A method of making articles from electrically active textiles. First and second fabric pieces include conductors therein. A seam is established between the first and second fabric pieces. A determination is made, at the seam, based on one or more predetermined factors, which conductors of the first fabric piece intersect or overlap with which conductors of the second fabric piece. At the seam, an electrical and mechanical connection is formed between select conductors of the first fabric piece and select conductors of the second fabric piece.

Method of making an electronically active textile article

A patient warming appliqu&#xe9; typically includes a cover layer, a tape layer for releasably securing the appliqu&#xe9; to the patient's skin and an array of encapsulated cells. The encapsulated cells include a chemical heating mechanism beneath the cover layer and a phase change gel sheet between the chemical heating mechanism and the tape layer. The phase change gel sheet is configured to melt and flow when the chemical heating mechanism is activated. The preferred appliqu&#xe9; further includes zones of weakness between the spaced cells allowing the individual cells or a subset of cells to be removed from the appliqu&#xe9;.
