Abstract: A system of fabric-based devices designed as transistors with tri-state behavior that can measure any geometries on 2D and 3D surfaces. The devices are constructed from layers of conductive materials and flexible sheets that allow signals to selectively cross between layers. Multiple layers of conductive signals can be achieved by controlling the tension of the top and bottom thread, and interlayering conductive, semiconductive, insulating, and semi-porous materials around a sensing layer. The layers can be further modified to include folds and cuts that allow for 2D and 3D bending, stretching, twisting, and curves. Large sheets of devices can be organized into grid-like matrixes, with signal wires connected in a multiplexed fashion to minimize the amount of threads to simplify construction and device communication to a central processing unit.

Abstract: In various aspects, embodiments of the disclosure are generally directed to measuring static and dynamic forces of a body using sensors. In particular, a sensor may include a first layer serving as a flexible support material; a second layer on the first layer, the second layer serving as a sensing material; and a third layer on the second layer, the third layer comprising an insulating material. Further, the second layer and the third layer may be coupled using a first electrode comprising a first conductive thread and a first non-conductive thread. Additionally, the first conductive thread may be embedded in the second layer. Also, the first layer and the second layer may be further coupled using a second electrode comprising a second conductive thread and a second non-conductive thread, the second conductive thread may be embedded in the second layer.
