Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating haptic feedback over a surface of a haptic textile are disclosed. The flexible haptic structure includes a group of sensing circuits and a haptic textile. The sensing circuits, such as touch sensitive detector or motion detector, provide at least one activating signal in accordance with a sensed event. The haptic textile is structured with interlaced woven threads and/or yarns and capable of generating haptic feedback in response to the activating signal.
Abstract:
In an example, a system for forming a dust-mitigating fabric includes a warp-strand-delivery unit including warp strands. The warp strands include insulative-warp strands and conductive-warp strands. The system includes a plurality of heddles that receive the warp strands, and a plurality of harnesses coupled to the heddles. The dust-mitigating fabric has an adapter for receiving one or more phases of an electrical signal. The warp strands include a group of insulative-warp strands and one or more groups of conductive-warp strands. Each group of conductive-warp strands corresponds to a respective phase of the electrical signal. The harnesses move the groups of warp strands to form a shed, and move, on a group-by-group basis, each group of conductive-warp strands to facilitate forming the adapter. The system further includes a picking device to move a weft strand through the shed to form a fabric.

Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sensorgarn (10b) mit einem Fadenkern (11), um das schraubenförmig ein erster Leiter (12) sowie ein zweiter Leiter (13) gewickelt sind. Die beiden Leiter (12, 13) sind gegeneinander und gegenüber dem Fadenkern (11) elektrisch isoliert. Die beiden Leiter (12, 13) bilden mit dem Fadenkern (11) ein kapazitives Bauelement (15). Das Sensorgarn (10b) weist photosensitives Material (30) auf, so dass durch einfallendes Licht (L) eine Längenänderung bewirkt werden kann. Eine Längenänderung bzw. eine andere Verformung des Sensorgarns (10b) führt dazu, dass sich die Gesamtkapazität (CG) des Sensorgarns (10b) ändert, was durch eine Auswerteeinheit (17) ermittelt werden kann.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fibrous piezoelectric element which enables a large electric signal to be drawn out by stress produced by relatively small deformation. A piezoelectric element includes a braid composed of a conductive fiber and a piezoelectric fiber. In the braid, the conductive fiber is a core, and the piezoelectrsic fiber is a covering fiber that covers the periphery of the conductive fiber.
Abstract:
This document describes two-layer interactive textiles. In one or more implementations, the interactive textile includes a top textile layer and a bottom textile layer. Conductive threads are woven into the top textile layer and the bottom textile layer. When the top textile layer is combined with the bottom textile layer, the conductive threads from each layer form a capacitive touch sensor that is configured to detect touch-input. The bottom textile layer is not visible and couples the capacitive through sensor to electronic components, such as a controller, a wireless interface, an output device (e.g., an LED, a display, or speaker), and so forth.
Abstract:
A textile construct has a first fiber configured to convert one or more forms of ambient energy to an electrical potential. A plurality of second fibers are mechanically coupled with the first fiber to define a textile. An electrical connector operatively couples to the first fiber to convey the electrical potential to a complementarily configured electrical device. An energy-harvesting platform can have such a textile construct. The complementarily configured electrical device can be a platform accessory.
