Abstract: A battery-powered tracking component may be attached to a sterilization case. The tracking component may collect, store and transmit usage information associated with the sterilization case. The supplying of power to the tracking component may be temporarily stopped during autoclave processes. As the high temperatures and pressurized steam of autoclave processes may drain an active battery, the lifespan of the battery may be elongated by deactivating the battery during the autoclave processes. A temperature sensor may detect when the temperature of the sterilization case rises above a threshold indicating a start of the autoclave process, and when the temperature of the sterilization case falls below a threshold indicating an end of the autoclave process. The usage information may include a count of autoclave processes and durations of time periods between autoclave processes. The usage information may be used to determine times at which autoclave processes are performed.

Abstract: A communication system and a method of communication is disclosed. The system includes a receiver for receiving a signal from a transmitter that is associated with an item, and a processor arranged to infer based on parameters of the received signal a user's psychological state with respect to the associated item. The communication system include a display to display a corresponding image in dependence on the inferred psychological state.
