Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing a diaper that has multiple moisture sensing elements on interior side of its bottom impermeable layer or on any surface of the top permeable layer. The moisture sending elements are made by spraying conductive ink on a moving sheet of either the bottom impermeable layer or the top permeable layer, before other layers of the diaper are attached. Spraying of conductive ink on the moving sheet causes parallel lines of conductive inks to be formed on the layer. The parallel lines of conductive ink run through the entire length of either of the layers and are designed to get connected with a detecting device. When a user urinates inside the diaper, the moisture causes a closed circuit between at least two of the parallel lines of conductive inks. These formations of closed circuits, between parallel lines of conductive inks, are detected by the detecting device.

Abstract: A motorized personal transportation article is described which transports a person by wearing a pair of power-assisted motorized shoes, wherein the shoes provide an increase in a user's walking speed in a forward walking action through supplementary motion of moving or propelling means based on an intended walking speed of the user, such that when a user's intended walking speed changes or when a user intends to substantially decelerate or immobilize, the speed of the supplementary motion can be adjusted before the step is completed. The sole of each of the shoes houses at least one plate coupled to moving or propelling means such as conveyor assemblies, and the moving or propelling means are designed to neutralize forces acting to disrupt the operation of the moving or propelling means during a forward walking action or the balance and comfort of the user.

Abstract: A remote incontinence detection/monitoring system is provided with its methods of operation and manufacturing. The system comprises a diaper embedded with markers that are each associated with a dedicated frequency. Each marker is operable to relay or reflect towards an external receiver, or absorb or interfere with the wireless signal tuned to its dedicated frequency that is emitted from an external transmitter. When in contact with liquid, a marker loses its ability to relay, reflect, absorb, or interfere with the wireless signal tuned to its dedicated frequency, indicating the diaper is saturated on the marker's spot. A method of manufacturing diapers embedding components for said system is provided wherein each diaper manufactured from a same roll of materials will be embedded with the same number of markers reacting to the same serial of pre-set dedicated frequencies with not a single frequency missing or repeating within each and every diaper.

Abstract: A system for sensing wetness in an ordinary diaper includes a disposable sensor unit which has a sensor strip and support structure. The sensor strip has electrical circuit with conductive elements as wetness sensors printed on the bottom surface of the strip, wherein a closed electrical circuit is formed when an amount of body fluid is present that subsequently triggers an alerting device. The support structure has multiple slots cut out on it to expose conductive elements to urine and also keeps the conductive elements at a specific height from the diaper's padding such that urine content retained by a soaked diaper do not raise alarms.

Abstract: “Incontinence detection system” is the title of our invention, described herein, which is designed to work along with any commercially available brief, for people having incontinence issues. The purpose of this complete incontinence management system is to provide a cost-effective solution by using sensor technology that automatically alerts caregivers to change the residents' diapers at precisely the right time. It uses a sensing system that wirelessly transmits individual wetness alerts to an application on a remote device. The system is ready for immediate use when detached from the soaked diaper, and brief changes are made at appropriate times offering the highest level of care to residents. The Pod allows for faster service delivery, less time spent in a wet brief, bringing great relief to residents and caregivers alike.
