“…From ( 10), the 𝑉 𝑚 required to charge the load at voltage 𝑉 𝑜 with charging current 𝐼 𝑜 can be calculated with (11): In the equivalent circuit model shown in Figure 12a, the receiver side in the dashed block can be considered as a low di dt Class-E rectifier [30,31] with a sinusoidal voltage source of amplitude V m , a varying input inductance that equals L rx − M, and a battery load as shown in Figure 12b. The Q of the Class-E rectifier can be defined as in (6):…”

Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies have been adopted by many products. The capability of charging multiple devices and the design flexibility of charging coils make WPT a good solution for charging smart garments. The use of an embroidered receiver (RX) coil makes the smart garment more breathable and comfortable than using a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). In order to charge smart garments as part of normal daily routines, two types of wireless-charging systems operating at 400 kHz have been designed. The one-to-one hanger system is desired to have a constant charging current despite misalignment so that users do not need to pay much attention when they hang the garment. For the one-to-multiple-drawer system, the power delivery ability must not change with multiple garments. Additionally, the system should be able to charge folded garments in most of the folding scenarios. This paper analyses the two WPT systems for charging smart garments and provides design approaches to meet the abovementioned goals. The wireless-charging hanger is able to charge a smart garment over a coupling variance kmaxkmin=2 with only 21% charging current variation. The wireless-charging drawer is able to charge a smart garment with at least 20 mA under most folding scenarios and three garments with stable power delivery ability.

“…Wearable devices embedded in clothes are still not common in the market. Wearable devices embedded in clothes can provide a better way of sensing [4][5][6] because the sensor nodes can be distributed over more body areas than only the wrist. One of the challenges for smart garments is that the whole garment needs to be washable.…”

“…Further, the psychological distress of being distant from Earth and all that it represents (e.g., access to help, friends and family, and flora/fauna) can be substantial and may have an impact on crew dynamics, both increasing dependencies and feelings of closeness among the crew and exacerbating interpersonal issues (Stuster, 2021; Stuster et al, 2019). Research is currently underway to address some of the more pressing issues: autonomous health support for flight medical officers (including surgical interventions; (Panesar & Ashkan, 2018)), health‐monitoring and wearable sensors (Bellisle et al, 2020), AI‐assisted medical diagnostics, as well as onboard genetics and sequencing capacity (Castro‐Wallace et al, 2017; McIntyre et al, 2019) and health‐risk prediction models (Chancellor et al, 2018; Scott et al, 2020).…”

To expand the human exploration footprint and reach Mars in the 2030s, we must explore how humans survive and thrive in demanding, unusual, and novel ecologies (i.e., extreme environments). In the extreme conditions encountered during human spaceflight, there is a need to understand human functioning and response in a more rigorous theoretically informed way. Current models of human performance in space‐relevant environments and human space science are often operationally focused, with emphasis on acute physiological or behavioral outcomes. However, integrating current perspectives in human biology allows for a more holistic and complete understanding of how humans function over a range of time in an extreme environment. Here, we show how the use of evolution‐informed frameworks (i.e., models of life history theory to organize the adaptive pressures of spaceflight and biocultural perspectives) coupled with the use of mixed‐methodological toolkits can shape models that better encompass the scope of biobehavioral human adjustment to long‐duration space travel and extra‐terrestrial habitation. Further, we discuss how we can marry human biology perspectives with the rigorous programmatic structures developed for spaceflight to model other unknown and nascent extremes.

“…Wires were used in the astronauts’ suits in the Apollo missions; the suit weighed about 20 kg, and it was not comfortable to wear them due to wires all over their bodies . In recent years, various manufacturing methods including sewing, embroidery, weaving, knitting, coating, and printing have been practiced for integrating electronics into textiles .…”

In the contemporary world, wearable electronics and smart textiles/fabrics are galvanizing a transformation of the health care, aerospace, military, and commercial industries. However, a major challenge that exists is the manufacture of electronic circuits directly on fabrics. In this work, we addressed the issue by developing a sequential manufacturing process. First, the target fabric was coated with a customized ink containing lignin. Next, a desired circuit layout was patterned by laser burning lignin, converting it to carbon and establishing a conductive template on the fabric. At last, using an in-house-designed printer, a devised localized hydrogen evolution-assisted (HEA) copper electroplating method was applied to metalize the surface of the laser-burned lignin pattern to achieve a very low resistive circuit layout (0.103 Ω for a 1 cm long interconnect). The nanostructure and material composition of the different layers were investigated via scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Monitoring the conductivity change before and after bending, rolling, stretching, washing, and adhesion tests presented remarkable mechanical stability due to the entanglement of the copper nanostructure to the fibers of the fabric. Furthermore, the HEA method was used to solder a light-emitting diode to a patterned circuit on the fabric by growing copper at the terminals, creating interconnects. The presented sequential printing method has the potential for fabricating reliable wearable electronics for various applications, particularly in medical monitoring.
