A snap fastener system includes a conductive first snap fastener portion in electrical and physical contact with a first electronic component, a second snap fastener portion, and a snap ring including tines mated to one of the first and/or second snap fastener portions and including one or more conductive insulation displacement tines which cut through the insulation covering a wire to be electrically coupled to the first electronic component.

Snap fastener system for e-textiles

A bussed haptic actuator system includes a plurality of haptic actuators and a master control subsystem. Each haptic actuator includes a memory with an address storable therein and a slave controller subsystem configured to control the actuator in response to a received command signal. The master control subsystem is connected via a bus to the plurality of haptic actuators. The master control subsystem includes sequencer configured to determine which of the plurality of haptic actuators are to be activated and logic configured to provide, on the bus, a command signal including one or more addresses corresponding to haptic actuators to be activated as determined by the sequencer.

Bussed haptic actuator system and method

A self-powered sensor system and sensing method includes a power source generating power which is a function of a first parameter such as vibration. A charge management circuit is responsive to the power output by the power source and is configured to provide, every charge cycle, a supply signal to a controller which activates it to control a transmitter to transmit data at a transmission rate which is a function of the charge cycle. The data and the transmission rate are processed and used to identify a variation in the first parameter by a variation in the transmission rate beyond a predetermined threshold.
