Abstract: Described herein are functionalized garments that can be worn on the torso of a subject and can be configured with varying zones or areas of compressions and can provide increased signal-to-noise ratios and reduced motion artifacts in areas while allowing a substantially unimpeded freedom of motion.

Abstract: Examples of flexible thermoelectric generators (TEGs), systems thereof, and methods of manufacturing the flexible TEGs are presented. The TEG devices can be used for cooling or heating. The flexible configuration allows the TEGs to conform to a wide range of surface shapes. A flexible thermoelectric generator (TEG) includes thermoelectric (TE) legs in vertical voids of a foam and conductive connectors coupled to TE legs. The TEGs can be used for cooling or heating in, e.g., cushions, mattresses, garments, footwear, carpets, flexible wraps, coolers, containers, etc.

Abstract: Provided herein are multi-layered protective coverings, wearable multi-layered protective devices, and methods of using the multi-layered protective coverings and wearable multi-layered protective devices.

Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to methods for on-demand ink deposition processes for printing conductive inks on textiles. The disclosed methods can be used to fabricate various disclosed wearable textile electronic devices comprising a textile product, such as a textile garment, and one or more electronic component such as a vertical interconnect access device, resistive printed heater, and a meshed-patch antenna. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Abstract: Provided herein are flexible interconnects, systems containing one or more flexible interconnects, and textiles including one or more flexible interconnects.

Abstract: Optical fiber preforms can comprise a glass preform structure with an inner cavity. A powder can be placed within the inner cavity having an average primary particle size of less than about one micron. The powder can be in the form of an unagglomerated particles or a powder coating with a degree of agglomeration or hard fusing ranging from none to significant amounts as long as the primary particles are visible in a micrograph. Powders can be placed within a preform structure by forming a slurry with a dispersion of submicron/nanoscale particles within a cavity within the preform. In other embodiments, a powder coating is formed within a preform structure by depositing the powder coating directly from a reaction product stream. The formation of the powder coating can be formed within the reaction chamber or outside of the reaction chamber by flowing the product particle stream through a conduit leading to the preform structure. In additional embodiments, a powder coating is placed on an insert, e.g.
