Abstract: Various methods for detecting moisture in briefs compatible with high volume manufacturing are disclosed. The embodiments herein facilitate protection of the method of adding moisture sensing to a diaper, but could also be used to add sensing to pads and bandages. The primary design intent is optimal moisture detection and low per unit cost. Electrodes within a garment measure electrical properties of the electrodes to determine if the item has contacted moisture. The target moisture is urine, however, other sources and types of moisture can also be sensed. Additional analysis capabilities can be added by selecting particular electrodes or add materials that may react with chemical components of the moisture. Applications of the research Include monitor of incontinence using smart brief (e.g. diaper); monitor perspiration, bleeding, or failure of the protective garment; and monitoring exposure of an item to moisture, including but not limited to inanimate items.

Abstract: Provided is a game information analysis system which is operable to determine whether or not each game played on a gaming machine is a bonus game in order to evaluate a psychological state of a player. An analysis server 2012 of the game information analysis system 2001 receives game information from each slot machine 2014 and previously calculates a normal-time PO from transition of IN/OUT included in the game information in a predetermined period. Thereafter, from the transition of IN/OUT included in game information targeted for an analysis, a game whose PO has a large discrepancy with respect to the normal-time PO is extracted, and it is determined whether or not said game is a bonus game.
