The Jacquard machine is a device fitted to a power loom that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns as brocade and matelassé. It was invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804, based on earlier inventions by the Frenchmen Basile Bouchon, Jean Baptiste Falcon, Jacques Vaucanson; the machine was controlled by a "chain of cards". Multiple rows of holes were punched on each card, with one complete card corresponding to one row of the design. Several such paper cards white in color, can be seen in the images below. Chains, like Bouchon's earlier use of paper tape, allowed sequences of any length to be constructed, not limited by the size of a card. Both the Jacquard process and the necessary loom attachment are named after their inventor; this mechanism is one of the most important weaving inventions as Jacquard shedding made possible the automatic production of unlimited varieties of pattern weaving. The term "Jacquard" is not specific or limited to any particular loom, but rather refers to the added control mechanism that automates the patterning.

The process can be used for patterned knitwear and machine-knitted textiles, such as jerseys. This use of replaceable punched cards to control a sequence of operations is considered an important step in the history of computing hardware. Traditionally, figured designs were made on a drawloom; the heddles with warp ends to be pulled up were manually selected by a second operator, the draw boy, not the weaver. The work was slow and labour-intensive, the complexity of the pattern was limited by practical factors. An improvement of the draw loom took place in 1725, when Basile Bouchon introduced the principle of applying a perforated band of paper. A continuous roll of paper was punched by hand, in sections, each of which represented one lash or tread, the length of the roll was determined by the number of shots in each repeat of pattern; the Jacquard machine evolved from this approach. Joseph Marie Jacquard saw that a mechanism could be developed for the production of sophisticated patterns, he combined mechanical elements of other inventors, but innovated.

His machine was similar to Vaucanson's arrangement, but he made use of Jean-Baptiste Falcon's individual paste board cards and his square prism: he is credited with having perforated each of its four sides, replacing Vaucanson's perforated "barrel". Jacquard's machine contained eight rows of needles and uprights, where Vaucanson had double row, a modification that enabled him to increase the figuring capacity of the machine. In his first machine, he supported the harness by knotted cords, which he elevated by a single trap board. One of the chief advantages claimed for the Jacquard machine was that unlike previous damask-weaving machines, in which the figuring shed was drawn once for every four shots, with the new apparatus, it could be drawn on every shot, thus producing a fabric with greater definition of outline. Jacquard's invention had a deep influence on Charles Babbage. In that respect, he is viewed by some authors as a precursor of modern computing science. On the diagram, the cards are fastened into a continuous chain.

At each quarter rotation a new card is presented to the Jacquard head. The box swings from presses against the control rods. Where there is a hole the rod passes through the card and is unmoved whereas if the hole is not punched the rod is pushed to the left; each rod acts upon a hook. When the rod is pushed in the hook moves out of position to the left, a rod, not pushed in leaves its hook in place. A beam rises under the hooks and those hooks in the rest location are raised; each hook can have multiple cords. The cords are attached to their heddle and a return weight; the heddles raise the warp to create the shed. A loom with a 400 hook head might have four threads connected to each hook, resulting in a fabric, 1600 warp ends wide with four repeats of the weave going across; the term "Jacquard loom" is somewhat inaccurate. It is the "Jacquard head" that adapts to a great many dobby looms that allow the weaving machine to create the intricate patterns seen in Jacquard weaving. Jacquard-driven looms, although common in the textile industry, are not as ubiquitous as dobby looms which are faster and much cheaper to operate.

However, dobby looms are not capable of producing so many different weaves from one warp. Modern jacquard machines are controlled by computers in place of the original punched cards, can have thousands of hooks; the threading of a Jacquard machine is so labor-intensive. Subsequent warps are tied into the existing warp with the help of a knotting robot which ties each new thread on individually. For a small loom with only a few thousand warp ends the process of re-threading can take days; the Jacquard machines were mechanical, the fabric design was stored in a series of punched cards which were joined to form a continuous chain. The Jacquards were small and only independently controlled a few warp ends; this required a number of repeats across the loom width. Larger capacity machines, or the use of multiple machines, allowed greater control, with fewer repeats, hence larger designs could be woven across the loom width. A factory must choose looms and shedding mechanisms to suit its commercial requirem

Just Maath Maathalli is a 2010 Indian Kannada romantic feel good film, written & directed by Sudeep starring himself and Rajesh. The film follows Siddharth's search for Tanu to confess his love for her. Sudeep first approached producer Shanker Gowda to produce an action film. But, during discussions of the script, the idea of Just Maath Maathalli came up and Shanker Gowda showed immense interest in producing it. Sudeep direct the film. Siddharth, a singer in a rock band, leaves for Singapore from Bangalore. On the flight he meets Adi, a scriptwriter, who takes a liking to Siddharth and asks him about his trip to Singapore. Siddharth tells him that he was going in search of Tanu whom he liked. Adi, a scriptwriter, is amused and asks Siddharth to narrate his story about why he was trying to find her now. Siddharth begins narrating his experience which forms the greater part of the first half of the movie. Tanu's Story- Siddharth, standing at the precipice of a suicide point is looking down the cliff when Tanu, a stranger to Siddharth, pulls him back assuming he was attempting suicide and reprimands his act without allowing him to explain his actions.

Siddharth sits by a lake. Again Tanu presumes he would jump into the water in his attempt to kill himself, she gives him another dress-down. Disgusted, he goes to a tea stall by the road and orders for coffee; as he is adding sugar-free cubes into his coffee, Tanu notices him from a distance and again assuming that he is adding poison to his coffee rushes to his side and knocks down the tumbler from his hand before he takes his first sip. Siddharth, by now evidently tired of her unsolicited good Samaritan ways, lashes back, he tells her that he was only trying to see the depth of the cliff at the suicide point, was trying to splash some water on his face at the lake and that he was adding sugar-free cubes into his glass, all of which she misunderstood as suicidal attempts by him. He walks away after assuring her. At a railway station, while waiting for his train Siddharth sees Tanu running into the station trying to catch a departing train, she anyway sits on a bench tired. She asks the station master directions to the toilet.

She decides to use the sky-walk to reach the other side of the platform. As she goes up the sky-walk, Siddharth, sitting on a bench beside hers, notices a beggar, sitting nearby, missing, he walks up witnesses the beggar trying to steal gold bangles from Tanu. He shouts at the beggar and Tanu finds this distraction enough to kick the beggar in his groin and runs towards Siddharth, they both sit on a bench exhausted. They introduce themselves and Siddharth suggests he keep the bangle for safekeeping, she agrees and he tucks the bangle into his backpack. Tanu sees the beggar walking back towards them with four more people; the couple hide in a dark cattle shed with few oxen. One of baddies gets kicked by an ox; the others think that Siddharth hit their run away scared. Next morning Tanu departs for her destination by the morning train.

Nemo & Friends SeaRider is a simulator ride at Tokyo DisneySea at Tokyo Disney Resort. It is based on its sequel Finding Dory. Nemo & Friends SeaRider utilizes the same ride system as StormRider; the attraction is located in the Marine Life Institute at the heart of Port Discovery. Scientists at the Institute have created a substance called “Chidiminium” which can conduct electricity and shrink materials; this new material is used to safely shrink a fish-shaped submarine with guests inside. The SeaRider boasts artificial fish intelligence which allows it to think like a real fish and operate without a pilot. Guests dive into the sea aboard this fish-submarine and meet marine life such as Nemo and Marlin, who take guests on a journey through the ocean and encountering numerous characters from the two Finding Nemo films. Similar to Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, there are multiple variations in the ride film with the attraction being divided into five story beats. Upon being shrunk, the guests arrive on the Great Barrier Reef.

They travel through the reef either in the midst of a game of hide and seek with Dory or swimming with Mr. Ray and his class; as this sequence ends, they are invited to ride on the East Australian Current with the Sea Turtles, with sequences either focusing on Crush or Squirt. Leaving the Current either drops the group off in the Jellyfish Forest where they bounce their way out or in the Kelp Forest where they play tag with the Sea Otters; this leads into a climactic sequence which can include being sucked into the pipes of the Marine Life Institute and evading kids at the touch tank and escaping with the help of Hank or encountering the giant squid at the sunken shipping cargo area which concludes with the group being rescued by Destiny and Bailey. The attraction wraps up with a "return to the reef" scene where the group is carried and dropped off by Becky and the Loons or following the stingray migration back; the gang says farewell and the SeaRider is brought back to its original size.
