“…ANNs have been used for the prediction of hairiness of worsted wool yarns (Khan et al, 2009) and of cotton yarns (Babay et al, 2005;Majumdar, 2010). In a similar way, ANNs have been used for the prediction of the evenness of ring spun worsted yarns (Wang & Zeng, 2008) and cotton yarns Majumdar, 2010) or the evenness of blended rotor yarns (Demiryurek & Koc, 2009). As it is known, when two yarn ends must be joined, instead of knotting they are subjected in the splicing process.…”
