Wireless Energy Harvesting and Storage
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY Energy storing and harvesting textiles are currently being developed at Drexel University. Antennas are tuned to harvest or scavenge energy at 2.4 GHz from the WiFi frequency band. The antenna is fully knitted from conductive yarns on industrial knitting machines. The antenna is connected to a small circuit that can collect...

Two-Wire Knitted Capacitive Touch Sensor
PAGE TITLE Overview PAGE SUMMARY Previous designs of fabric-based touch sensors employ a large number of sensing electrodes to form a dense XY grid, which is impractical for many situations and increases the complexity and cost of all such sensors. This is because such sensor requires a correspondingly large number of connectors to connect each...
