Abstract

A material is provided that includes a first section for storing energy and a second section for releasing energy received from the first section in which the energy is preferably electrical energy that is used for one from among heat dissipation, heat generation, light emission and powering of an electric circuit. Ideally the material includes a third layer adapted to collect energy and convert the energy to electrical energy for storage in the first section. A fourth protection section is provided on at least one side of the material. The material can be formed of woven strips, laminated sections, or in coaxial sections that are woven together to form a flexible fabric material having at least one characteristic from among breathability, wickability, moisture resistance, moisture-proof, and stretchability.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 05 February 2007
1. A material, comprising: a first section configured to store energy; and a second section configured to release energy received from the first section.
2. The material of claim 1 further comprising a third section that obtains a charge to be stored in the first section or to be used by the second section.
3. The material of claim 1 wherein the material is formed of woven strips.
4. The material of claim 1 wherein the material is formed of laminated sections.
5. The material of claim 1 wherein the material is formed from woven coaxial sections.
6. The material of claim 1 further comprising at least one protective section formed on at least one side of the material.
7. The material of claim 1 wherein the first section is configured to store electrical energy.
8. The material of claim 1 wherein the first section is configured to receive ambient energy and to convert the ambient energy into electrical energy for storage in the first section.
