Because of these properties, silver is widely used in burned areas, medical devices, textile fabric, and as a water purifier [12].
In addition to biotags, the method can turn out all kinds of shapes – from keys to cylinders to swirls – that could be used to make everything from microelectromechanical machines to optical devices, fabrics, and even the miniature stirring bars and valves used in microfluidics.
Expected to sell for a cool €450, the device includes fabric covers, a wrist strap and a pouch.
The reconfigurable CRISP platform, also called General Streaming Processor (GSP), designed and implemented within the project, will consist of two separate devices: General Purpose Device GPDD) and Reconfigurable Fabric Device (RFD).
Such devices include fabric baghouse filters, acid gas scrubbers, and electrostatic precipitators.
ATAP's Project Jacquard is a platform for embedding sensors and feedback devices in fabrics and clothing in ways that seem natural and comfortable.
So in Jean-Pascal Beintus's "Nature Suite" for orchestra and four children playing toys called Music Shapers it was hard to judge the subtleties of the devices, essentially fabric-covered balls that when stroked and squeezed produce whooshes, whistles, click-clacks and whole arrays of sounds.
The results show that the proposed wet fabric device has a cooling potential for three climate conditions, considering that it does not require substantial constructive modifications.
The present work indicates the potential of a novel wet fabric device as a roof indirect evaporative cooling solution in comparison with a water roof pond and as a future reference for no water consumption devices.
While I guess it's possible that I may have made some passing comment about the device to remove fabric pills from clothing (last year's birthday present), anyone who has ever owned an acrylic sweater (the previous year's gift) can testify to the worth of that particular gadget.
