  • the various parts (FB, BB, LL, RL, RS and LS) of the garment in the resulting fabric from this weaving process can be folded and secured by any securing means, including but not limited to sewing, snaps, glue or VELCRO, as shown in Fig. 1 to create a garment, optionally having sleeves.
  • any securing means including but not limited to sewing, snaps, glue or VELCRO, as shown in Fig. 1 to create a garment, optionally having sleeves.
  • the base structure of the fabric preferably is a plain weave (other weaves, however, can be used depending on the application).
  • the warping sequence on the weaving machine (loom) is set for a "block weave” so that the desired groups of yarns can be dropped when necessary.
  • One feature of this design is that the filling can be inserted continuously without any breakages.
  • a loom that permits the production of such a woven garment is the AVL Compu-Dobby, a shuttle loom that can be operated both in manual and automatic modes. It can also be interfaced with computers so that designs created using design software can be downloaded directly into the shed control mechanism. Alternatively, a jacquard loom may also be used. Since a dobby loom has been used, the production of the woven fabric on such a loom will be described.
  • One loom configuration for producing the woven garment is:
  • woven garment in accordance with our present invention is not limited to using a weaving loom having 24 harnesses.

  • the information infrastructure component is capable of acquiring, processing and transmitting information from the subject to a local or remote monitoring unit.
  • the sensing component of the garment can include materials for sensing penetration of the garment, or one or more body physical signs, or both. These materials are woven or knitted during the weaving or knitting of the comfort component of the fabric. After fashioning of the garment is completed, these materials can be connected to a monitor (referred to as a "personal status monitor” or “PSM”) which will take readings from the sensing materials, monitor the readings and issue an alert depending upon the readings and desired settings for the monitor, as described in more detail below.
  • a monitor referred to as a "personal status monitor” or "PSM”
  • Materials suitable for providing the penetration sensing and alert component 24 include: silica-based optical fibers, plastic optical fibers, and silicone rubber optical fibers.
  • Suitable optical fibers include those having a filler medium which have a bandwidth which can support the desired signal to be transmitted and required data streams.
  • Silica-based optical fibers have been designed for use in high bandwidth, long-distance applications. Their extremely small silica core and low numerical aperture (NA) provide a large bandwidth (up to 500mhz*km) and low attenuation (as low as .5dB/km). However, such fibers are not preferred because of high labor costs of installation and the danger of splintering of the fibers.
  • Plastic optical fibers (POF) 24 provide many of the same advantages that glass (silica-based) fibers do, but at a lower weight and cost. In certain fiber applications, as in some sensors and medical applications, the fiber length used is so short (less than a few meters) that the fiber loss and fiber dispersion are of no concern. Instead, good optical transparency, adequate mechanical strength, and flexibility are the required properties and plastic or polymer fibers are preferred. Moreover, plastic optical fibers do not splinter like glass fibers and, thus, can be more safely used in the liner than glass fibers.
  • POFs have several inherent advantages over glass fibers.
  • POFs exhibit relatively higher numerical aperture (NA), which contributes to their capability to deliver more power.
  • NA numerical aperture
  • the higher NA lowers the POF's susceptibility to light loss caused by bending and flexing of the fiber.
  • Transmission in the visible wavelengths range is relatively higher than anywhere else in the spectra. This is an advantage since in most medical sensors the transducers are actuated by wavelengths in the visible range of the optical spectra.
  • POF offers similar high bandwidth capability and the same electromagnetic immunity as glass fiber.
  • POF can be terminated using a hot plate procedure which melts back the excess fiber to an optical quality end finish.
  • connection system can be a conventional connection system, allows for the termination of a node in under a minute. This translates into extremely low installation costs. Further, POFs can withstand a rougher mechanical treatment displayed in relatively unfriendly environments. Applications demanding inexpensive and durable optical fibers for conducting visible wavelengths over short distances are currently dominated by POFs made of either poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) or styrene-based polymers.
  • PMMA poly-methyl-methacrylate
  • styrene-based polymers are currently dominated by POFs made of either poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) or styrene-based polymers.
  • Silicone rubber optical fibers (SROF), a third class of optical fibers, provide excellent bending properties and elastic recovery. However, they are relatively thick (of the order of 5mm) and suffer from a high degree of signal attenuation. Also, they are affected by high humidity and are not yet commercially available. Hence, although these fibers are not preferred for use in the woven or knitted fabric, they can be used. Those fibers can be obtained from Oak Ridge National Lab, Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
  • the material preferably plastic optical fiber (POF) 24
  • POF plastic optical fiber
  • the POF does not terminate in the middle of the fabric and continues throughout the fabric without any discontinuities. This results in only one single integrated fabric and no seams insofar as the POF is concerned.
  • the preferred plastic optical fiber is from Toray Industries, New York, in particular product PGS- GB 250 optical fiber cord from Toray Industries.
  • the sensing component may consist of an electrical conducting material component (ECC) 25.
  • ECC electrical conducting material component
  • the electrical conductive fiber preferably has a resistivity of from about 0.07 x 10 "3 to 10 Kohms/cm.
  • the ECC 25 can be used to monitor one or more body vital signs including heart rate, pulse rate, temperature and blood pressure through sensors on the body and for linking to a personal status monitor (PSM).
  • PSM personal status monitor
  • Suitable materials include, but are not limited to, the three classes of intrinsically conducting polymers described below, doped inorganic fibers and metallic fibers.
  • ICP intrinsically conductive polymers
  • Electrically conducting polymers have a conjugated structure, i.e., alternating single and double bonds between the carbon atoms of the main chain.
  • polyacetylene could be prepared in a form with a high electrical conductivity, and that the conductivity could be further increased by chemical oxidation.
  • many other polymers with a conjugated (alternating single and double bonds) carbon main chain have shown the same behavior., e.g., polythiophene and polypyrrole.
  • the processability of traditional polymers and the discovered electrical conductivity could be combined.
  • the conductive polymers are rather unstable in air, have poor mechanical properties and cannot be easily processed. Also, all intrinsically conductive polymers are insoluble in any solvent, and they possess no melting point or other softening behavior. Consequently, they cannot be processed in the same way as normal thermoplastic polymers and are usually processed using a variety of dispersion methods. Because of these shortcomings, fibers made up of fully conducting polymers with good mechanical properties are not yet commercially available and hence are not presently preferred for use in the present invention, although they can be used.
  • Yet another class of conducting fibers consists of those that are doped with inorganic or metallic particles.
  • the conductivity of these fibers is quite high if they are sufficiently doped with metal particles, but this would make the fibers less flexible.
  • Such fibers can be used to carry information from the sensors to the monitoring unit if they are properly insulated.
  • Metallic fibers such as copper and stainless steel insulated with polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, can also be used as the conducting fibers in the woven or knitted fabric. With their exceptional current carrying capacity, copper and stainless steel are more efficient than any doped polymeric fibers. Also, metallic fibers are strong; they resist stretching, neck-down, creep, nicks and breakage very well.
  • metallic fibers of very small diameter (of the order of 0.1mm) will be sufficient to carry information from the sensors to the monitoring unit. Even with insulation, the fiber diameter will be less that 0.3 mm and hence these fibers will be very flexible and can be easily incorporated into the woven or knitted fabric. Also, the installation and connection of metallic fibers to the PSM unit will be simple and there will be no need for special connectors, tools, compounds and procedures.
  • a high conductive yarn suitable for this purpose is Bekinox available from Bekaert Corporation, Marietta, Georgia, a subsidiary of Bekintex NV, Wetteren, Belgium, which is made up of stainless steel fibers and has a resistivity of 60 ohm-meter.
  • the bending rigidity of this yarn is comparable to that of the polyamide high-resistance yarns and can be easily incorporated into the data bus in our present invention.
  • the preferred electrical conducting materials for the sensing component for the garment of the present invention are: (i) doped inorganic fibers with polyethylene, nylon or other insulating sheath; (ii) insulated stainless steel fibers; and (iii) thin copper wires with polyethylene sheath. All of these fibers can readily be incorporated into the garment and can serve as elements of an elastic printed circuit board, described below.
  • An example of an available doped inorganic fiber is X-Static coated nylon (T66) from Sauquoit Industries, South Carolina.
  • An example of an available thin copper wire is 24 gauge insulated copper wire from Ack Electronics, Atlanta, Georgia.
  • the electrical conducting component fibers can be incorporated into the woven or knitted fabric in two ways: (a) regularly spaced yarns acting as sensing elements; and (b) precisely positioned yarns for carrying signals from the sensors to the PSM. They can be distributed both in the warp and filling directions in the woven fabric.
  • the form-fitting component (FFC) 26 provides form-fit to the wearer, if desired. More importantly, it keeps the sensors in place on the wearer's body during movement. Therefore, the material chosen should have a high degree of stretch to provide the required form-fit and at the same time, be compatible with the material chosen for the other components of the garment. Any fiber meeting these requirements is suitable.
  • the preferred form-fitting component is SPANDEX fiber, a block polymer with urethane groups. Its elongation at break ranges from 500 to 600% and, thus, can provide the necessary form-fit to the garment. Its elastic recovery is also extremely high (99% recovery from 2-5% stretch) and its strength is in the 0.6- 0.9 grains/denier range. It is resistant to chemicals and withstands repeated machine washings and the action of perspiration. It is available in a range of linear densities.
  • SDC 28 The purpose of the static dissipating component (SDC) 28 is to quickly dissipate any built-up static charge during the usage of the intelligent garment. Such a component may not always be necessary. However, under certain conditions, several thousand volts may be generated which could damage the sensitive electronic components in the PSM unit. Therefore, the material chosen must provide adequate electrostatic discharge protection (ESD) protection in the woven or knitted fabric.
  • ESD electrostatic discharge protection
  • NEGA-STAT a bicomponent fiber produced by DuPont is the preferred material for the static dissipating component (SDC). It has a trilobal shaped conductive core that is sheathed by either polyester or nylon. This unique trilobal conductive core neutralizes the surface charge on the base material by induction and dissipates the charge by air ionization and conduction.
  • the nonconductive polyester or nylon surface of NEGA-STAT fiber controls the release of surface charges from the thread to provide effective static control of material in the grounded or ungrounded applications according to specific end-use requirements.
  • the outer shell of polyester or nylon ensures effective wear-life performance with high wash and wear durability and protection against acid and radiation. Other materials which can effectively dissipate static and yet function as a component of a wearable, washable garment may also be used.
  • connectors such as T-connectors (similar to the "button clips" used in clothing), can be used to connect the body sensors 32 to the conducting wires that go to the PSM.
  • T-connectors similar to the "button clips” used in clothing
  • the sensors themselves can be made independent of the garment. This accommodates different body shapes.
  • the connector makes it relatively easy to attach the sensors to the wires.
  • Yet another advantage of separating the sensors themselves from the garment, is that they need not be subjected to laundering when the garment is laundered, thereby minimizing any damage to them.
  • the sensors 32 can also be woven into the structure of a woven fabric.
  • the above yarn counts have been chosen based on initial experimentation using yarn sizes that are typically used in undergarments. Other yarn counts can be used.
  • the weight of the fabric of this embodiment is around 10 oz/yd 2 or less. While the above materials are the preferred materials for use in the production of our garment, upon reading this specification it will be readily recognized that other materials may be used in place of these preferred materials and still provide a garment for sensate care in accordance with our present invention.
  • the signal pulses are received by a receiver and an "acknowledgment" is sent to the PSM unit indicating that there is no penetration.
  • the signal pulses bounce back to the first transmitter from the point of impact, i.e., the rupture point.
  • the time elapsed between the transmission and acknowledgment of the signal pulse indicates the length over which the signal has traveled until it reached the rupture point, thus identifying the exact point of penetration.
