20230000180 · 2023-01-05 ·

A garment system is provided, including: a main component configured to be worn by a user, the main component having a flexible display portion and a sensor; a detachable component configured to be detachably coupled to the main component; wherein the sensor detects when the detachable component is attached to, or detached from, the main component, and responsively triggers a change in imagery presented on the flexible display portion in response to said attachment or detachment of the detachable component.

Composite textile structure for sensing, activation, and signal network

Embodiments of the disclosure provide structures for sensing, activation, and signal networking in a composite textile. According to one embodiment, a composite textile can comprise an activation layer of a reactive yarn knit into a fabric. The reactive yarn can have at least one physical property that changes in response to a stimulus. A signaling layer of a first conductive yarn can be knit into the fabric with the activation layer. The first conductive yarn provides the stimulus to the reactive yarn. A sensing layer comprising second conductive yarn can be knit into the fabric with the activation layer and signaling layer. The second conductive yarn can provide a feedback signal corresponding to the stimulus provided by the first conductive yarn of the signaling layer.

Short-range conducted electrical weapon

A short-range conducted electrical weapon (“conducted electrical weapon”) may be configured to deploy electrodes having a minimum spacing when coupled to a target at short-range. The conducted electrical weapon may comprise a housing. The housing may comprise a target end opposite a grip end. The grip end may be configured to removably receive a cartridge. The cartridge may house two or more electrodes. The target end may comprise one or more activation buttons or terminals. In response to the activation buttons or terminals being activated, the electrodes may be launched from the cartridge in the grip end. The electrodes may be disposed in the cartridge at an obtuse angle relative to the placement of the opposite electrode. The obtuse angle may enable the electrodes to be deployed effectively at short range.

Form analysis system

Methods and systems for monitoring and measuring form. A form analysis system can include a flexible garment, a sensor array including two or more sensors positioned on portions of the garment such that at least two of the two or more sensors are positioned on garment such that they align with body parts of the wearer of the garment that are separated by a joint, a harness coupled to the sensor array, the harness having stretchable wiring for communicating signals generated by the sensor array, and a hub coupled to the harness and configured to receive signals from the sensor array, the hub including a transmitter to transmit received signals to a base station.

ELONGATED ELASTIC SEAM TAPE WITH ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR

The present invention relates to an elongated elastic seam tape comprising an elongated elastic conductor as well as to a method of manufacturing such an elongated elastic seam tape.

Functionalized garment and uses thereof

Described herein are functionalized garments that can be worn on the torso of a subject and can be configured with varying zones or areas of compressions and can provide increased signal-to-noise ratios and reduced motion artifacts in areas while allowing a substantially unimpeded freedom of motion.

Biosensing garment

Embodiments described herein relate generally to wearable electronic biosensing garments. In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises a biosensing garment and a plurality of electrical connectors that are mechanically fastened to the biosensing garment.
