A colorimetric based sensor system includes a low power communication system to harvest energy from an interrogator and to broadcast information to the interrogator; a controller operatively connected to the low power communication system; a light emitter, operatively connected to the controller, to emit light; a light detector, operatively connected to the controller, to convert receive light into electrical signals; and a colorimetric based sensor, having a changeable color patch and in optical communication with the light detector and the light emitter, to measure a condition of an object of interest.

Electronically readable colorimetric sensor

A method and system applying glue to a fabric to create a bonded seam by applying a carrier liquid to a predetermined area of a first piece of fabric and in a pre-determined pattern; applying uniformly, to the first piece of fabric, particles of a powdered elastomer such that the particles of the powdered elastomer adhere to the applied carrier liquid; removing excess particles of the powdered elastomer, the excess particles of the powdered elastomer being particles of the powdered elastomer not adhering to the applied carrier liquid; applying a second piece of fabric to the predetermined area of a first piece of fabric; and curing the particles of a powdered elastomer to create a bonded seam between the first piece of fabric and the second piece of fabric.

System and process for gluing fabric

A spiral gyrator to be driven unidirectionally at a rate within the normal range for drying by spinning has a spiral strip about a base and upwardly on a central, upright post. The direction of the spiral is reversed for a turn near the top of the post. The first part of the spiral strip farthest from the center on the base has a plurality of spaced slots through it for creating radial jets of washing fluid to move wash rapidly in a pulsating manner. The rotative driving apparatus for the gyrator is simplified, and the reverse turn of the spiral strip near the top of the post prevents wash from being forced over the top of the post while the rotation of the gyrator is reversed and the tub of the washing machine is accelerating to a spinning rate.

Spiral gyrator for washing machines

A spiral outwardly facing surface, driving surface, of a dasher forces wash almost radially outwardly with little tendency for the wash to be whirled with the dasher. Therefore, the dasher can be driven unidirectionally by apparatus that is much simpler and more economical than the gearing used for reciprocating motion in conventional washing machines. Preferably, the height of the spiral surface is low, the change in rate of curvature is gradual, and a line normal to the tangent of the outer portion of the spiral is nearly radial to propel clothes radially while the dasher is being rotated at a speed within the range of speed normally used for drying by spinning. The use of the spinning rate further simplifies the rotative driving apparatus.
