    Abstract: The present invention concerns a textile motherboard (TMB) employable in garments, tablecloths, gowns, etc. that incorporates at least a central processing unit (CPU) or a peripheral or a combination thereof, with the intention of monitoring, informing, or controlling parameters of interest. The garments may be utilized or worn by users (human or not). The textile of the garment is utilized as substrate to conform the TMB. The TMB may exhibit multiple-layer structures and VIAs (Vertical Interconnect Accesses). The routings of the TMB are conformed of textile material capable of transmitting signals between CPU and a means to register information or between the CPU and the combination of peripherals. Layers, routings, and VIAs may be incorporated into the TMB by using known textile manipulation techniques such as: knitting, weaving, stamping, perforating, or they may also be printed on the textiles. Every component is modular and interchangeable and connects to the TMB utilizing textile connectors such as snaps, hooks, or similar elements. TMB, CPU, and peripherals are washable. CPU and peripherals may be mounted on textile boards, as well as on rigid or flexible PCBs (printed circuit boards), utilizing discrete electronic and photonic elements. The CPU includes a microcontroller, a microprocessor, or a comparable element. The peripherals include photonic transducers or electronic transducers or combinations thereof such as: capacitive, pulse, humidity, temperature, accelerometers, and gyroscopes sensors. The peripherals also include screens, modules for serial communications, radiofrequency (including Zigbee technology, Bluetooth, etc.) and Wi-Fi, as well as similar elements.

    Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided with electronic components and electrical connectors coupled between the electronic components. A connector may be formed in a small gap between the electronic components. The connector may be a thin sheet of flexible conductive material with a conductive adhesive on one surface. The connector may be installed between the components using an applicator that is attached to the connector. The applicator may be a pull-tab liner having a first surface that is tacky and a second opposing surface that is non-stick. The applicator may have an extended portion that can be held by a technician while installing the connector. The connector may be installed by inserting the connector and applicator between the components, pinching the components against the connector and applicator, and removing the applicator by pulling the extended portion to peel the applicator from the connector.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a functional area of an electronic textile (100;200). The electronic textile comprises a textile substrate having a first plurality of conductors (108a-b;202a-d), a second plurality of conductors (104a-c;204a-d), and a plurality of capacitors (112;212a-p), each capacitor comprising a conductor from the first plurality of conductors (108a-b;202a-d) and a conductor from the second plurality of conductors (104a-c;204a-d), separated by a dielectric (103a), the capacitors (112;212a-p) being distributed across substantially an entire surface of the electronic textile, wherein each capacitor (112;212a-p) has a capacitance of at least 10 pF.The method comprises, for each of the capacitors, the steps of (a) applying (301) a voltage between the conductor from the first plurality of conductors associated with the capacitor and the conductor from the second plurality of conductors associated with the capacitor, (b) detecting (302) an electrical characteristic indicative of a capacitance of the capacitor, (c) evaluating (303) the detected electrical characteristic, and (d) determining (304) whether the capacitor is included in the functional area of the electronic textile based on the evaluation.As the method takes advantages of physical characteristics inherent in the electronic textile, such as the capacitors formed between conductors in the electronic textile, no electronic devices need to be arranged on the electronic textile to determine the functional area.
