The focus of this paper is on the development of a wearable electronic network that provides data and power transport. A materials and manufacturing survey was conducted to determine the best performing and most durable materials to withstand the rigors of textile manufacturing and potential military use. Narrow woven technology was selected as the most appropriate manufacturing method. A working wearable narrow fabric version of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) was successfully developed and fabricated as well as related wearable connectors. Military products developed include a personal area network and body borne antenna.
本文的重点是开发一种可提供数据和电力传输的可穿戴电子网络。开展了一项材料与制造调研，以确定能经受住纺织品制造的严苛条件以及潜在军事用途的性能最佳且最耐用的材料。窄幅编织技术被选为最合适的制造方法。成功开发并制造出了一个可工作的通用串行总线（USB）可穿戴窄幅织物版本以及相关的可穿戴连接器。所开发的军事产品包括一个个人区域网络和背负式天线。
