COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF TS387A AND TS731K SYNTHETIC FIBERS

The R&D team recently administered a strict test of both the TS387A and TS731K synthetic fibers and the results are as follows:

TS731K, the newer fiber, is slightly more durable than TS387A. The TS731K was also more resilient in severe environments, including unbearable heat and freezing cold. It is also more difficult to cut and tear accidentally. Furthermore, TS731K absorbs a number of different dyes and retains color well. After several cycles of tests in a regular washing machine, dyed TS731K was much less likely to rim than TS387A.

TS731K, however, requests a slightly higher manufacturing cost. Also, due to its resiliency, it cannot be neatly cut. Unfortunately, it will never be suitable for delicate garments, but could guarantee high profitability as a material for pants, jackets, and loose-fitting shirts.

Currently we are using TS387A to mass produce a number of garments. This fiber still presents better quality than what most other clothing companies are using and we have had a continuous increase in our operating profits. Under the current circumstances it might be costly and unnecessary to convert to TS731K at this point, despite its clear superiority. We certainly need to seriously consider changing to TS731K only when it appears our competitors are catching up to us.

What you need to know before you have a health checkup

Blood Test

■ You must have nothing to eat or drink (besides tap water) for 12 hours prior to your blood test appointment. However, you must not fast if you are an insulin-dependent diabetic.

Carotid Exam (main artery on the neck)

■ It would be helpful if you would wear a shirt or blouse that is loose-fitting for easy access to your neck area.

■ Remove earrings and necklaces before the exam.

Abdominal Exam

■ Do not eat solid foods 6 hours prior to the exam.

■ This exam requires a sonographer to scan your abdomen directly, so please wear a two-piece outfit.

■ If you are diabetic and are not comfortable fasting for 4 hours, please limit yourself to a "diabetic meal."

Peripheral Exam

■ Please do not wear stockings for this exam.

■ Shirts with sleeves that can be easily pulled above the elbow and pants that can be pulled above the ankle would be helpful.

Don't worry about pacemakers, hearing aids, dental work, or previous surgery. They will not be damaged, nor will their function be disturbed by our exams. They will not interfere with the results of our tests. All exams are completely painless except for the blood test, which requires only a small prick of the finger.
