Losing the remote is less of a catastrophe these days with TVs that can be controlled using your phone or your voice, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement: Researchers at Purdue University have developed a way to turn any fabric into a simple electronic device, so your favourite sweatpants for binge-watching Netflix could also double as a wearable remote.
It’s actually not that challenging to upgrade a piece of clothing with electronic smarts.
Google and Levis made a smartphone controlling denim jacket a few years ago, and companies like Columbia have made jackets with integrated heaters.
The problem is they always need a power source, like a battery, that needs occasional charging, and if you want to wash them, you have to temporarily strip out most of the electronic components.
In other words, unless you never spill food, don’t sweat, and ignore fashion trends, they’re rarely worth the effort.
As detailed in a recently published paper in the Advanced Functional Materials journal, the Purdue researchers have come up with an alternate approach that lets any garment of your choosing be upgraded with electronics.
- A new addition to your wardrobe may soon help you turn on the lights and music - while also keeping you fresh, dry, fashionable, clean and safe from the latest virus that's going around.
Purdue University researchers have developed a new fabric innovation that allows wearers to control electronic devices through clothing.
"It is the first time there is a technique capable to transform any existing cloth item or textile into a self-powered e-textile containing sensors, music players or simple illumination displays using simple embroidery without the need for expensive fabrication processes requiring complex steps or expensive equipment," said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in the School of Industrial Engineering and in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering in Purdue's College of Engineering.
"For the first time, it is possible to fabricate textiles that can protect you from rain, stains, and bacteria while they harvest the energy of the user to power textile-based electronics," Martinez said.
"These self-powered e-textiles also constitute an important advancement in the development of wearable machine-human interfaces, which now can be washed many times in a conventional washing machine without apparent degradation.
Martinez said the Purdue waterproof, breathable and antibacterial self-powered clothing is based on omniphobic triboelectric nanogeneragtors (RF-TENGs) - which use simple embroidery and fluorinated molecules to embed small electronic components and turn a piece of clothing into a mechanism for powering devices.
ECUs are microcomputers or embedded systems that control the vehicular functions related to engines, infotainment systems, and ADAS using the data received from installed sensors and components.
Moreover, the rising consciousness among the consumers regarding the decrease in fuel consumption has led to a substantial increase in demand of electric vehicles.
These vehicles include numerous electronic components such as ECU to supplement the lower power consumption, enhanced driving experience, and higher vehicle performance.
Automotive Electronics Control Unit market is majorly segmented by the application and region wise.
