Broken ends, missing picks, oil stain and holes are the most common fabric defects. To deal with the situation that manual fabric detection will affected by the subjective factors of inspectors, an automatic computer vision based fabric defect detection method is introduced in this paper. The system uses threshold segmentation method to identify if there are any defects existed in the fabric, a...

The goal of our research works is to build a software for fabric modeling. Our research team wants to simulate any fabric deformations due to mechanic stresses. This paper deals with our solutions to speed up calculus convergence of fabric model simulation. These solutions are based on clever propagation algorithm, multi sampling and displacement prediction. Into bibliography, there is several ...

Conventional loose-weave cotton operating garments were compared with clothing of a non-woven fabric to test their efficacy in reducing the dispersal of skin bacteria into theatre air. When men wore operating suits made of the non-woven fabric dispersal of skin bacteria was reduced by 72%. When all the operating-theatre staff wore suits and dresses of this fabric air bacterial counts during ope...

Preferred orientation in granitic mylonites from the Santa Rosa mylonite zone in Southern California is investigated with time-of-flight neutron diffraction. Quartz and biotite display strong preferred orientation, whereas, feldspar alignment is weak. For quartz, a c-axis maximum in the intermediate fabric direction is consistent with dynamic recrystallization. Pole figures for positive and neg...

Given the set of square matrices M ⊂ Mn+m(C) that keep the subspace W = Cnx{0} ⊂ C invariant, we obtain the implicit form of a miniversal deformation of a matrix a ∈ M, and we compute it explicitely when this matrix is marked (this is, if there is a permutation matrix p ∈ Mn+m(C) such that p−1ap is a Jordan matrix). We derive some applications to tackle the classical Carlson problem.

Performance of applications with computationally intensive kernels can be improved by a general-purpose processor used together with application-specific hardware accelerators. To accelerate a wide range of applications with different kernels, a runtime reconfigurable fabric (such as an embedded FPGA) is used. Each application can deploy its own accelerators onto the fabric in order to improve ...

Poly (lactic) acid (PLA) composites have made their way into various applications that may require thermoforming to produce 3D shapes. Wrinkles are common in many forming processes and identification of the forming parameters to prevent them in the useful part of the mechanical component is a key consideration. Better prediction of such defects helps to significantly reduce the time required fo...

Monitoring body kinematics has fundamental relevance in several biological and technical disciplines. In particular the possibility to know the posture exactly may furnish a main aid in rehabilitation topics. This paper deals with the design, the development and the realization of sensing garments, from the characterization of innovative comfortable and spreadable sensors to the methodologies e...
