Publication number: 20210339086Abstract: An athletic garment includes sensors at different locations of the garment. The sensors are electrically coupled to a processing unit and/or a power source via one or more conduits that are printed onto the garment. The conduits are designed for improved flexibility to accommodate stretching in the garment that occurs as a user wearing the garment performs an exercise and for improved durability to resist corrosion due to friction, sweat, or washing of the garment. In one embodiment, the conduits are designed for decreased stress concentrations at seams of the garment. In one embodiment, the conduits are designed to create a conductive pathway between different surfaces of the garment to electrically couple sensors on a first side (skin side) of the garment and a processing unit and/or a power source on a second side (outer side) of the garment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: James Artel Berg, Wesley Groom, Liang Yao, Hamid Hameed Butt, Anna Asnis, Dhananja Jayalath

Patent number: 10925540Abstract: A garment can be manufactured by bonding an adhesive to a first layer of fabric and a second layer of fabric. Holes are cut into each layer of fabric to accommodate the integration of sensors and a processing unit mount. Conductive thread embroidered onto a support layer is bonded to the adhesive of the second layer of fabric. The support layer is removed such that the conductive thread remains bonded to the adhesive. The layers of fabric are bonded together such that the conductive thread is coupled between the two layers of adhesive. A back plate is added to the layers of fabric to provide structural support for the mount. The conductive thread is exposed within each hole, and the mount and sensors can be coupled within the holes such that an electrical connection is established between the mount and at least one sensor via the conductive thread.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Mad Apparel, Inc.Inventors: James Artel Berg, Hamid Hameed Butt, Liang Yao, Gaston J. MacMillan, J. M. Hasitha B. Jayasundara

Publication number: 20180279951Abstract: An athletic garment includes connective segments that compensate for motion of an athlete wearing the athletic garment. Right and left connective segments couple right and left arm segments of the garment to a torso segment, respectively. Thus, the connective segments may overlay the armpit areas of the athlete. The connective segments are composed of an elastic material such that as the athlete raises the arms of the athlete, there is minimal or no shifting of the torso segment. Further, the garment includes sensors that contact the skin of the athlete and generate physiological data such as activation levels of the athlete's muscles. Due to the movement compensation provided by the connective segments, sensors located on the torso segment may not shift as much while the athlete is performing exercises, which can allow the sensors to generate more reliable and accurate physiological data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2017Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Anna Asnis, James Artel Berg, Hamid Hameed Butt
