Patent Images
1. A garment comprising:
- a textile layer;
a sensor coupled to the textile layer; and
an electrically conductive element coupled to the sensor and configured to transmit data from the sensor,wherein the electrically conductive element is arranged in a pattern and comprises a first section having a first repeating pattern and a second section having a second repeating pattern, the second repeating pattern being different than the first repeating pattern in at least one of frequency or magnitude, andwherein the second section is configured to be more flexible than the first section.
