In this chapter we focus on image segmentation techniques for some very special images — textile images. They are generated from the color halftoning technique in textile and printing production lines. In contrast with natural color images, textile images have some very distinctive features: (1) generally there are a few dominant colors in a textile image, whereas there may exist hundreds of si...

Results Seven of the 41 patients had positive reactions to textile related allergens on the screening or textile series and five were thought to be work-related. Four patients who were patch test positive with the textile series were also positive to relevant allergens on the screening series. Two patients with work-related textile dermatitis were patch test positive to the textile series but n...

Today, in many textile firms, high defect rates and inefficiency stand out due to the intensive labor production processes. For this reason, be able detect failure modes effects, number of defects fast intervene process just time is vital for firms. Accelerating feedback by producing accurate effective quality reports helping senior management's decision processes will reduce appraisal costs de...

The smart textile and wearables sector is looking towards advancing technologies to meet both industry, consumer new emerging innovative application demands, within a fast paced industry. In parallel, inspiration based on the biological neural workings of human brain driving next generation Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI inspired hardware (neuromorphic computing) software modules mimicking pr...

Background: As a new intraoperative disinfection method, chlorhexidine-wetted textile napkins have been employed in order to cover the upper and lower eyelid edges, eyelid skin, eyelashes, lid margins and palpebral conjunctiva during phacoemulsification cataract extraction. This study was conducted to compare the antimicrobial activity of textile napkins before and after their use. Methods: Thi...

Highly flexible and electrically-conductive multifunctional textiles are desirable for use in wearable electronic applications. In this study, we fabricated multifunctional textile composites by vacuum filtration and wet-transfer of graphene oxide films on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) textile in association with embedding Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) to improve the electrical conduct...

On January 1, 2005, quotas on textile and clothing trade were lifted. With this, US and EU pricecompetitive clothing imports from China soared. Recent talk of quota safeguards notwithstanding, this has development implications for other, relatively uncompetitive, countries—especially those heavily reliant on textile and clothing exports. This study examines the effect that China will have on th...
