Abstract:
A fabric connector for sensing object proximity is provided. The fabric connector comprises a sensing layer (23), an insulating layer (22) and a yarn (26). The sensing layer has at least one connection region (233a, 233b, 233c, 233d) and a disconnection region. The at least one connection region (233a, 233b, 233c, 233d) has a capacitance value and is formed with conductive fabric. The insulation layer (22) which is formed with insulating fabric is disposed below the sensing layer (23). The yarn (26) is formed with conductive material and is configured to electrically connect to the at least one connection region (233a, 233b, 233c, 233d) of the sensing layer (23) and a sensor (25). The sensor (25) senses a variation in the capacitance value of the at least one connection region (233a, 233b, 233c, 233d) in accordance with object proximity.

Abstract:
A textile is formed from interwoven electrically conductive and non- conductive yarns to provide an array of connection points on one or both surfaces of the textile, facilitating the connection of electronic components to the surface of the textile, in an array. The textile comprises a multi-layer warp having electrically conductive and non-conductive yarns and a weft having electrically conductive and non-conductive yarns. At least some of the electrically conductive weft yarns cross selected electrically conductive warp yarns without electrical contact therebetween by being separated from the electrically conductive warp yarns by at least one non-conductive warp yarn in each layer of the multi-layer warp. Loops formed by the electrically conductive weft yarns provide electrical connection points together with proximal portions of electrically conductive warp yarns.
Abstract:
Processes for manufacturing printed wiring boards including electrically conductive constraining cores are disclosed. Several of the processes enable precise alignment of tooling holes used by tools to perform processes with respect to various panels and subassemblies used to form finished printed wiring boards. Modifications to Gerber files that can increase manufacturing yield and provide the ability to detect faulty printed wiring boards in a panelized array of printed wiring 'boards are also discussed. One embodiment of the invention includes aligning the weave of a woven panel of electrically conductive material relative to a tool surface using at least a pair of references and forming tooling holes in the panel of electrically conductive material.
