The consumer user interface provides the consumer the ability to create a purchase list by receiving advertisement data on the consumer device, selecting an item desired for purchase, identifying the purchase list for the item to be saved, creating the purchase list if the purchase list identified does not exist, and saving the item to the identified purchase list. The consumer user interface further provides the consumer the ability to share a purchase list by identifying a purchase list to be shared, converting the purchase list to the appropriate format, identifying a recipient of the purchase list, and transmitting the purchase list to the recipient.

The process and apparatus of the present invention involves treating a well-integrated woven or non-woven web of hydrophobic fibers to make selected areas hydrophilic. It also can be used to make a web of hydrophilic fibers selectively hydrophobic. It uses a plurality of selectively adjustable covers on an applicator roll rotating in a bath of liquid to place the liquid material on selected areas of the web as the web moves over the roll. In a preferred embodiment the web is non-woven and the fibers are hydrophobic in nature, e.g., dry-laid or melt-blown polypropylene or polyethylene fibers or spun-bonded hydrophobic filaments. A woven web made of cotton or other hydrophilic fibers may also be used if the end result is to create partially hydrophobic areas on a hydrophilic web. The areas of liquid are positioned on the web only where desired so as to eliminate the excessive cost of unwanted and unnecessary coating material. If the web is hydrophobic, the liquid makes that area hydrophilic. If the web is hydrophilic, the liquid makes that area hydrophobic. Enhanced liquid containment and transport is obtained when at least one discontinuous fine fiber layer is utilized in the web and the fine fiber layer has a melt-blown content greater than zero but less than 1.5 gsm.

Provided are a method and device for inkjet printing onto fabrics (15) using ultraviolet (UV) ray-cured ink, wherein the ink is first partially cured by ultraviolet light (24) and then heated to more completely cure the ink. Printing takes place in a quilting machine (10) having a quilting table (27) and a printing table (25) upstream of the quilting table. Preferably, the printing station prints the multi-color design on only the top layer of fabric under the control of a programmed controller (35). The dot volume of the UV curable ink jetted onto the fabric was about 75 picoliters. A conveyor belt (20) moves the printed fabric from the printing station through the UV curing station (24), where a UV curing head either moves with or independently of the printing head to transfer the deposited UV The cured ink droplet is exposed to an ultraviolet beam of 300W per linear inch at a rate of about 1 joule of energy applied per square centimeter. The conveyor belt then passes the fabric through a heated drying station or an oven (26) where the fabric is heated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Preferably, the heating is done in a furnace with forced hot air, but other heating methods, such as infrared or other radiant heaters, may also be used. Before, or preferably after, heat curing, the fabric is combined with layers of other materials and, under programmed conditions, a quilted pattern is added using the printed pattern.

A method of manufacturing printed textile ribbons reliably and inexpensively, initially a web is produced which forms the later ribbon. The web is composed of two different materials, wherein a figure is applied on one side of the web. The web is subsequently subjected to a heat and pressure treatment with sublimation colors, such that the sublimation colors are absorbed by the first ribbon material and produce on one side a desired printed image. The figure is composed on this side of materials which do not absorb the sublimation colors. As a result, the color of the figure remains unchanged on this side of the ribbon, although the figure had contact with the sublimation colors.

An apparatus and a method for decolorizing a denim fabric with an oxidizing gas is disclosed. The process is initiated by producing compressed air which is processed to generate dry air. The air pressure of dry air is reduced to maintain at 10 psig and thereby generates ozone gas. A negative pressure is maintained to ensure no ozone leak out to ambient from a washer. The denim fabric may be exposed to a controlled amount of ozone gas for a predetermined time such as a process time. Whenever the process time expires, the amount of ozone gas is converted back to oxygen by running a variable speed motor at high speed to create a negative pressure within the processing unit and released to atmosphere. The method also incorporates a means for monitoring the level of ozone concentration in ambient for the safety of operators.
