Compact or condensed spinning technology is widely considered as the new benchmark for staple yarn quality. The enhanced structure of compact yarn typically results in a lower hairiness and improved mechanical properties. ...

Spinning experiments were conducted to study the impacts on fiber processing of alternative types of honeydew contamination and confirm the hypothesis that trehalulose (mostly present in whitefly honeydew) is the main ...

In this research, we validate an imaging system for automatic grading of fabric smoothness, developed at Texas Tech University. This system consists of a sheet-of-light, laser-line projector; a smart CMOS camera; a moving ...
