The fabrics with the multi-layered circuit include: a base layer; a first conductive pattern which is formed on the base layer; a second conductive pattern which is formed to intersect with the first conductive pattern at least in part; and an insulating pattern which is formed on an intersection portion which is a region where the first conductive pattern and the second conductive pattern intersect.
Abstract:
An ECG sensing apparatus and a method for removing a baseline drift in the clothing are provided. The ECG sensing apparatus filters ECG signals and filters a baseline drift noise which is caused by human body's motion and breathing. Accordingly, the baseline drift in the sensing apparatus is minimized even if there is a free motion.

Abstract:
A measurement method and apparatus for correcting a disturbance and an offset of a sensor simultaneously are described. The method includes applying a bias current to first and second sensors of a Wheatstone bridge type connected with each other as a differential structure, and measuring a voltage of the first sensor and a voltage of the second sensor. The method also includes applying a bias current to the first and second sensors in a direction opposite to the direction in the first applying, and measuring a voltage of the first sensor and a voltage of the second sensor. The method further includes calculating a final measurement value based on the measured voltages. Accordingly, the offset and the influence of the disturbance of the sensor can be simultaneously removed through one circuit, such that advantageous effects such as reduced complexity, reduced area/volume, and shortened correction time can be achieved.
