摘要：
A garment is provided prepared from a smart fabric, wherein the smart fabric contains:
one or more devices providing satellite positioning measurement, accelerometer measurement, or both, conductively coupled to a battery or other DC power source, and in additional embodiments, the smart fabric contains a conductive composite yarn/sewing thread,
wherein the conductive composite yarn/sewing thread has:
a) a core formed of at least two strands of a conductive metal of 40 or higher gauge, wherein the at least two strands of conductive metal are configured such that one strand is wrapped around the other strand at a wrap rate of from 1 to 50 turns per inch (tpi); wherein the wrapped strand is preferably a ground wire, and
b) at least one inner cover wrapped around the core in a first direction at a rate sufficient to provide substantially complete coverage of the core by the inner cover;
c) at least one outer cover wrapped around the at least one inner cover, wherein the outer cover is wrapped in a second direction opposite to a direction of a cover layer on which the outer cover is directly wrapped, at a rate sufficient to provide substantially complete cover of the cover layer on which the outer cover is directly wrapped; and
d) at least one bonding agent; and
e) optionally, a lubricant,
and optionally further including one or more biometric sensors.
