The invention relates to a method for positioning yarn by an embedded system, belonging to the technical field of textile processing. The method comprises the technical proposal that: on a drafting mechanism of a ring spinning frame, two chopped fiber rough yarns unreeled from a rough yarn bobbin enter a drafting zone respectively in parallel to be drafted by yarn guiding horns; two continuous yarns are fed from the rear end of a front roller, and join with the two crude yarn strands respectively at a front jaw; the two drafted crude yarn strands and the two continuous yarns are output from the front jaw, enter a twisting triangular zone to be twisted, and are wound on a spun yarn bobbin into yarn; according to different relative positions of the two crude yarn strands and the two continuous yarns, yarns with various structures can be formed. The method can realize that polycomponent yarns with a core-spun structure, a fasciated structure and a folded yarn like structure can be spinned on the ring spinning frame; the yarn structure can be accurately selected and determined and is closer, and yarns has more excellent hairiness, brute force and evenness; and spinning of special fiber yarns on the traditional spinning equipment can be realized so as to enlarge the range of spinning materials.

In one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a filter having a first spiral support member having a first end and a second end, a second spiral support member positioned adjacent the first spiral support member to form an open loop between the first end and the second end of the first spiral support member; and a filtering structure attached to the open loop. In another embodiment of the present invention there is provided a filter having a first spiral support member having a first end and a-second end; a second spiral support member positioned adjacent the first spiral support member to form a loop between the first end and the second end; a material covering a portion of the first and the second spiral support members; and a structure attached to the loop.

A MEMS device, for example a capacitive microphone, comprises a flexible membrane 11 that is free to move in response to pressure differences generated by sound waves. A first electrode 13 is mechanically coupled to the flexible membrane 11, and together form a first capacitive plate of the capacitive microphone device. A second electrode 23 is mechanically coupled to a generally rigid structural layer or back-plate 14, which together form a second capacitive plate of the capacitive microphone device. The capacitive microphone is formed on a substrate 1, for example a silicon wafer. A back-volume 33 is provided below the membrane 11, and is formed using a “back-etch” through the substrate 1. A first cavity 9 is located directly below the membrane 11, and is formed using a first sacrificial layer during the fabrication process. Interposed between the first and second electrodes 13 and 23 is a second cavity 17, which is formed using a second sacrificial layer during the fabrication process. A plurality of bleed holes 15 connect the first cavity 9 and the second cavity 17. Acoustic holes 31 are arranged in the back-plate 14 so as to allow free movement of air molecules, such that the sound waves can enter the second cavity 17. The first and second cavities 9 and 17 in association with the back-volume 33 allow the membrane 11 to move in response to the sound waves entering via the acoustic holes 31 in the back-plate 14. The provision of first and second sacrificial layers has the advantage of protecting the membrane during manufacture, and disassociating the back etch process from the definition of the membrane. The bleed holes 15 aid with the removal of the first and second sacrificial layers. The bleed holes 15 also contribute to the operating characteristics of the microphone.

Actuators (artificial muscles) comprising twist-spun nanofiber yarn or twist-inserted polymer fibers generate torsional and / or tensile actuation when powered electrically, photonically, chemically, thermally, by absorption, or by other means. These artificial muscles utilize non-coiled or coiled yarns and can be either neat or comprising a guest. Devices comprising these artificial muscles are also described.
