| 20120118427 | ELECTRONIC TEXTILE, ARTICLE AND METHOD - A woven article having plural weave layers comprises a plurality of electrically insulating and/or electrically conductive yarn in the warp and a plurality of electrically insulating and/or electrically conductive yarn in the weft interwoven with the yarn in the warp. An electrical function is provided by one or more circuit carriers disposed in cavities in the plural layer woven article and/or one or more functional yarn in the warp and/or the weft, wherein the circuit carrier and/or functional yarn include an electrical contact for connecting to the electrically conductive yarn in the warp and/or weft. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20110236448 | Methods and Apparatus for Passive Reduction of Nosocomial Infections in Clinical Settings, and Fabrics, Yarns, and Filaments for Use in Connection Therewith - A method for passively reducing nosocomial infections by providing fabrics for patient contact only as media for air filtration in areas with patient populations, which fabrics have been treated with a solution of eugenol of sufficient strength and for sufficient time to reduce the percentage of viable microbes in the fabrics by at least 2 log units. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110229542 | METHODS FOR IMPARTING ANTI-MICROBIAL, MICROBICIDAL PROPERTIES TO FABRICS, YARNS AND FILAMENTS, AND FABRICS, YARNS AND FILAMENTS EMBODYING SUCH PROPERTIES - An antimicrobial fabric and method for treating fabric to impart antimicrobial properties thereto by preparing an aqueous solution of eugenol, polyvinyl alcohol, and glyoxal, padding the fabric with the aqueous solution to achieve a preselected desired part by weight wet pickup, drying the fabric; and curing the fabric. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110201265 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COMBATING SICK BUILDING SYNDROME - Methods and apparatus for combating sick building syndrome include a plenum that is at least partially bounded by fabric comprising at least one naturally occurring botanically based, antimicrobial, morbidity-inducing fabric and preferably a fan for introducing air into the plenum for passage outwardly through the fabric thereby to cleanse the air of microbes contributing to sick building syndrome. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20090194231 | VANDALISM-RESISTANT INSULATING PANELS FOR BUILDING EXTERIORS AND BUILDING HAVING VANDALISM-RESISTANT THERMALLY INSULATIVE WALLS - A fire retardant thermally insulative, vandalism and damage resistant panel for the building exteriors includes a relatively low density foam layer having relatively high thermal resistivity, a relatively high density foam layer having relatively high impact strength and resistance to bending facingly contacting the low density foam layer, a porous fabric contacting the high density foam layer at a surface thereof facing oppositely from the low density foam, and a weather resistant, water impermeable exterior layer contacting the fabric at a surface facing in a direction opposite from where the high density foam contacts the fabric, where the high density foam substantially occupies at least parts of some of the pores of the fabric and the exterior layer material substantially occupies at least parts of at least some of the pores of the fabric such that sufficient pores of the fabric are filled with the high density foam, the exterior surface material and chemical reaction products thereof to create a bond between the exterior surface material and the high density foam. | 08-06-2009 |
