Machinery (February 2007 edition)

Innovations help firms to differentiate their products and gain a competitive
advantage.

Using mirrors, Aston University in the UK has converted a 75 km optical fibre into a
laser. Researchers in Beijing have a technique for producing a carbon nanotube yarn,
and researchers in Hong Kong have used carbon nanotubes to dramatically increase the
strength of bullet-proof fabrics. Polyplastics has a new polyoxymethylene flat yarn
for packaging tape while Faytex has a new elastic yarn for sportswear. Milliken has
a new woven fabric for automotive airbags and Sonobond's ultrasonic bonding can be
used for sealing nonwovens for automotive air filters. Vetrotex has a process for
producing glass fibre mats for use in the manufacture of composites.

RG Attachments has a new folder for clothing manufacture while a new lighter weight
but stronger material for body armour from the Institute for Soldier
Nanotechnologies (ISN) uses a three-dimensional network of epoxy struts. DuPont uses
a blend of aramid and flame retardant cellulosic fibres for lightweight protective
clothing while Amer Salah has a garment with electrodes to provide muscle
stimulation. Researchers in California have a neoprene garment resembling a wetsuit
for saving life in childbirth. Georgia Technical Research Corporation has a
garment-based sensor to transmit vital signs from patients at home while Margaret
Orth has developed a light controller incorporated within a soft conductive textile.

Procter and Gamble has a new disposable cleaning wipe. Singing Rock has a novel
lightweight mountaineering rope and Viking Life Saving Equipment has a new textile
life raft. Nun and Oles have self-cleaning textiles incorporating nanoparticles, and
Milliken has a new anti-static textile finish.
