And the heat map which can present the duration of fixation in the areas of interest was analyzed. The results showed that the total duration of fixation and the fixation counts of participants in different areas of interest were significantly different. and the degree of attention paid to the clothing parts of the women blouse was the bust, shoulder, waist and sleeve when evaluating clothing comfort with different fit criteria. This paper has scientific reference significance for improving the method of pattern making and women blouse comfort.

A Versatile End-Effector for Pick-and-Release of Fabric Parts

A novel robotic end-effector is introduced for pick-and-release of several fabric parts used for producing underwear. One of the main operations in a factory for sewing cloth products is to pick up fabric parts, provide them to a sewing machine, and sew them together. In the case of underwear, thin cotton cloth is the target of manipulation. Since such cloth parts are placed in a stacked state, they tend to stick to each other, and a certain skill or technical acuity is required for picking up actions. Therefore, this work is typically mostly done manually at present. One purpose of this study is to automate such manipulation, so a mechanism is introduced to pick up only the top piece of cotton fabric from a stack. An essential part of the mechanism is an attached cylindrical brush with a removal cloth on its surface. The cylindrical brush is placed on the cotton fabric and is then rotated to roll up only the top piece of cotton fabric. This mechanism makes it possible to release the fabric by rotating the brush in the reverse direction. In addition, two sets of the cylindrical brushes are installed to face each other to enable pinching. This mechanism enables pick-and-release for various cloth parts, such as woven rubber pieces and piped cloth hems. Finally, a composite end-effector equipping these gripping functions is manufactured, and evaluation experiments are conducted using actual fabric parts.

Improvement and application of the three-dimensional ecological footprint model

The ecological footprint (EF) is an important tool for assessing ecological resource occupancy. The three-dimensional (3D) EF changes the EF from a plane to a column, and the bottom (EFsize) represents the human appropriation of the annual natural resource flow provided by the earth, while the height (EFdepth) represents the number of years required to regenerate the resources consumed within 1 year. According to the difference in the human demands for the productive functions of land, this paper improves the 3D EF model based on three sub-items, namely, the basic land footprint (including the footprint of cropland, grazing land and fishing grounds), which captures the demands of the physical part of food and clothing; forest land footprint, which captures wood and carbon absorption demands; and the built-up land footprint, which captures production and living space demands. The improved model is a 3D structure with three different heights. The bottom shows human appropriation of annual natural flows of the sub-items, and there is competition between the sub-items. The sub-heights are related to the overshoot of the sub-items. The forest land footprint depth is earlier and deeper than the 3D EF, and the footprint depth of the built-up land and basic land kept the natural depth. Therefore, humans perceive climate change, but their daily survival is not significantly affected. The flow occupancy ratio (orflow) and the accumulated ecological debt depth (EFdepthaccum) are introduced to analyse the closeness to the overshooting state and the years of using existing resources to eliminate historical ecological debt, respectively.

The Origins of Women’s Skirt and Shirt Clothing on the Moravian-Slovak Border and Its Central European Context

Abstract Over the past one hundred years, folk clothing has been considered one of the most significant elements of cultural heritage and has been perceived in this way not only by experts but, for many decades, by its wearers as well. In the present study, the author seeks to find an answer, based on an analysis of older expert texts, as to what formed the theoretical basis for this process, who were its representatives, at what conclusions they arrived, and how the methods of their work were reflected in the formulation of their conclusions. From the historical perspective, the study summarises the opinions on folk clothing, projected through the idea of Slavic unity, as can be observed in the case of Jan Koula and, through the reception of these opinions, also in the case of Lubor Niederle, Drahomíra Stránská and Viera Nosáľová. This work also offers newer reflections from the studies by Alena Jeřábková on the shaping of folk clothing within the Carpathian culture. Through the example of women’s linen skirts, the material part of the study seeks to point out the pitfalls of these approaches and highlight the need to study the construction of folk clothing from a longer historical perspective. Only in this way is the effect of clothing styles in the form of domestication of the individual pieces of stylish clothing evident, combined with older clothing layers. Even though most parts of folk clothing are not proto-Slavic and do not necessarily relate to the culture of the Carpathian curve, as a whole, they prove well the way the countryside managed to accept the transformations of contemporary fashion over the last four centuries and to incorporate them into a unique clothing complex.

ПОЛІПШЕННЯ ТЕХНОЛОГІЧНИХ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК ТРИКОТАЖНОГО ПОЛОТНА ШЛЯХОМ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ НАНОРОЗМІРНИХ ОРГАНОСИЛІКОНОВИХ ПОМ’ЯКШУВАЧІВ

To determine the effect of nanosized organosilicon softeners on the indices of the technological properties of a knitted fabric, to assess the possibility of their improvement through the use of innovative finishing processing. Theoretical and experimental studies are based on the basic principles of textile materials science. In experimental studies, standardized methods and techniques were used, which are reflected in the laboratory by providing softening treatment for knitted fabrics. The sewing process was performed on a Juki DLL-8100e industrial sewing machine. The stitch frequency of the stitches was determined by the registration method. It is determined that the use of nanosized organosilicon softeners significantly affects the performance of the technological properties of a knitted fabric. It was found that the Kolosil nanosized organosilicon softener, which was used by the selection method at a concentration of 4% of the processed material, has a maximum effect on the total deformation and increases the proportion of the slowly inverse deformation component. It is shown that the use of softeners has a positive effect on the stability of the linear dimensions of a knitted fabric. It is proved that the final processing of knitted fabric with innovative nanosized organosilicon softeners can be considered a factor in reducing the technological complexity of garments. The scientific hypothesis has been experimentally confirmed in the use of nanosized organosilicon softeners to improve the indicators of the technological properties of a knitted fabric. It is shown that treatment with nanoscale softeners causes changes in the structure of fibers at the micro level, which are of paramount importance for the formation of technological properties of a knitted fabric. The research results can be used in the development of new materials with improved properties, in the design of clothing parts and in sewing knitted fabrics.

Атрибутивна функція орудного відмінка в говірках Закарпаття (присубстантивна та придієслівна позиції)

The article is devouted to the attributive function of the instrumental case in the dialects of Transcarpathia region. The article clarifies the structural and semantic features of the attributive in the form of the instrumental case in the dialects of the Transcarpathia. The attributives, which are called signs of individual actions, situations of objective reality, are considered. The functional essence of the attributive creative in the adjective and adverbial positions is highlighted. The purpose of this article is to highlight the formal syntactic features and semantic manifestations of the peripheral zone of attributiveness, namely, the intrinsic attributive with possessive semantics, with the semantics of comparison, adverbial attributives with the semantics of the mode of action in the form of the instrumental case. Attributive syntaxemes in the studied dialects characterize various situations and retain semantic and morphological connections with output words, phrases and sentences. They can be synonymous with nouns in other indirect cases or verb constructions in the forms of subordinate attributive sentences. Their property to convey variable, temporary, situational signs is associated with a specific subject correlation by the attributive in the form of the instrumental case. Achieving this goal involves solving the following tasks: 1) to establish the original semantically elementary sentence that underlies the attributive syntaxeme, the lexical meanings of the supporting and dependent components; 2) find out the functional and semantic meaning of the attributive syntaxeme. Within the framework of the attributive components in the form of the instrumental case, groups distinguished, among which: the names of the characteristic features of a person's appearance, the names of the methods of production processes, the names of the external characteristics of movement in space, parts of clothing, shoes, parts of objects household items, characteristics as a result of an action, the name of a generalized characteristic of an action and a situation as a whole, an external characteristic of a person or animal, the name of an external characteristic of a plant, the name of a qualitative characteristic of an individual action, and the like.

Factors influencing the process of wet-heat treatment of clothing parts and their interrelation

Factors influencing the process of wet-heat treatment of clothing parts and their interrelation

Image Localized Style Transfer to Design Clothes Based on CNN and Interactive Segmentation.

In recent years, image style transfer has been greatly improved by using deep learning technology. However, when directly applied to clothing style transfer, the current methods cannot allow the users to self-control the local transfer position of an image, such as separating specific T-shirt or trousers from a figure, and cannot achieve the perfect preservation of clothing shape. Therefore, this paper proposes an interactive image localized style transfer method especially for clothes. We introduce additional image called outline image, which is extracted from content image by interactive algorithm. The interaction consists simply of dragging a rectangle around the desired clothing. Then, we introduce an outline loss function based on distance transform of the outline image, which can achieve the perfect preservation of clothing shape. In order to smooth and denoise the boundary region, total variation regularization is employed. The proposed method constrains that the new style is generated only in the desired clothing part rather than the whole image including background. Therefore, in our new generated images, the original clothing shape can be reserved perfectly. Experiment results show impressive generated clothing images and demonstrate that this is a good approach to design clothes.

Where to Look and How to Describe: Fashion Image Retrieval With an Attentional Heterogeneous Bilinear Network

Fashion products typically feature in compositions of a variety of styles at different clothing parts. In order to distinguish images of different fashion products, we need to extract both appearance (i.e., “how to describe”) and localization (i.e., “where to look”) information, and their interactions. To this end, we propose a biologically inspired framework for image-based fashion product retrieval, which mimics the hypothesized two-stream visual processing system of human brain. The proposed attentional heterogeneous bilinear network (AHBN) consists of two branches: a deep CNN branch to extract fine-grained appearance attributes and a fully convolutional branch to extract landmark localization information. A joint channel-wise attention mechanism is further applied to the extracted heterogeneous features to focus on important channels, followed by a compact bilinear pooling layer to model the interaction of the two streams. Our proposed framework achieves satisfactory performance on three image-based fashion product retrieval benchmarks.

A robotic end-effector with rolling up mechanism for pick-and-release of a cotton sheet

In this paper we introduce a novel robotic end-effector for pick-and-release of a sheet of cotton cloth. One of the main operations in a factory for sewing cloth products is to pick up cloth parts, provide them to a sewing machine, and sew them together. Fabric products are assembled by performing this work in various processes. Each work starts with a lot of cloth parts stacked near a sewing machine. In the case of underwear, thin cotton cloth is the target of manipulation, but such cloth parts tend to stick to each other, and a certain skill or technical acuity is required for picking up. Therefore, this work is basically done manually in the present. The purpose of this study is to automate such manipulation, so we devise an end-effector that picks up only the top one of stacked cotton sheets. The proposed end-effector has a mechanism that is a cylindrical brush attached with a remover cloth on its surface. The cylindrical brush is grounded on a cotton sheet, and then is rotated to roll up only the cotton sheet. This mechanism makes it possible to release the sheet by rotating the brush in the reverse. We constructed hardware with this function and attached it to the tip of a robotic manipulator. In addition, we performed system integration so that the initial position of rolling up a cotton sheet could be automatically determined from images taken by a camera. We also conducted evaluation experiments.

Among the numerous patterns and patterns, some widely used totems have different applications in different parts of traditional clothing. From the perspective of the traditional clothes of blue clothes Zhuang nationality, the Southern Zhuang nationality and the northern one live in different areas, so different national aesthetic constructs different embroidery art characteristics. The plain Zhuang embroidery is mostly humble embroidery, and the mountain Zhuang in the northern Guangxi mountain area is mostly skillful embroidery, which are well-made, showing the classic national characteristics. In this paper, through the analysis of the traditional clothing embroidery pattern of blue clothing Zhuang, the cultural connotation and value of related clothing decoration are studied.

The Chotyniec agglomeration and its importance for interpretation of the so-called Scythian finds from south-eastern Poland

Artefacts of eastern provenance, so-called Scythian ones, have been registered in Polish areas for a long time. In the western part of Polish lands, they were most often linked with Scythian invasions, and this explanation of finds was emphasized by destroyed settlements. In eastern Poland, the presence of similar artefacts, was interpreted rather in the context of contacts with the forest-steppe zone, and their almost neighbourly character was confirmed by characteristic decorations and parts of clothing. Discoveries related to the fortified settlement in Chotyniec (south-eastern Poland), together with accompanying settlements from the same time, allow for a slightly different view on the so-called Scythian finds recorded within the eastern groups of the Lusatian circle. The agglomeration should be treated as the farthest northwest enclave of the forest-steppe variant of the Scythian culture and as transmitter of certain cultural patterns. It is also a cultural phenomenon that plays a key role in the reception of the so-called eastern cultural elements.

Design and Preliminary Implementation of an Air Microfluidics Enabled Soft Robotic Knee Brace Towards the Management of Osteoarthritis.

A dynamic and low-profile unloader tibiofemoral knee brace is designed and prototyped by synergizing concepts from the fields of microfluidics and soft robotics. Microfluidics provides strategies for miniaturization and multiplexing while soft robotics afford the tools to create soft fluidic actuators and allow compliant and inherently safe robotic assistance as part of clothing. The unloader knee brace provides dynamic response during the gait cycle, where a three-point leverage torque is provided only during the stance phase to contribute to joint stability when required and enhance comfort and compliance.Clinical Relevance- This novel soft robotic brace has the potential to reduce device abandonment due to aesthetics, user non-compliance and discomfort due to a constant three-point leverage torque during the gait cycle. Also, this air microfluidics enabled soft robotic knee brace could be expanded upon to improve the efficacy of braces in general and augment the effects of physical therapy, rehabilitation and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

HIJAB IN THE INDONESIAN NATIONAL STRUGGLE

Fashion and history cannot be separated, because fashion is one indicator of a change in culture, civilization, behavior, and certain identities. Vice versa, changes and developments in fashion are influenced by conditions at the time the fashion is developing, both the social, cultural, political, religious, economic and others. Fashion that is developing in Indonesia is Muslim fashion. One part of Muslim clothing is the hijab, headgear worn by Muslim women. Hijab is not only part of religious observance, hijab is already part of fashion and we can examine the hijab style of a society from its historical period. We can analyze the effects that occurred at that time.This writing will focus on how the hijab style during the struggle for independence, especially the Indonesian female heroes. How their hijab style is greatly influenced by the situation, conditions and even their role in the struggle for Indonesian independence. Hijab style at that time, of course, there are differences with the hijab worn at the present time. Even at that time every Indonesian heroine had a unique hijab style in accordance with their respective character and culture. This is very interesting to be appointed as a study, where the hijab is also part of their identity as Muslim warriors who are not afraid of invading the invaders, and also their role in fighting for the dignity of women at that time.

Modeling of technological parameters of filament joints of clothing parts for professional sports fencing

The object of the presented research is the technological process of manufacturing clothes for professional sports fencing. The subject of research is the quality of the knitted joints, which are regulated by technical requirements and require special attention when designing an assortment of clothes for fencing athletes.The research methodology is based on the analysis of scientific literature, measurement of mechanical properties and modeling of technological parameters of knitted joints of fencing clothes. In order to determine the effect of the number of stitches on the breaking strength and the longitudinal deformation of the knitted joints of fencing clothes, mathematical modeling of the manufacturing process using the experimental design method is used. The choice of the experimental design is associated with determining the number of experimental points and their placement in the factor space, which will make it possible to obtain the necessary information for making a decision with a relatively small number of experiments. During the study, methods were used to determine the breaking strength and extended deformation of the joints. A feature of the study is the determination of rational technological parameters of the knitted joints while maintaining the necessary tensile strength and a certain level of longitudinal deformation. The rational parameters of the number of stitches in the seam-sewn and finishing stitching lines for the studied materials of fencing clothes are those for which the tensile strength of the seam is ≥970 N and the longitudinal deformation does not exceed ± 2.0%, namely: t– (5.0÷6.5) stitches/10 mm, h–(3.0÷3.5) stitches/10 mm.The obtained results prove the possibility of using mathematical modeling methods to predict the quality of knitted joints of clothing parts for professional sports fencing. This approach is of practical importance and can be applied both at the stage of designing the technology of manufacturing clothes for professional sports fencing when choosing processing modes for new materials, and at the stage of manufacturing and quality control of performed operations.

Machine-knitted washable sensor array textile for precise epidermal physiological signal monitoring.

Wearable textile electronics are highly desirable for realizing personalized health management. However, most reported textile electronics can either periodically target a single physiological signal or miss the explicit details of the signals, leading to a partial health assessment. Furthermore, textiles with excellent property and comfort still remain a challenge. Here, we report a triboelectric all-textile sensor array with high pressure sensitivity and comfort. It exhibits the pressure sensitivity (7.84 mV Pa-1), fast response time (20 ms), stability (>100,000 cycles), wide working frequency bandwidth (up to 20 Hz), and machine washability (>40 washes). The fabricated TATSAs were stitched into different parts of clothes to monitor the arterial pulse waves and respiratory signals simultaneously. We further developed a health monitoring system for long-term and noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular disease and sleep apnea syndrome, which exhibits great advancement for quantitative analysis of some chronic diseases.
