	Lowell National Historical Park - Power Looms
		In a power loom, movements coordinated by human hand and eye have to be replicated through the precise interaction of levers, cams, gears, and springs.
		Successful power looms were in operation in England by the early 1800s, but those made in America were inadequate.
		With the introduction of a dependable power loom, weaving could keep up with spinning, and the American textile industry was underway.

	loom - Encyclopedia.com
		Modern looms are of two types, those with a shuttle (the part that carries the weft through the shed) and those without; the latter draw the weft from a stationary supply.
		Vertical looms, such as the Navajo and some tapestry looms, developed from the practice of hanging the warp beam from a tree and holding the yarns taut with stones, pegs, or a weighted pole.
		In the foot loom the harnesses were operated by treadles, leaving the hands free to pass and catch the shuttle.

	Loom Summary
		The advancement of loom technology was not universally welcomed; on the contrary, each new invention was commonly received with fear and hostility, particularly on the part of the hand-weavers who saw themselves becoming rapidly obsolete.
		Looms used for weaving traditional tapestry are classified as haute lisse looms, where the weft is suspended vertically between two rolls, and the basse lisse looms, where the weft extends horizontally between the rolls.
		Originally, powered looms were shuttle-operated but in the early part of the 20th century the faster and more efficient shuttleless loom came into use.

	Retrospective on Loom
		Loom is unusual among classifiers in that it maintains the currency of its computations in the presence of modifications both to concepts (concept redefinition) and to instances (instance update).
		Loom enables users to switch between classified and unclassified instances, so they are free to experiment if they are unsure whether or not their application benefits from use of the classifier.
		Loom definitions and non-factual axioms are not context-sensitive—an inherited definition/axiom cannot be retracted in a child context.

	Of Men and Machines--The Industrial Revolution
		There were many efforts at inventing a loom, some notable attempts include the ‘Dutch loom' which began weaving ribbons as early as the seventeenth century, and the loom made by a Frenchman named de Gennes in 1678.
		In 1794, in two power looms, a Dumbarton workshop was set up with 40 power looms, and by 1800, there were factories that housed up to two hundred steam powered looms.
		Ergo, the main duty of weavers with the power loom was to replace broken threads.

	Basics of Weaving (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In the de-centralised weaving sectors, a group of looms is driven by means of a common motor and an overhead shaft and belt-drive arrangement.
		This method of driving power looms is found in the de-centralised weaving sectors, It can be seen in Figure 1.3 that in this system, a common motor A drives an overhead shaft D via pulleys B and C, which is in fact the main shaft of the system.
		Each loom has a fast-and-loose pulley G which is connected to the corresponding main shaft pulley by means of a belt F. The belts can be shifted on the corresponding fast-and-loose pulley, either to run the loom or to stop it.

	Arkwright and Cartwright
		Robert Grimshaw, who was from near Manchester, apparently made arrangements with Cartwright to use his power loom invention in a weaving mill (to be equipped with 500 looms) that was built in 1790.
		The Power Loom is a modern invention of a clergyman of the name of Cartwright, resident at Hollander-house, Kent, or at least if the invention be not new, its practical application is so.
		Cartwright, erected a weaving factory at that place, in 1790, which he filled with 500 power looms, but before they had well got into motion the factory was burnt down, and the prospect of success had not sufficiently promising to induce its re-erection.

		Energy experts say the crisis has been brought on because cash-strapped state governments have failed to build new power plants to meet the demands of a growing population and an economy that has expanded by seven or more percent in each of the last two fiscal years.
		They complain that relying on their own power is often expensive, and adds to the cost of services and products in an increasingly competitive global environment.
		Economists say the problems in the power sector are symbolic of India's need to upgrade its run-down infrastructure across the board, if it wants to bill itself legitimately as one of the world's fastest-growing economies, and become more attractive to foreign investors.

	Modern History Sourcebook: William Radcliffe: Power Looms, 1828
		From 1789 to 1794, my chief business was the sale of muslin warps, sized and ready for the loom, (being the first who sold cotton twist in that state, chiefly to Mr Oldknow, the father of the muslin trade in our country.) Some warps I sent to Glasgow and Paisley.
		In weaving no great alteration had taken place during these 18 years, save the introduction of the fly-shuttle, a change in the woollen looms to fustians and calico, and the linen nearly gone, except the few fabrics in which there was a mixture of cotton.
		These families, up to the time I have been speaking of, whether as cottagers or small farmers, had supported themselves by the different occupations I have mentioned in spinning and manufacturing, as their progenitors from the earliest institutions of society had done before them.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Cartwright's power loom
		This loom capitalised on the flying shuttle invented in 1733 by John Kay, and improvements in yarn production achieved by Hargreaves (the “spinning Jenny”, 1764) and Crompton (the “spinning mule”, 1779) and Arkwright’s “water frame” of 1769, which had radically increased the volume and quality of yarns available to weavers.
		Whilst Cartwright’s first loom was a breakthrough, it was also imperfect, and many more refinements were to be required before the full effect of its achievements could realised.
		However, through 1800-1810 improvements by other inventors, coupled with improvements in steam engines, brought the power loom to such efficiency that it was generally adopted, precipitating the Luddite riots and encouraging the development of large towns such as Manchester where weaving was the dominant occupation.

	Power loom temple - Patent 4627473
		The present invention relates to temples or expanders for power looms.
		In power looms, temples are arranged at both sides of the machine at the edge of the finished fabric in order to minimize contraction or shrinkage, that is to maintain the same width in the finished fabric as that of the warp in the reed.
		Difficulties arise when different fabrics are to be manufactured on the same loom and the built-in temples are not suitable for all of these.

		Second, they had been told by a "loom expert" that the standing beater on their loom dated its construction to the late 1800s -- and any oral history passed down with the loom (concerning earlier construction and usage) simply could not be accurate.
		There were, however, major differences between Almond's loom and the American rocker beater looms -- the most important being that instead of having rockers, the legs of Almond's beater were simply pinned to the base of the loom frame.

		The miniaturization of ICs is sustained by the scaling theory of physics, which states that a transistor device operates reliably at a higher speed when the device size and voltage supply (Vdd) are scaled down by the same factor.
		The power integrity (PI) issue, which arises from increasing current density and larger dynamic current spikes, can only be addressed effectively from the perspectives of both design and verification.
		An emerging threat to power and ground structures comes from two additional sources of power integrity issues that have been neglected in current verification solutions: the dynamic switching current, i(t)R, and the on-chip and off-chip inductive noise, L di/dt.
