Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

Design Consideration

Design Consideration

Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Background:

Wearable electronics offer significant potential for health monitoring, information display, and personal expression.
Textiles are ideal platforms for wearable electronics due to their inherent properties like softness and breathability.
Traditional fabrication methods for electronics are incompatible with the 3D structures of textiles, posing challenges for e-textile development.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop novel fabrication methods for creating conductive e-textiles suitable for wearable devices.
To maintain the desirable properties of textiles, such as softness and stretchability, in the final e-textile products.
To explore a textile-centric design approach that leverages the unique structural features of textiles for advanced e-textile devices.

Main Methods:

Solution-based electroless metallization was employed to deposit metallic coatings onto individual textile fibers.
The method ensures full permeation of the textile structure, preserving its inherent properties.
A textile-centric design strategy was used to create transparent conductive electrodes and stretchable battery electrodes.

Main Results:

Highly conductive, soft, and stretchable e-textiles were successfully fabricated.
Ultrasheer knitted textiles were utilized to create transparent conductive electrodes for stretchable light-emitting e-textiles.
Velour fabric structures enabled an "island-bridge" design for strain-protected, stretchable lithium-ion battery electrodes.

Conclusions:

Solution-based electroless metallization is a viable method for producing advanced e-textiles.
Leveraging textile structures offers new opportunities for designing innovative wearable electronic devices.
Future advances in e-textiles require understanding the interplay between textile structure and device requirements, alongside addressing durability and sustainability.
