An apparatus for providing multiple functions using nanotube threads comprising:
- a first nanotube thread and a second nanotube thread, the first nanotube thread and the second nanotube thread arranged to form a mesh;
- wherein the first nanotube thread further comprises a measurable invariant property and the second nanotube thread comprises a measurable variant property.
An apparatus for providing multiple functions using nanotube threads comprising:
- a first nanotube thread and a second nanotube thread, the first nanotube thread and the second nanotube arranged to form a mesh;
- wherein the first nanotube thread further comprises a invariant property and the second nanotube thread comprises a variant property;
- and
- the first nanotube thread adapted for transceiving a wireless signal, and the second nanotube thread adapted for detecting at least one ambient gas.
A method for providing multiple functions using nanotube threads comprising:
- interweaving a first nanotube thread and a second nanotube thread, the first nanotube thread and the second nanotube thread arranged to form a mesh;
- using an invariant property to perform a first function and using a variant property to perform a second function.
