TL;DR: In this paper, a sewing system which can properly arrange stitch loops in a sewn section by automatically stitching knitted pieces with each other without requiring the exchange of a main sewing machine body in accordance with the coarseness and fineness of the stitches and is also suitable for stitching a knitted piece with a fabric.
Abstract: A sewing system which can properly arrange stitch loops in a sewn section by automatically stitching knitted pieces with each other without requiring the exchange of a main sewing machine body in accordance with the coarseness and fineness of the stitches and is also suitable for stitching a knitted piece with a fabric. The sewing system (10) is provided with the main sewing machine body (14) equipped with a setting table (15) for fixing objects (21a and 21b) to be sewn, a sewing needle (18), a sewing machine bed (12), and a first servo motor (29) which moves the needle (18) upward and downward, an X-Y table (44) equipped with first and second servo motors (45c and 46c) for moving the main body (14) forward and backward in the X-Y direction, a CCD camera (22) which fetches the picture data on the surface of the object (21b), a memory (56) which stores the picture data of the pattern of marks arranged on the surface of the object (21b), and a controller (55) which calculates the coordinates of stitches ( alpha ) to be sewn and the needle (18) by comparing both picture data and commands the main body (14) to sew the stitches ( alpha ) by moving the main body (14).
TL;DR: Endoscopic removal of ingested sewing needles was highly successful and should be recommended to prevent gastrointestinal tract perforation and associated morbidity in dogs and cats receiving definitive treatment.
Abstract: Objective—To characterize clinical signs, diagnostic test results, foreign body location, treatment, and outcome for dogs and cats with sewing needle foreign bodies. Design—Retrospective case series. Animals—65 dogs and cats with sewing needle foreign bodies. Procedures—Medical records of 27 dogs and 38 cats examined because of sewing needle foreign bodies from January 2000 to February 2012 were reviewed for signalment, medical history, physical examination findings, diagnostic test results, interval from witnessed exposure and radiographic imaging to definitive treatment, definitive treatment, sewing needle location, complications, and outcome. Results—7 (10.8%) animals had sewing needles in extragastrointestinal locations that were not causing clinical signs. The remaining 58 (89.2%) animals had known sewing needle exposure or acute clinical signs associated with ingestion. The esophageal and gastric regions were the most common location for a sewing needle (10/21 [47.6%] dogs; 19/37 [51.4%] cats), foll...
