Abstract:
A variety of embodiments are disclosed, in both apparatus and method form, that relate to the use of fabric material in the manufacture of an air bag deployment system. In addition, fabric weakening is disclosed according to a technique that does not result in physical alteration of the fabric. This invention therefore includes an air bag cover for an air bag safety system for a vehicle comprising a fabric outer layer having a frontside and a backside and a substrate containing an opening wherein the opening has a periphery. The substrate is preferably formed by low pressure molding, wherein the fabric outer layer overlies the opening in the substrate, and wherein the fabric outer layer is weakened at a location that is adjacent or overlies the substrate opening periphery.

Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft das neue Gebiet der "wearable electronics" insbesondere ein in eine Faser integriertes elektronisches Bauteil, ein Gewebe für ein Textil mit zumindest einer Faser mit integriertem elektronischem Bauteil, ein Herstellungsverfahren und Verwendungen dazu. Durch die Erfindung wird erstmals textiles Gewebe vorgestellt, in dem elektronische Bauteile in den Fasern des Gewebes selbst integriert sind. Die Fasern werden dabei als leitende oder isolierende Elemente der Bauteile genutzt.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of copolymerizing polyethylene glycol and branching agent into polyethylene terephthalate to achieve a polyethylene glycol-modified polyester composition that can be spun into filaments. Fabrics made from fibers formed from the copolyester composition possess wicking, dyeability, and tactility properties that are superior to those of fabrics formed from conventional polyethylene terephthalate fibers of the same yarn and fabric construction. Also disclosed are polyethylene glycol modified copolyester compositions, fibers, yarns, and fabrics.
