Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere!
Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere! The medical field has many uses for conductive textiles. Conductive metalized textiles act as sensors, measuring vital functions such as brain waves, and temperature. Hospital beds become smart, sensing a patient leaving the bed. Pressure sensing buttons summon nurses to the patient's room when necessary. These even detect wetness of the bedding! Metalized textiles are useful in physical therapy as electrodes applying current to stimulate muscles or nerves as...

Who uses Conductive Metalized Textiles-Everyone!
Who uses Conductive Metalized Textiles-Everyone! Until I came to work at V Technical Textiles, Inc., I didn't know anything about them. Today, I am amazed at the number of ways metalized textiles are involved in our lives. One of the first uses of them made it possible for me to listen to an FM radio in my car! I recall FM radios seemed particularly sensitive to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and were not easy to listen to. This due to...

Metalized Textiles-What are their Uses?
Metalized Textiles-What are their Uses? Metalized textiles were first used in various Shielding Applications. I can remember when an automobile FM radio mainly played static! Metalized textiles played a major role in protecting the radio from RFI from the other electronic components in the vehicle. The antenna brought in shielded clean signals to the RF shielded radio which were sent out to the speakers, allowing the music to be heard as it was meant to be heard. ...

Computer/Digital Forensics-Analysis of Digital Evidence!
Computer/Digital Forensics-Analysis of Digital Evidence! The terms Computer Forensics and Digital Forensics are often used interchangeably. Technically, computer forensics refers to the investigation of computers. Digital Forensics refers to the investigation of ALL digital devices. In the real world, Digital Forensics is probably the more accurate name. Digital data storage is a component of almost all criminal activities investigations. Evidence is often hidden in computers, cell phones, flash drives, and even in cameras! Criminals are often painstaking in their data...

Rough Conditions Require Rugged Textiles!
Rough Conditions Require Rugged Textiles! Conductive textiles are thin and lightweight. Normally, these are excellent characteristics for many of their uses. Metalized textiles are used in many electronic devices for shielding. Electronic technology is becoming smaller all the time. Shielding solutions must be flexible and adaptable to fit in tight spaces. However, there are times that rugged characteristics are important. Due to their fine structure, conductive textiles are usually not particularly durable. The delicate nature of these shielding giants...
