Abstract:
A system comprising: a conductive textile including conductive fibers (8), an electronic circuit unit (10) arranged on a first main surface of the conductive textile and including circuitry and a carrier (12) supporting the circuitry, the carrier having a first main surface and a second main surface facing the first main surface of the textile and including a through-hole (18) extending from the first main surface to the second main surface, a conductive pin (22) including an leg segment (24) arranged at least partly in the through-hole, and a grip segment (26) arranged to grip about at least one fiber (3,8) of the conductive textile.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a textile motherboard (TMT) that can be used in, inter alia, clothing, coats, and dressings gowns, and which includes at least one central processing unit (CPU) or a peripheral or a combination of both, for monitoring, reporting and controlling parameters of the wearer. The clothing can be used or worn by a human or non-human user. The textile of the clothing serves as a substrate for forming the TMT. The TMT can have multi-layer structures and VIAs (vertical interconnect access). The traces of the TMT are formed of textile material that can transmit signals between the CPU and information storage means, or the combination with the peripheral(s). The layers, traces and VIAs are incorporated using known textile-handling techniques such as weaving, stamping, or same can be printed onto the textiles. Each component is modular and interchangeable, and is connected to the TMT using textile connectors that can be clips, hooks or similar elements. The TMT, the CPU and the peripherals are washable. The CPU and each peripheral can be mounted on rigid or flexible textile boards or PCBs (printed circuit board), using discrete electronic or photonic elements. The CPU includes a micro-controller, a micro-processor or a comparable element. The peripherals include photonic transducers or electronic transducers, or a combination of both, such as, inter alia, capacitive sensors, pulse meters, humidity sensors, thermometers, accelerometers, gyroscopes. The peripherals also include: screens; modules for serial communication via radio frequency (including, inter alia, Bluetooth, Zigbee technology), Wi-Fi; and similar elements.
