Woven textile and associated method of manufacture
There is provided a method of manufacturing a woven textile, in which a plurality of warp yarns is interlaced with a plurality of weft yarns. A selvedge is formed by interlacing a first subset of the warp yarns with a first subset of the weft yarns and interlacing a second subset of the warp yarns with a second subset of the weft yarns. The first subset of the warp yarns is not interlaced with the second subset of the weft yarns and the second subset of the warp yarns is not interlaced with the first subset of the weft yarns. The method may be used to manufacture a multilayer textile.
Woven multi-layer fabrics and methods of fabricating same
A multi-layer ballistic woven fabric, including an upper woven layer having upper warp yarns and upper weft yarns that are interwoven together to form the upper woven layer. The multi-layer ballistic woven fabric also includes a lower woven layer having lower warp yarns and lower weft yarns that are interwoven together, and a plurality of securing yarns, each securing yarn interwoven with at least some of the upper yarns and some of the lower yarns so as to secure the upper and lower woven layers together. At least one of the securing yarns is woven underneath a first lower weft yarn, then above a second upper weft yarn adjacent the first lower weft yarn, then underneath a third lower weft yarn adjacent the second upper weft yarn and then above a fourth upper weft yarn adjacent the third lower weft yarn. The multi-layer ballistic woven fabric is formed by interweaving the securing yarns with the warp yarns and weft yarns as the upper woven layer and lower woven layer are made.

FLEXIBLE MAGNETIC FILM FABRIC
To provide an electromagnetic shielding material that has excellent shape following properties and can exhibit high electromagnetic wave shielding properties even in a deformed portion. A flexible magnetic film fabric (100) of one embodiment includes a plurality of first magnetic strips (10) extending in a first direction (11) and arranged substantially in parallel at a first pitch P1 along a second direction (12) orthogonal to the first direction (11); and a plurality of second magnetic strips (20) extending in a third direction (21) different from the first direction (11) and arranged substantially in parallel at a second pitch P2 along a fourth direction (22) orthogonal to the third direction (21). Each of the first magnetic strips (10) has a first average width W1, W1/P1 being from 0.05 to 0.98, and each of the second magnetic strips (20) has a second average width W2, W2/P2 being from 0.05 to 0.98.

LIGHT SHIELDING NET
The present invention relates to a light shielding net, which can improve productivity by facilitating a weaving process, can be wound by a winding device due to a high winding strength, and can express various colors, thereby adjusting a light shielding amount and improving a design aesthetic sense. To this end, a warp yarn is made of a PE monofilament, the weft yarn is made of a PE film, and the two warp yarns are repeatedly woven in a Leno weave form surrounding each weft yarn.

Woven footwear upper with integrated tensile strands
Aspects hereof relate to a footwear upper formed from a plurality of tensile strands interwoven with a webbing material. The upper may have a bootie configuration. At least a portion of the strands may extend between a lateral-side portion of the upper and a medial-side portion of the upper and extend over an instep region and/or a sole region of the upper. The tensile strands may be bundled such that a plurality of strands forms a single weft or warp. Bundles having differing quantities of tensile strands may form a pattern on the upper that is effective for aiding conformance of the upper to a wearer's foot while enhancing ventilation and reducing water saturation. The tensile strands, whether singular or bundled, may be effective for transferring a load of a fastening mechanism through the woven upper while allowing the upper to have a desired degree of elasticity, support and/or comfort.
