  • Thermoelectric structure and use of the thermoelectric structure to form a textile structure
    Patent number: 8383926
    Abstract: The thermoelectric structure is formed by a network of wires oriented substantially in a weft direction of the structure. It comprises first and second conducting wires of different kinds, interwoven to form cold and hot junctions distributed respectively in a top plane and a bottom plane. The junctions are alternately cold and hot along any one conducting wire. The thermoelectric structure comprises at least one high dielectric wire in the top plane, and at least one low dielectric wire in the bottom plane. The dielectric wires are interwoven with the first and second conducting wires so as to keep the top and bottom planes at a distance from one another.
