The increasing demand for technical textiles makes innovations and acceleration of processes necessary. This research paper presents an innovative knitting technology. technology, which was funded by the European Regional Development Fund as R&D-project (EFRE-0400310), reduces production time creates completely novel structures. introduces validation process technology therefore brings theo...

In this study, an embedded machine vision system using Gabor filters and Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is developed to identify defects of warp-knitted fabrics automatically. The system consists of smart cameras and a Human Machine Interface (HMI) controller. A hybrid detection algorithm combing Gabor filters and PCNN is running on the SOC processor of the smart camera. First, Gabor filte...

This article provides a knitting method for warp-knitted fabrics with good moisture management performance. By adjusting of the warp machine (mainly bar), design lay-up yarn, selection and let-off tension, yarn covering relationship has been adjusted. using two kinds fineness polyester DTY, cotton spandex, designing warp-knitting structures, six different have knitted. The performance these kni...

Abstract Circular economy (CE) discourse primarily focuses on business-as-usual and resource-related economic processes whilst overlooking relational-spatial aspects, especially networking for local development. There are, however, many mission-driven social enterprises (SEs) engaging in short-loop activities at the neighbourhood city scales (e.g., reuse, upcycling, refurbishing or repair). Suc...

We analyze the connections between the mathematical theory of knots and quantum physics by addressing a number of algorithmic questions related to both knots and braid groups. Knots can be distinguished by means of ‘knot invariants’, among which the Jones polynomial plays a prominent role, since it can be associated with observables in topological quantum field theory. Although the problem of c...

Petri net (PN) synthesis can avoid the state exploration problem, which is of exponential complexity, by guaranteeing the correctness in the Petri net while incrementally expanding the net. The conventional Petri net synthesis approaches, in general, suffer the drawback of only being able to synthesize a few classes of nets. However, the knitting technique, originally proposed by Chao [1-4], ca...
