Abstract: In a base fabric (2) having a front surface (F) and a back surface (B) at mutually opposite sides with respect to a median lying plane (P), weft yarns (4a, 4b, 4c) interlace with warp yarns (3) at respective interlacing points (IPa, IPb, IPc) at which the weft yarns cross the median lying plane (P) to override at least one of the warp yarns. At least one functional thread (5) extending along a pre-established pattern at the back surface (B) of the base fabric (2), without crossing the median lying plane (P), and is linked with the weft yarns (4a, 4b, 4c) at stitching points (SP) positioned between the median lying plane (P) and the back surface (B) of the base fabric (2), so that the stitching points (SP) are not visible from a front surface (F) opposite to the back surface (B).

Abstract: A dual band transponder comprises a carrier substrate having at least one planar substrate layer. An ultra-high frequency loop antenna is mounted on a first surface of one of the planar substrate layers of the carrier substrate. A high frequency loop antenna is mounted on two opposite surfaces of one of the planar substrate layers of the carrier substrate. The ultra-high frequency loop antenna encloses the high frequency loop antenna in a plane parallel to the at least one planar substrate layer entirely. A textile label includes a textile label substrate and a corresponding dual band transponder mounted onto the textile label substrate.

Abstract: A fall detection device (10) which comprises two identical housings (11), each containing an identical pressure sensor (12) housed within a suitable recess (13) of the corresponding housing (11). The housings (11) are mounted on a printed circuit (14) using electrical connection pins (15). The two sensors (12) are arranged coaxially head to foot and communicate directly with the ambient air in order to output a measurement of the atmospheric pressure value. The sensors are arranged so as to generate a signal based on the measurements utilized for detecting a fall, and comprise a unit for transmitting the signal to a transmission station as an alarm signal.
