    Abstract: A wearable power harvesting system includes a knitted fabric rectenna including an antenna adapted to receive radio-frequency energy within a desired frequency band and a rectifier circuit that converts received radio-frequency energy into a DC current and voltage. A knitted fabric load/storage unit stores DC power from the rectifier circuit. The power harvesting system is adapted to harvest the radio-frequency energy within the desired frequency band, which may include WLAN frequencies such as the standard 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN standard frequencies.

    Abstract: A planar (two-dimensional, XY location) touch sensor may include a knitted structure and supplementary method of sensing detects human touch on a fabric surface. This sensor may be fully knitted and detect the continuous planar location and contact force of human touch along the surface of the structure. The fabric may conform to any arbitrary surface and may be a rectangle for touch pad applications. This sensor may be used for applications that include robotics and human-machine interaction, smart garments and wearables, as well as medical textiles and flexible embedded sensors. This touch sensor may require as few as only two electrode connections from the fabric to sense both planar touch and pressure, which allows it to work in areas with limited space that allow for limited complexity for wiring.

    Abstract: Knitting machines are used to intermesh conductive yarns into loops resulting in knitted fabrics. The knitting machine is adapted to import different types of yarns (conductive and non-conductive) directly into the knit structure. Combining conductive yarns and knitting systems allows for integration of electrical or mechanical component designs into existing clothing fabrication processes, avoiding current limitations of attaching or gluing conductive fabrics or other components over various materials. Starting with a planar design of an antenna, RFID tag, or some other electronic structure, the layout is converted into a CAD knitting program including a grid representing stitches. The CAD specifications of the final design/product are exported to the knitting machines so that the knitting machine may make conductive fabrics in accordance with the CAD specifications. The conductive fabrics are knitted into a variety of garments that monitor the vital signs of the wearer, including the fetus of an expectant mother.
