    Abstract: Weaving equipment may include warp strand positioning equipment that positions warp strands and weft strand positioning equipment that inserts weft strands among the warp strands to form fabric. One or more of the warp strands may be selectively modified along its length using a warp strand modification unit. The warp strand modification unit may be interposed between the fabric and a reed, may be interposed between the fabric and the warp strand positioning equipment, may be mounted to the reed, or may be incorporated elsewhere in the weaving equipment. Warp strand modifications may include adding segments of metallic paint coatings or other conductive coatings, adding insulating coatings, applying other liquids to segments of the warp strand, modifying the stretchiness of warp strands, removing material from segments of the warp strand, and attaching electrical components to the warp strand.

    Abstract: An electronic device such as a pair of headphones may be provided with left and right speakers for playing audio to a user. Control circuitry in the electronic device may play audio through the speakers in an unreversed configuration in which left channel audio is played through a first of the speakers that is adjacent to a left ear of the user and right channel audio is played through a second of the speakers that is adjacent to a right ear of the user or a reversed configuration in which these channel assignments are reversed. The headphones may have ear cups that house the speakers. Capacitive touch sensors, force sensors, and other sensors on the ear cups may measure ear shapes and finger grip positions on the ear cups to determine whether to operate in the unreversed or reversed configuration. Sensors may gather gestures and other user touch input.

    Abstract: A fabric-based item may have fabric with conductive strands and insulating strands. The conductive strands may form conductive signal paths and may be coupled to control circuitry. The conductive strands and insulating strands may be woven in a construction that allows multiple conductive strands to contact one another to form a low resistance signal path such as a power line, a data line, or a ground line. The fabric may have a two up and three down twill pattern, a two up and three down twill pattern, or other suitable pattern. The pattern may be selected so that groups of conductive weft strands or groups of conductive warp strands are in contact with one another. The conductive strands may have greater density than the insulating strands. For example, if the weft strands are conductive, the fabric may have a higher number of picks per inch than ends per inch.
