How is lace woven?

Lace is an airy, thin fabric made from thin threads knitted into a specific pattern. Lace is usually used to decorate our various items of clothing and what we use in everyday life. Laces are hand-knitted and machine-knitted. The first handmade lace was probably made in Italy in the middle of the XNUMXth century. Shortly thereafter, lace began to be made in France. Nowadays, handmade lace is made mainly in Italy and Belgium. Machine knitted lace is produced mainly in England, France and the United States.

Handmade lace is usually made in two ways: with a needle or with bobbins. Needle lace is made as follows: a design is applied to thick paper with a fabric underneath it and then sewn with long stitches as a base, on which the lace maker works with a needle with a single thread, embroidering the design with loop stitches. When the work is finished, the lace maker removes the long stitches and removes the lace from the design on paper.

Bobbin lace is made using a huge number of threads, each of which is wound on a bobbin (bobbin). The pattern is applied to the paper, and the paper is pinned to the fabric roller. Then pins are stuck into the roller to hold the threads in place while the lace is being made. Lace is woven with two bobbins in each hand. They are moved from side to side, crossing the threads. As the work progresses, the pins are rearranged further and further.

Chantilly lace is bobbin lace that features climbing vines or twigs on a netted background. It is often used to decorate evening dresses and bridal veils.

Cluny lace is a simpler patterned bobbin lace commonly used for trimming children's dresses and bed linens.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

3D printed material for cartilage repair 07.04.2019

For quite some time now, bioengineering and medical implant specialists have been practicing the rather traditional concept of replacing bone tissue and supporting bone structures with special implants that help bones and their joints move freely and without pain. In particular, this concept has become popular and interesting in the treatment of postoperative problems of this kind. However, today a team of specialists from the University of Maryland in the United States presented their new version of an artificial bone implant, created using a 3D printer and having the ability to restore cartilage joints in the most amazing way.

Thus, the new concept of the implant is designed for use in the treatment of osteochondral problems and osteochondral tissue - which is a special connecting layer of the external type, usually located between two or more hard bones and supporting the cartilaginous connection. Previous bone implants, despite their ability to dissolve almost completely after a certain rehabilitation time, still cannot boast the same degree of reliability and resistance to external deformation factors as observed in the presented experimental bone implant.

Specialists-developers note that in their case it became possible to create such an implant, which, dissolving and decomposing in a safe way next to natural bone tissue, at the same time has the ability to restore connective tissue and cartilage gaps, thereby achieving two goals - significantly reducing pain after operations on this tissue and providing a significantly higher degree of reliability of bone support.

It becomes clear that with such a new technological approach to creating an implant, one can count on a really excellent option for postoperative support, but it is worth recognizing that so far, the developers of such an experimental bone implant with restorative properties continue to look for the most suitable option for mass production.
