METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A KNITTED FABRIC COMPRISING A VERTICAL YARN FILAMENT

A method for manufacturing a knitted fabric embodying a basic knit, into which at least one functional yarn filament, such as an electrically conductive yarn filament, is incorporated as a vertical yarn filament (F3). The basic knit is formed from a first and a second yarn (F1, F2) using a plaiting technique. The vertical yarn filament (F3) is incorporated by a third yarn carrier (FF3) positioned, on a third yarn carrier rail located between respective yarn carrier rails for the first and the second yarn carriers (FF1, FF2), at a location at which the vertical yarn filament (F3) is to be incorporated. During formation of a sequence of stitch rows (MR1-MR7) using the first and second yarns (F1, F2), the first yarn (F1) is guided over the vertical yarn filament (F3) on a front side of the knitted fabric and the second yarn (F2) is guided over the vertical yarn filament (F3) on a back side of the knitted fabric.

Smart Clothing with Converging/Diverging Bend or Stretch Sensors for Measuring Body Motion or Configuration
20180008196 · 2018-01-11 · ·

This invention is smart clothing with stretch and/or bend sensors for measuring changes in a person's body configuration. This smart clothing has an elastic nonconductive layer onto which helical converging/diverging conductive pathways are printed using ink which is a mixture of elastic nonconductive material and conductive material. Changes in the transmission of electromagnetic energy through the pathway are analyzed to measure changes in the configuration of the person's body.

METHOD AND SYSTEM OF ATTACHMENT AND DETECTION OF ATTACHMENT OF A WEARABLE SENSOR TO CLOTHING MATERIAL
20180008195 · 2018-01-11 ·

A method and system of universal, secure attachment with attachment detection mechanism, of a wearable sensor-unit to any article of clothing worn around the body in order to measure vital signals of a person, such as motion, movements and activity levels. The method and system permits: reliable attachment to any article of clothing; an attachment in any position to clothing or fabric worn by a person; and detection for the wearable sensor attachment to an article of clothing to minimize false alarms.

FABRIC WITH STRETCHABLE SENSORS FOR SHAPE MEASUREMENT
20180010902 · 2018-01-11 ·

Disclosed embodiments provide a way to perform body measurements. A garment has a sensor module attached. The garment encompasses a body portion. The sensor module is stretchable and provides electrical data. The electrical data is based on an amount that the sensor module is stretched. The electrical data from the sensor module is collected. The collected electrical data is analyzed to determine a measurement for the body portion. A size for the body portion is calculated, based on the measurement. A second sensor module is attached to the garment. Electrical data from the second sensor is also collected and analyzed. A size for the body portion is further calculated based on the electrical data from the sensor module and the second sensor module. The sensor module and the second sensor module transmit data to a computing device using distinct, wireless transmitters.
