Each conductive strand could have a strand core, a conductive coating to the strand core, and an insulating coating about the conductive coating. The conductive strands may carry the signals created by the circuitry. 

 The strands of stuff may include non-conductive flat reed wire strands and conductive strands. Examples of materials which may be used for forming the insulator incorporate polyvinyl formal, polyester-polyimide, polyamide-polyimide, polyamide, polyimide, polyester, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, as well as other polymers.Strands may often be intertwined using weaving equipment, knitting equipment, braiding equipment, or other equipment for intertwining strands associated with material as noted in patent FIG. 5 further below.That may include circuitry that makes signals. 

The insulating coating are sometimes a relatively thin insulator such being an insulator with a thickness of less than 5 microns or other acceptable thickness.Conductive strands must also be compatible with the non-conductive strands in the fabric and should not type undesired short circuits with encircling structures. 

One of the goals is to have both non-conductive strands and conductive strands appear close in size (e. The strand cores can be formed from polymers such as para-aramids and aromatic polyesters (as examples)
