  • Patent number: 7154071
    Abstract: A device for transmitting electric signals detected by contact with the skin surface to an evaluating unit. The device has a stack of at least two layers of clothing (3, 7) with an electric path or electric line connection (4, 8) through each of the layers of clothing (3, 7). The lowermost layer of clothing (3) is provided with an electrode (2) contacting the skin surface of the body (1) of the wearer of the clothing and with an electrically conductive surface (5) on the side facing away from the skin surface. Each additional layer of clothing (7) stacked on the lowermost layer of clothing (3) is provided with an electrically conductive surface (6, 9) each on the underside and the top side. A carrying belt (11) is led over the stack of layers of clothing (3, 7) is provided with an electrically conductive surface (10), which faces the topmost layer of clothing (7) and which is connected to the evaluating unit (14) by means of an electric line (12).

  • Publication number: 20060267790
    Abstract: A modular system of electronic assembly units worn close to the body can be connected to a central supply module. At least one textile-supported supply line (1) leads to inductive interfaces, with which additional supply lines or electronic assembly units can be coupled, which likewise have at least one inductive interface. At least one portable supply module (6) has a power supply unit (9) and a control unit (10). The control unit (10) is designed such that it can assume a master function in respect to other coupled electronic assembly units, wherein the portable supply module (6) can be coupled via at least one inductive interface with the textile-supported supply line (1) such that it makes possible the power supply of the electronic assembly units (4) by the electronic supply unit (9) contained in the portable supply module (6).

  • Publication number: 20060122478
    Abstract: An occupational safety product and system has at least one contactless, especially capacitive measuring electrode (2) for detecting physiological parameters of the user of the occupational safety product makes possible the rapid and reliable adaptation of the electrodes at a defined distance from the skin surface. The measuring electrodes (2) are integrated for this, for example, directly in the rubber parts of the mask body of the breathing mask (1) or in the strap (3) of the mask. A reference electrode (33) and two contactless measuring electrodes (2) are connected to an evaluating unit (40) for ECG signals via electric lines (50).
