  • Patent number: 7365031
    Abstract: A fabric including within its construction a first elongated electrical conductor crossed by a second elongated electrical conductor, the conductors being normally biased apart at a crossover point of said fibres with an air gap between them, whereby application of pressure in a direction substantially normal to a plane of the fabric causes the conductors to make contact. The fabric may be woven, knitted, non-woven or plaited. The fabric can be used as a pressure sensor, switch or other sensor.

  • Patent number: 5991922
    Abstract: A monitored static electricity dissipation garment which is to be connected to a voltmeter which is to display to the wearer of the garment the amount of static electricity that is on a human's body at any given instant. The monitor can be located separate from the garment or can be worn on the garment. When the monitor is worn on the garment, it is necessary that the human user wear electrically conductive boots that have electrically conductive soles which function to dissipate static electricity on an electrically conductive floor.
