US Patent 6,164,339 (granted 26 December 2000 to E. Skott Greenhalgh, assigned to Prodesco, Inc.) describes a method of weaving a textile with a wire-like structural member woven in. The member can be straight or a shape-memory undulating wire that is straightened for weaving and later returns to its remembered shape. The main application is tubular stent-grafts made from microdenier polyester with nitinol wire. The scan includes the claims, a description of the shed and warp-displacement steps, shuttle and mandrel designs, an example, and 23 sheets of patent drawings. It also includes the printed two-column patent text.
