Abstract: Low weight and non-square carpet tile suitable for use in mass transit vehicles, particularly passenger aircraft. The carpet tile preferably weighs less than about 82 ounces per square yard. The carpet tile of this invention may have a carpet pile and at least one backing layer. The backing layer may use low weight filler material. Secondary backing plastic material may be compressed into the tile structure with pressure rollers or other pressure applying process on an improved tile production line. The carpet tiles satisfy transportation industry standards for flame, smoke and toxicity. Tiles may be sized during manufacture and installed in configurations that minimize the number of tile sizes needed and minimize the need for cutting tiles during installation. The patterns used for such tiles may be orthogonally ambiguous or otherwise suitable for "random" installation. In other embodiments, a passenger aircraft cabin includes a floor having rectangular carpet tiles installed thereon, and the carpeting can be installed in the aircraft without removing seats from the aircraft.

Abstract translation: 适用于公共交通工具，特别是客机的低重量和非方形地毯。 地毯瓦片优选重量小于约82盎司/平方码。 本发明的地毯砖可以具有地毯绒头和至少一个背衬层。 背衬层可以使用低重量的填充材料。 二次背衬塑料材料可以用改进的瓦片生产线上的压力辊或其它压力施加工艺压入瓦片结构中。 地毯砖满足交通行业的火焰，烟雾和毒性标准。 在制造过程中，瓷砖的尺寸可能会大小，并以最小化所需瓷砖尺寸数量的配置进行安装，并最大限度地减少了在安装过程中切割瓷砖的需求。 用于这种瓦片的图案可以是正交地模糊的或者其他适合于“随机”安装的图案。 在其他实施例中，客机舱包括其上安装有矩形地毯的地板，并且地毯可以安装在飞行器中而不从飞机上移除座椅。

Abstract: Creels having frames configured to receive one or more trays of yarn packages. The trays of yarn packages are removable from the frame and can be loaded with packages of yarn when not inserted into the frame. Separately loading trays with yarns can simplify and provide other benefits with respect to the process of loading a creel with yarn packages. Also disclosed is an assembly that is positioned with respect to a detachable header and a stationary header on a creel and that comprises an air flow unit that causes yarns to move through to an alignment mechanism that aligns the yarns for attachment to yarns already feeding into a tufting machine.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate the creation and harvesting of algae using tufted products. One exemplary tufted product comprises a substrate and tufts tufted through the substrate. The use of a tufted product provides various advantages with respect to the creation and harvesting of algae. Among other things, such products can be configured to improve the amount of algal-growing surface area provided and other growing environment characteristics and to facilitate the harvesting of the algae from the tufted product by facilitating the release of all or most of the algae from attachment to the tufted product.
