Abstract: A textile fabric containing a first electrically conductive thread and a second electrically conductive thread is disclosed. In one aspect, the first electrically conductive thread and the second electrically conductive thread cross at a first crossover point, wherein the textile fabric further contains an electrical connector establishing an electrical connection between the first electrically conductive thread and the second electrically conductive thread. The electrical connector contains a first contact pad in electrical contact with the first electrically conductive thread, a second contact pad in electrical contact with the second electrically conductive thread, and a first stretchable electrical interconnection connecting the first contact pad with the second contact pad. The first contact pad and the second contact pad are provided at a location different from the location of the first crossover point. Methods for electrically interconnecting crossing electrically conductive threads of textile fabrics are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods are provided for manufacturing flat devices to be used for forming a shape-retaining non-flat device by deformation of the flat device. Based on the layout of a non-flat device, a layout of a flat device is designed. A method for designing the layout of such a flat device is provided, wherein the method includes inserting mechanical interconnections between pairs of elements to define the position of the elements on a surface of the non-flat device, thus leaving zero or less degrees of freedom for the location of the components. Based on the layout of a flat device thus obtained, the flat device is manufactured and next transformed into the shape-retaining non-flat device by means of a thermoforming process, thereby accurately and reproducibly positioning the elements at a predetermined location on a surface of the non-flat device.
