Conductive Textiles help make Travelling Safe!

Conductive Textiles help make Travelling Safe!

Conductive Textiles help make Travelling Safe!  Planes, trains, and automobiles depend on conductive textiles in many ways.  They keep the driver or pilot aware of the engagement of safety restraints by the passengers before beginning the trip.  If you drive automobiles, you are well aware that there are sensors present in the steering wheel that determine if the driver is in proper position and paying attention to his surroundings.  If the car wanders in its lane, sensors notice this and...

Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn “Wires”!

Technical Embroidery-Conductive Yarn "Wires"!  Smart clothing requires durable conductive wires!  I'm asking you to "think outside the box" when it comes to the term "wire".  In the case of clothing a classic "metal wire" leaves quite a bit to be desired.  It is rigid and doesn't like the movements of the human body.  Flexing a metal wire leads to stress cracks, and ultimately failure of the wire.  Additionally, metal wires in clothing are not exactly "comfortable" for the wearer, we...

Conductive Metalized Textiles-Great Shielding!

Garments, Pouches, Shielding,-Conductive Textiles!

Garments, Pouches, and Shielding-Conductive Textiles!  The uses of conductive fabrics are many and varied.  Originally, the primary use of conductive metalized textiles was RF Shielding, allowing electronic devices to work together smoothly a shared electromagnetic environment.  All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation.  Depending on the frequency of the EMI/RFI, electronic devices can work together smoothly.  RF Shielding uses conductive textiles to block the offending frequencies that disturb normal function of a device.  Engineers love the flexibility of...
