Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric (12) and to create a gap (66) in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands (80c). An insertion tool (54) may be used to align an electrical component (26) with the conductive strands (80c) during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections (82) may be located in grooves (50) in the electrical component (26). An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material (260) in the grooves (50) to encapsulate the solder connections (82). After the electrical component (26) is electrically connected to the conductive strands (80c), the insertion tool 854) may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool (220) may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.

Abstract: A system may include an electronic device (40) that communicates with one or more wearable tags (10). The wearable tags may be placed on different parts of a user's body or clothing and may be used for one or more health-related functions such as posture monitoring, sun exposure monitoring, physical therapy, running assistance, fall detection, and other functions. The wearable tag may have different types of sensors (18) that gather different types of sensor data depending on the health-related function that the wearable tag is being used for. A user may configure, control, and receive data from the wearable tag using an electronic device. The electronic device may be used to determine the location of the wearable tag on the user's body and to determine the desired health-related function for the wearable tag based on user input or based on sensor data gathered from the wearable tag.
