A knitted spacer fabric has a tightly knitted bottom layer, a more loosely knitted upper layer and linking fibres extending across the space between the lower and upper faces. Settable material, e.g. cement, is introduced into the space between the upper and lower faces and can be caused to set by the addition of a liquid, e.g. water. Until set, the fabric is flexible and can be shaped but after the material in space has set, the fabric is rigid and can be used as a structural element in a wide range of situations. The bottom layer has an extension that extends beyond the upper face and is connected to the upper face by elastic connecting fibres that draw the extension towards the other face, thereby at least partly closing the space at the edge of the cloth and preventing the settable material from spilling out. In addition, the packing of the settable material and maximum space between the faces are such that only a predetermined amount of liquid can be accommodated within the space and that amount is matched to the water required to set the cement.

A method for infusing an aromatic essential oil into a face covering so as to provide a prolonged olfactory benefit to the wearer of the face covering. The method of the present invention includes utilization of specific unit volumes of an essential oil, a carrier oil and a cyclodextrin wherein the aforementioned are placed into a suitable container that is located in a temperature controlled environment. The ingredients are mixed so as to initiate the emulsification process and as such encapsulation of the oil components occurs. A dry sprayer is utilized to apply a portion of the mixture onto the face covering and immediately thereafter the face covering is placed in a storage container. The carrier oil is maintained at a temperature during introduction into the mixing container. The method of the present invention provides an olfactory release for an extended period of at least 12 hours.

A method for the treatment of a textile substrate is described, in which the substrate is arranged in a treatment device and treated with an aqueous treatment bath. Here the moisture of the textile substrate is adjusted to a predetermined moisture in the beginning of the treatment, whereby the treatment bath volume to be sprayed on the respective subject and per time unit is determined exactly, so that the textile subject provides the defined predetermined moisture at the end of the treatment. The therefore used devices enables the realization of the method for textile substrates designed as a fabric strand, a wide fabric web package and a fabric package.

Provided is a method for controlling a fan (1) which includes a control unit (2), wherein the control method includes at least the following steps: the selection of an operating program (22) of the fan (1) from among a plurality of operating programs pre-recorded in the control unit (2), the operating programs including at least first and second fan control data; and the sending, by the control unit (2), of a control signal including at least the first control data for controlling a motor, which are correlated with at least the second control data for controlling at least one secondary device (24) of the fan (1) selected from among: a lighting device; a gas or liquid spraying device; an acoustic device; and a video device.

The invention provides a method for fabricating a spacer fabric composite, coating machine and composite fabricated by method thereof. The method comprises providing a resin composition, coating step and a hole opening step.

The present invention provides a production process characterized in that a false twisting process is added between a spinning process and a winding process so that yarn slivers undergo excessive pre-torsion in an axial direction and twists which are same in quantity but different in twisting direction are generated on the yarn slivers. Absorption of glucose-containing sulfur dyestuff is performed in a dyeing process. An ammonia removal process is performed in a high-temperature and high-pressure tank so that residual ammonia in a fabric is evaporated. The evaporated ammonia is collected and then fed back to a mercerizing process for continuous use. The present invention also provides a production line including a spinning unit having a false twisting device, a dyeing unit configured to realize the dyeing process, and a liquid ammonia finishing unit consisting of a fabric mercerizing device, an ammonia removal device, an ammonia recycling device and a controller.

A textile may have a cooling material which may contain a phase change material or other suitable materials or combinations thereof to be applied thereto. Such a material will thereby resisting an increase in temperature during use. The textile may be fashioned into a variety of objects including but not limited to pillows, mattresses, mattress toppers, etc. Further contained herein are methods of applying the cooling material and methods of making objects containing the cooling material.

An apparatus and method of manufacturing the apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a first transducer (107) and a first tank. The first transducer (107) is adapted to transmit ultrasonic waves of a first wavelength into the first tank (101). The first tank (101) is configured to establish a substantially standing ultrasonic wave pattern of the ultrasonic waves inside the first tank (101). A disposer (109.1, 109.2) adapted to dispose a textile (131) into the first tank (101) is provided. The disposer (109.1, 109.2) disposes the textile (131) into the first tank at a first distance from the first transducer (107). The first distance is determined based the first wavelength.
