    Abstract: It is disclosed a composite yarn structure (10) comprising: —a first element (15) comprising a coaxial flexible bi-component monofilament including a conductive component (20) and a thermoplastic component (30) exhibiting piezoelectric properties, —at least a second element (40) twisted around the first element (15), wherein the second element (40) has a lower elasticity with respect to the elasticity of the first element (15) such that, upon elongation of the yarn structure (10) in a first direction, the yarn structure (10) expands in a second direction, whereby the dimensions of the yarn are increased both in first and second directions to generate an additional force on said piezoelectric component of the first element.

    Abstract: A real-time motion capture system and garment includes a wearable activity monitor that may be a pair of denim jeans. The wearable activity monitor includes multiple sensors such as accelerometers, gyrometers, magnetometers disposed within the seams of the garment. A microprocessor and wireless transmitter) communicate the motion data to an external device. The microprocessor and wireless transmitter may be included within one of the seams. An elastically stretchable ribbon or a flexible ribbon such as a kapton ribbon or a ribbon formed of textile, electrically couples the sensors and microprocessor and is also disposed inside the seams and the components within the seam are coated with a waterproof coating. The external device can store the data or display and analyze the data real-time, and may communicate the data to a further electronic device.

    Abstract: A method for sealing a seam in a fabric provides for joining at least one piece of a stretchable, one-ply woven fabric to another fabric such as another stretchable one-ply woven fabric, and for sealing the seam with a strip of another piece of fabric with an adhesive laminated thereon. The stretchable one-ply woven fabric includes elastic and inelastic fibers. A seam is produced in which the fabric fibers adhere to the seam and do not pull back from the seam. Also provided is a method for forming a hem and sealing the hem with a strip of another piece of fabric, to produce a hem that is resistant to fiber slippage. The method is advantageously used to form denim and other garments from woven fabrics that include at least 65% natural fibers along with various elastomeric fibers.
