality of elongate members in spaced relation from one another is provided. The sleeve includes a single piece, monolithic wall of interlaced yarn extending lengthwise between opposite ends of the sleeve. The wall includes a plurality of circumferentially continuous, tubular wall sections extending lengthwise between the opposite ends, with adjacent tubular wall sections being fixed in laterally spaced relation from another by an intervening single layer section. At least some of the yarn within each tubular wall section is provided as heat-shrinkable yarn, thereby providing each tubular wall section as being heat-shrinkable from a first, diametrically enlarged assembly state to a second, diametrically constricted state about a corresponding elongate member contained therein.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a medical product with a biodegradable portion. The biodegradable portion is made of a biodegradable material and the biodegradable portion degrades faster than the remaining portion of the medical product.

A protective textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members against impact and method of constructed thereof are provided. The sleeve includes a plurality of yarns interlaced with one another, with the interlaced yarns forming an elongate, circumferentially continuous, tubular wall extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between opposite open ends. At least some of the plurality of yarns include tubular yarn having a central cavity extending along the length of the tubular yarn, thereby providing an impact resistant, dual layered wall to the tubular yarn. The sleeve can be constructed in a weaving, braiding or knitting process, wherein the tubular yarn can be interlaced as a woven yarn, braided yarn, or knit yarn, and further, the tubular yarn can be interlaced as an inserted yarn.

Woven fabric, particularly a warp faced tabric, such as a denim fabric, comprising a front and a back, a plurality of picks extending in weft direction and a plurality of warp yams extending in warp direction and bypassing picks at their front side to define over portions and bypassing picks at their back side to define under portions, wherein said plurality of warp yams com prise frontside warp yams and backside warp yarns, and the under portions of the backside warp yams bypass more picks than the under portions of the frontside warp yams.

An illustrative example method of making an elongated load bearing member includes providing a plurality of tension elements. A plurality of weave fibers are woven together with the tension elements to thereby establish a weave. A traction surface is established on at least one side of the load bearing member. The traction surface is defined by the weave fibers. Coating the weave fibers with a compressible coating provides an exterior surface texture defined at least in part by the weave fibers.
