Anti Soil Finish for Textiles

Chitosans for Permanent Antimicrobial Finish on Textiles

Surface chemistry and structure determines most uses of textiles (adhesion, skin contact, handle ...) whereas the fibre core has to give strength. Thus, new strategies have to be developed for imparting permanent functionality to textile surfaces. This aim can be reached by using e.g. biocompatible polymers like carrageenans, chitosans from the carbohydrate family or some of their derivatives f...

Ettachments for e-Textiles

The integration of wires and electronics in e-textiles has many potential applications for wearable computing. One method which allows dense electronics modules on an e-textile is to create attachments composed of conventional electronics devices on a PCB. These attachments can use a variety of methods to connect to wires in an e-textile. This design allows for etextile electronics modules whic...

Colorimetric Scanner Calibration for Textiles by Neural-Network

In this study, colorimetric calibration of scanner has been done via perceptron neural network with three or four layers by back propagation algorithm for colored polyester fabrics. The results obtained for random training samples are not satisfactory but application of selective training samples for L*a*b* or RGB leads to good results, with better results obtained for the L*a*b* method. On the...

Start Finish

Many real-world planning problems require generating plans that maximize the parallelism inherent in a problem. There are a number of partial-order planners that generate such plans; however, in most of these planners it is unclear under what conditions the resulting plans will be correct and whether the planner can even nd a plan if one exists. This paper identiies the underlying assumptions a...
