An approved fire extinguisher [the dry chemical (bicarbonate) type is preferred, but the CO2 type is satisfactory] should be mounted near at least one exit and refilled after every use, no matter how small. The laboratory should be arranged so as to provide two or more avenues of escape from any experimental setup in case of emergency. A first-aid kit containing Band-Aids, sterile gauze, adhesive tape, petroleum jelly, a mild antiseptic, sterile cotton swabs, tweezers, a set of sewing needles, a packet of razor blades, and a quick-reference first-aid manual will provide adequately for most minor emergencies.

The earliest bone carvings that have been found are reckoned to be about 40 000 years old. They are inevitably primitive, and it is not known what they were used for. In the Stone Age humans discovered how to carve bone to make sewing needles, but before that they made musical wind instruments from the bones of large birds, such as vultures. Some of the flutes found are thought to be up to 24 000 years old. The fashion for bone flutes continued until Roman times and later. The bone most favoured for the instruments was then the shin bones of sheep.

Sewing needles come in a wide range of point types that are used for sewing many different types and properties of material. Indeed, you could write a book on the sewing needle alone. 

Because of its abundance relative to the others, copper was probably the first of these metals to be collected. Worked copper beads dating from about 9000 bce, possibly used for decoration, have been found in northern Iraq. Native North American burial mounds from about 2000 BCE have been found to contain copper spear heads, chisels, and bracelets. Pre-Columbian inhabitants of Ecuador worked native copper by hot hammering, and they made small copper axes, bells, and sewing needles. Copper also appears in the earliest remains of Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Indian, and Chinese settlements. 

The polymers, which are of poor solubility, can only be spun from a methanolic solution of calcium thiocyanate. Spun fibers are highly crystalline even when not drawn. Since the polymers withstand oxidation and possess high melting points, they are used as sewing yam for industrial sewing machines. With polymers of lower melting points, the yam fiber would melt when in contact with the very hot sewing needles, especially...

La Tohta s occupants in the South American gold country Esmeralda also manufactured many objects of copper sewing needles, small axes and pieces of filigree made of fine copper wire. 

Generally speaking, denser embroidery is preferred, as it reduces potential physical discontinuities in the textile surfaces. Concurrently, conductivity is increased. However, in practice, denser embroidery is more challenging to carry out and may result in sewing needle breakage. Therefore, the embroidery density is optimized to achieve a compromise between high-quality embroidery and feasible fabrication. As shown in Table 10.2, a low loss of 0.2 dB in insertion loss was observed at 3 GHz for a 664-thread E-fiber TL (sample E) when the embroidery density increased from 1.6... 

In this work a fiber will be loosely defined as a thread-like body with an aspect ratio greater than ten, but having a maximum diameter no greater than 0.1 cm. This is arbitrary, but similarly there is no definitive definition that differentiates a thread from a rope. Is a thread a small rope Or is a rope a large thread In this work only fibers possessing diameters within the definition will be considered. Few, if any, important, fibrous substances will be excluded by this definition. If there is a problem, it will be that too many substances will be classified as fibers when they probably should be defined in some other way. A sewing needle will be defined as a fiber if it has a diameter less than one millimeter, and most are less than one millimeter in diameter.
