CRI: Electronic Textiles for Wearable and Pervasive Computing

摘要建议：CNS 0454195PI：Thomas L.Martin机构：弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学(弗吉尼亚理工大学)计划：NSF 04-588简明计算研究基础设施标题：CRI：用于可穿戴和普及计算的电子纺织品弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的PI是新兴电子纺织品研究的领先者。目前，PI的团队正在手工编织带有嵌入式布线、传感器、致动器和处理元件的纺织品。该项目将购买一台电脑控制的60英寸工业织布机，一台15针刺绣机，以及一台可以处理新型纤维的软件控制缝纫机。这些收购将使实验纺织品的生产更快、更可靠；这些设备类似于工业设备，因此研究人员将获得制造需求的经验，并将他们的研究定位于未来对实践的影响。支持的研究包括用于健康监测、监测理疗、监测步态以及声音检测和定位的纺织品。

AbstractProposal: CNS 0454195PI: Thomas L. MartinInstitution: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech)Program: NSF 04-588 CISE Computing Research InfrastructureTitle: CRI: Electronic Textiles for Wearable and Pervasive Computing The PI at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is a leader in emerging research in electronic textiles. At present, the PI's team is handweaving textiles with embedded wiring, sensors, actuators, and processing elements. The project will acquire a computer controlled, 60-inch industrial loom, a 15-needle embroidery machine, and a software controlled sewing machine that can handle novel fibers. These acquisitions will enable faster and more reliable production of experimental textiles; the equipment is similar to industrial equipment so the researchers will both gain experience with manufacturing needs and position their research for future impacts on practice. The research supported includes textiles for health monitoring, monitoring physical therapy, monitoring gait, and sound detection and localization.
