A transport or drive belt includes: warp threads extending in a longitudinal direction; and weft threads extending between side edges. The weft threads and the warp threads cross each other at least sectionally with a positive inclination or a negative inclination deviating from a right angle. The weft threads follow a wavy course.

The present embodiments provide a woven element having a first plurality of warp threads extending in a first direction and integrated into a first surface on a front side of the woven element. The woven element may have a second plurality of warp threads extending in the first direction, where the second plurality of warp threads is integrated into a second surface on a back side of the woven element. A first weft thread may extend in a second direction, where a first portion of the first weft thread is positioned in front of at least one warp thread of the first plurality of warp threads to form at least a portion of a graphic image on the front surface. A second portion of the first weft thread may extend between the first plurality of warp threads and the second plurality of warp threads.

The present subject matter discloses a fabric weaving method and apparatus therefor, wherein the method includes forming a fabric where the warp ends of the fabric is made of multifilament polyester yarns and the weft picks are made of cotton or regenerated cellulose fiber or linen fiber or a combination thereof. The woven textile fabric has 50-89 EPI of multifilament polyester yarns of denier within a range of 75D-200D with 7-250 filaments in each polyester yarn, wherein one or more yarns per dent is setup in the reed apparatus of the warp of the loom apparatus. Further, the woven textile fabric comprises of 50-91 picks per inch of cotton or regenerated cellulose fibre or linen fiber or a combination thereof and of 20-50 count (NE). Furthermore, the total cover factor of the woven textile fabric is 10-38, wherein the warp cover factor is 8-19 and the weft cover factor is 10-19.

A reed (16) including multiple slats (20), which are arranged in a transverse direction (Q) at a distance from one another is disclosed. Each slat (20) extends from an upper end (21) to a lower end (22). The upper ends (21) are connected by an adhesive bond to two upper plate parts (32) of an upper holding shaft (23). The lower ends (22) of the slats (20) are connected by an adhesive bond to two lower plate parts (43) of a lower holding shaft (24). The plate parts (32, 43) are each produced from a fiber-reinforced composite material. The entire upper holding shaft (23) and the entire lower holding shaft (24) preferably are made of parts produced from a fiber-reinforced composite material.

A tubular woven implantable graft having a tapered section is provided. The graft includes a first diameter and a second diameter and has a generally constant number of warp yarns per inch adjacent both the first diameter and the second diameter. A method for producing an implantable woven graft is also provided. The method includes weaving a first section having a first diameter and a tapered diameter tapering from the first diameter to a second diameter. During weaving of the tapered section a number of warp yarns are dropped from the weave and compressive forces are applied to the fabric to narrow the width of the fabric.
