Publication number: 20130160183Abstract: A textile arrangement that includes at least one flexible circuit board integrated with a textile and a fixedly-integrated electronic component in the flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board includes a flexible and/or tensile substrate, which is configured to bend and/or stretch at least in one direction. In addition, the flexible circuit board includes at least one electrically-conducting trace, at least one end of the trace being coupled with the component. The electrically-conducting trace is configured to bend and/or stretch with the flexible and/or tensile substrate of the circuit board at least in said one direction, when the circuit board is bent and/or stretched.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2011Publication date: June 27, 2013Inventors: Akseli Reho, Heikki Jaakkola, Antti Perko

Patent number: 7152470Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an outfit for measuring of action of muscles of body, in which method electrical signals created by active muscles are measured with a measuring device and a response from action of muscles is given with a response device with a signal perceptible to a user. In the method in accordance with the invention electrical signals of muscles at various points of the body and/or limbs are measured with one or more measuring devices attached and connected to one or more outfits, the functioning of various muscles is monitored and the information is processed in measuring devices. In the outfit in accordance with the invention there are one or more measuring devices integrated for measuring the electrical signals created by the muscles, for monitoring the action, for processing the information, and the outfit includes a response device for giving response.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2004Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignees: Mega Elektroniikka Oy, Suunto OyInventors: Jussi Impiö, Tapio Karinsalo, Akseli Reho, Arto Remes, Pekka Tolvanen, Elina Välimäki

Publication number: 20060098772Abstract: The invention relates to a method (800), a sytem (100) and a device (102) for measuring the number of laps and/or the distance covered by a person during his/her performance. The invention relates particularly to a distance meter (102) to be worn by the user, which measures the distance covered by the object and comprises a magnetic sensor (212) for determining the direction of a magnetic field (304) external to the sensor relative to the sensor (212). The distance meter (102) to be worn by the user in accordance with the invention also comprises a counter (207), whose value is increased when the measured deviation of the magnetic field exceeds a preset limit, i.e. in the situation where a fitness trainer following a given track turns and starts moving into another direction on the track.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2003Publication date: May 11, 2006Applicant: CLOTHING PLUS OYInventors: Akseli Reho, Tapio Karinsalo

Publication number: 20030184575Abstract: The invention relates to a wearable display means (202) of projector type and to a garment (700). The invention relates specifically to a miniature projector (202), which is worn by the user and whose application is compatible with wearable electronic data processing systems (220, 222, 224). One concept of the invention is to project the electronic information generated by wearable electronic devices (220, 222, 224) connected to the projector (202) in the user's field of vision by means of the projector (202). The projector (202) of the invention is equipped with a matrix consisting of at least one Resonance Cavity LED or a micro-mirror and with electronics (300) and optics (314) necessary for projecting. The projector (202) and the electronic devices (220, 222, 224) are integrated in the garment (700) of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2003Publication date: October 2, 2003Inventors: Akseli Reho, Jussi Impio
