Textile structures realised by Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques have received increasing attention during the previous decade. Due to their potential to significantly improve upon both the geometric complexity and functionality available from conventional fibre-based textiles, AM textiles present a serious opportunity to design and develop novel solutions for conventional and high-perform...

Highly durable, flexible, and even washable multilayer electronic circuitry can be constructed on textile substrates, using conductive yarns and suitably packaged components. In this paper we describe the development of e-broidery (electronic embroidery, i.e., the patterning of conductive textiles by numerically controlled sewing or weaving processes) as a means of creating computationally acti...

It is well known that some XML elements correspond to objects (in the sense of object-orientation) and others do not. The question we consider in this paper is what benefits we can derive from paying attention to such object semantics, particularly for the problem of keyword queries. Keyword queries against XML data have been studied extensively in recent years, with several lowest-common-ances...

Archaeological textiles are often highly fragmented, and solving a puzzle is needed to recover the original composition respective motifs. The lack of ground truth unknown number artworks that fragments come from complicate this process. We clustered RGB images Viking Age Oseberg Tapestry based on their texture features. Classical descriptors as well modern deep learning were used construct fea...

Various companies are industrializing ‘photonic’ textiles for medical and architectural applications. Here we report reliability testing of photonic textiles based on woven textiles with integrated copper-based conductive yarns used to drive attached LEDs. These textiles were subjected to cyclic mechanical stress tests and the cycle life was analyzed in terms of fatigue. Results show that failu...

In this project we present the state of question regarding archaeological remains textiles in Iberian Peninsula between 1st and 3rd century AC. The are material vestiges undeniable complexity a magnificent source for investigating social identity. However, long time, its ephemeral nature has made them an unexplored research path during Roman times. Thanks to development analytical methodology c...
