Disputes over whether the Scientific Revolution contributed to Industrial begin with common assumption that natural philosophers and artisans formed distinct groups. In reality, these groups merged together through a diverse group of applied mathematics teachers, textbook writers, instrument makers catering market ranging from navigators surveyors bookkeepers. Besides its direct economic contri...

I propose to consider the question, “Can machines think?” This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms “machine” and “think.” The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words“machine”and “think” are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to e...

This paper deals with inspection of highly reflective chrome coated rings used in textile machinery using machine vision. These rings are mass produced in very large numbers in a textile machinery manufacturing company and the inspection was carried out manually using optical methods. Introduction of automated vision inspection had not helped the industry fully to achieve 100% quality inspectio...

3D textile model plays an important role in textile engineering. However, not much work focus on high-quality 3D textile reconstruction. The texture is also limited by photography methods in 3D scanning. This paper presents a novel framework of reconstructing a high-quality 3D textile model with a synthesized texture. Firstly, a pipeline of 3D textile processing is proposed to obtain a better 3...

The use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. The present status of nanotechnology use in textiles is reviewed, with an emphasis on improving various properties of textiles.
