  • Patent number: 11943863
    Abstract: An electronic textile system and a docking assembly for the electronic textile system. The system includes a textile substrate, an input device attached to the textile substrate, and a docking assembly attached to the textile substrate for removably receiving a controller device. The docking assembly includes a first electrical interface for mating with a second electrical interface of the controller device. The system includes an electrical conductive pathway network integrated in the textile substrate for electrically coupling the input device and the first electrical interface. The input device may transmit to the controller device electronic signals representing input data when the controller device is received by the docking assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230045382
    Abstract: An electrical connector is provided. The electrical connector is to be attached to a cloth in which a conductive pattern is formed. The electrical connector includes an insulating housing having a boss portion provided on a surface of the housing, where the surface is to be in contact with the cloth, and the boss portion is inserted into the cloth; a connection terminal provided to the housing; and a conductive pad provided around the boss portion on the surface of the housing, where the surface is to be in contact with the cloth, and the conductive pad is electrically connected to the connection terminal. The conductive pad has a protrusion protruding in the same direction as the boss portion of the housing protrudes.

  • Publication number: 20230000379
    Abstract: A garment cuff for detecting physiological data. The garment cuff includes: an elongate band having a first region and a second region and defining an adjustable loop for receiving a user limb based on the first region being positioned proximal the second region. The garment cuff includes a stiffener member coupled to the first region to define a substantially rigid base and a sensor panel affixed to the substantially rigid base on a user limb facing side of the first region. The garment cuff includes a fastener coupled to the elongate band and configured to position the sensor panel against the user limb with substantially consistent pressure.
