A woven material is described in which optical fibers are positioned and held in the material in a manner to maximize their optical efficiency. The material consists of fibers extending in both the warp and woof direction, the optical fibers are positioned in channels between the supporting fibers in the warp direction. The material is manufactured using conventional weaving equipment by positioning both the optical fibers and the warp fibers, and then weaving the woof fibers into place without bending the optical fibers. The fibers are thusly woven so that the optical fibers have zero warp. The woven grid-like mat can be coated with a protective material that either enables it to form a flexible sheet of ribbon or a rigid, hard, grid-like mat which has aligned zero warp optical fibers embedded therein. The material shown can be used to provide sensing, imaging or communications. It can be utilized for optical backplanes for optoelectronic systems or a housing for optoelectronic components. |

A network article comprises reinforcing fiber fixed with a resin, in which the weft is almost straight and, preferably, the warp is also almost straight. To attain this, the warp consists of at least two kinds of yarns having different rigidities, and the lower rigidity yarn wreathes with higher rigidity yarn. Alternatively, a leno cloth is drawn in the weft direction to straighten the weft and then the resin is solidified under tension. The network article and a shaped inorganic product reinforced therewith exhibit higher tensile strength than those of the prior art. |

MILLER CHARLES C; RUMBERGER WILLIAM E |
A device for detecting conductive and non-conductive material present in fluid systems and lines, such as hydraulic, lubricating or cooling systems. The basic device is a woven mesh screen, which is cylindrical, flat or other shape, and comprises conductors of alternate polarity and non-conductors. The conductors may serve as the fill yarn while the non-conductors serve as the warp, or vice versa. Preferably, the selected weave exposes the conductors on one side, i.e., facing into the flow of fluid, with the non-conductors on the downstream side. A chip is detected when it contacts a pair of conductors of opposite polarity, thereby completing an electrical circuit and energizing a signal. Provision is made for incorporating a pressure sensitive device with the screen wherein rate of buildup of both conductive and non-conductive debris on the screen will be indicated by the change in pressure differential across the screen. The device, therefore, is readily incorporated into circulating fluid systems of all types. An embodiment of the invention permits the device to perform the functions of both a filter and a detector wherein debris below a certain size is not electrically detected, but is filtered out of the system.
