Abstract: The invention relates to a piezoresistive textile sensor for detecting the heart and respiratory rate, comprising a lower textile layer whereon a conductive ink or paste is deposited such that first conductive strips are defined, said lower textile layer being joined to a second piezoresistive textile layer whereon a second conductive strip is arranged, to which an upper textile layer is then joined, on which conductive inks and/or pastes can be deposited, said piezoresistive textile sensor being used in a system for detecting the heart and/or respiratory rate.

Abstract: A wired textile control and power supply system as a connection interface between a smart telephone (1) and an electronic textile (3), the connection interface system is a completely textile Universal Serial Bus (USB) On The Go (OTG) connection interface and is composed of textile circuitry and which comprises: (2a) a harmonized standard textile AB USB micro-connector from the mobile telephony industry and is connected (2b) to a textile cable which produces the USB OTG exchange of power supply and control, (2c) optionally USB textile circuitry for signal conditioning and (2d) a control and power supply connection cable to the electronic textile (3). The proposed invention does not require the additional electronics of a control system dedicated to the electronic textile, which makes it simpler, more comfortable and economic than any other alternative for communication between smart mobile telephone devices and electronic textiles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a large-area extensible pressure sensor for textile surfaces, of the type comprising a support on which a conductive ink is printed which can transmit a printed electrical signal by any known printing technique. More specifically, the pressure sensor is characterized in that said support is flexible, extensible and elastic, and a plurality of main tracks of extensible and elastic conductive ink or paste are printed on said support; on said plurality of main tracks a plurality of piezoresistive paste or ink depositions acting as pressure sensing points are printed, and each of these depositions are linked to a secondary extensible and elastic conductive ink or paste track, which is also printed on said support, resulting in all tracks, primary or secondary, being connected to a control system without crossing each other.

Abstract: The inventions relates to a torsion and/or tension and/or pressure textile sensor. The textile sensor is a resistive-type sensor consisting of: at least one base layer of fabric (1) comprising any composition and/or mixture and produced using any technique; optionally a surface treatment (2) in order to render the surface of the fabric (1) more uniform; a single conductive layer (3) having tracks distributed geometrically such as to define areas (31) sensitive to stresses from conductive fluids and an encapsulation and protective layer (4) on the conductive layer (3); optionally an upper fabric layer (5); and at least one signal converter (7) which is connected to the tracks, such that when one of the above-mentioned areas (31) is subjected to pressure, tensions or torsion a large variation in the resistance of said track is produced, which can be detected by the converter (7).
