摘要:
A garment can be manufactured by bonding an adhesive to a first layer of fabric and a second layer of fabric. Holes are cut into each layer of fabric to accommodate the integration of sensors and a processing unit mount. Conductive thread embroidered onto a support layer is bonded to the adhesive of the second layer of fabric. The support layer is removed such that the conductive thread remains bonded to the adhesive. The layers of fabric are bonded together such that the conductive thread is coupled between the two layers of adhesive. A back plate is added to the layers of fabric to provide structural support for the mount. The conductive thread is exposed within each hole, and the mount and sensors can be coupled within the holes such that an electrical connection is established between the mount and at least one sensor via the conductive thread.
