Abstract: A system has at least one winder configured to wind yarn to form a yarn package. At least one sampling and tying machine is configured to remove a portion of the yarn of the yarn package and tie off a free end of the yarn around the yarn package to inhibit the yarn package from unwinding. A dunnage supply area has therein at least one support structure for receiving a plurality of yarn packages thereon. A robotic arm is configured to: move the yarn package from the at least one winder to the at least one sampling and tying machine; move the yarn package from the at least one sampling and tying machine to at least one case assembly area; and stack the yarn package on a support structure in the at least one case assembly area.

Abstract: A continuous process of forming a magnesium oxide-based product. The process includes preparing a feedstock, transferring the feedstock to a continuous curing process occurring at elevated temperatures and pressures, and drying the product of the continuous curing process. The process can further include lamination processes occurring after drying or in conjunction with curing. The continuous process reduces costs and times associated with traditional processes.

Abstract: Acoustic articles, decorative elements, and system comprising the same can include a decorative element having a first side and an opposing second side, and an acoustic article disposed on the opposing second side of the decorative element. The acoustic article can include an entangled fiber structure. The acoustic article can have a thickness of at least 0.4 mm, and can compress less than 25% of the thickness thereof when subjected to a pressure of 2 lbf/in2.

Abstract: A method of grinding a plurality of tufting blades of a blade assembly is disclosed. The plurality of tufting blades can be received within a blade block during grinding. The blade assembly can have a first axis, a second axis that is parallel to the first axis, and a third axis that is perpendicular to each of the first and second axes. Each tufting blade of the plurality of tufting blades can have a length that extends along the first axis, a width that extends along the second axis, and a thickness that extends along the third axis. The plurality of tufting blades can be spaced from each other along the third axis. The blade block can include at least one fastener that is configured to retain the plurality of tufting blades in respective fixed positions relative to the blade block.

Abstract: A system for transporting fiber ends can comprise a fiber supply assembly that supplies fiber along a first axis. A plurality of eyeboards can be positioned along the first axis. Each eyeboard can define a plurality of openings therethrough. Each opening of the plurality of openings can be configured to receive therethrough a fiber from the fiber supply assembly. A track can extend along the first axis. The track can pass proximate to each eyeboard of the at least one eyeboard. A carriage can be movable along the track. The carriage can define at least one fiber attachment element. An actuator can be configured to move the carriage along the track.

Abstract: A system and method for automated control and improvement of the consistency of yarn texture in a yarn system. The system and method are configured to monitor, improve and/or control the operating conditions of the yarn system. A plurality of sensors sense the operating conditions and send the sensed conditions to a processor. The processor monitoring the system can cause adjustments to the operating conditions to be made if a condition is outside of a predetermined tolerance.

Abstract: Methods for the recycling of carpet are disclosed that produce clean face fiber suitable for industrial use. The methods allow the recovery of face fiber material, for example a polyester or a polyamide, from carpets that includes a face fiber material and a backing material, and include the steps of heating the carpet to a temperature lower than the melting point of the face fiber material, but higher than the initial thermal decomposition temperature of the backing material, for a time and at a temperature sufficient to thermally decompose, pyrolyze, or oxidize at least a portion of the backing material, rendering the backing material friable, that is more friable than the untreated backing; and applying mechanical force to the carpet so as to liberate the friable backing material from the face fiber material.
