... that integrated wearable device technology in a smart glove to detect wrist four direction movements. Design/methodology/approach The quadri-directional optical bending sensor was designed with a microcontroller board, a Bluetooth wireless module, a side-emitting polymeric optical fibre (POF), an infrared...

... and the thread, the fabrics’ material property, and the sewing conditions. It can predict needle heating in high accuracy. In order to validate the model, a large number of experiments were conducted, in which the needle temperatures were measured using infrared radiometry. It is found that the simulation...

...Evangelos Liasi; Ruxu Du; Dan Simon; Jasmina Bujas‐Dimitrejevic; Frank Liburdi This paper presents an experimental study on needle heating in sewing heavy materials such as upholstery fabrics. In the experiments, infrared (IR) radiometry, high speed line scanning IR radiometry, and high speed IR...
