  • Publication number: 20230034369
    Abstract: A wound dressing system configured to determine an exudate uptake pattern of a wound dressing is disclosed. The wound dressing system comprises a wound dressing and a monitor device. The wound dressing comprises an absorbent core layer, a proximal electrode assembly comprising a first plurality of electrodes, and a distal electrode assembly comprising a second plurality of electrodes. The monitor device of the wound dressing system is configured to detect a short-circuiting event across a primary and a secondary electrode of the first/second plurality of electrodes. Further, the monitor device is configured to indicate an exudate uptake pattern of the wound dressing based on the short-circuiting events. Thereby, an optimum or improved use of the wound dressing is enabled and facilitated. Further disclosed is a sensor pack for a wound dressing system and a method for determining an exudate uptake pattern of a wound dressing.

  • Patent number: 10558901
    Abstract: A device for and a method of outputting a magnetic field which is selected according to the type of card reader into which the device is inserted. Different card readers have different reader head types and different number of reader heads, and different modes of outputting the magnetic field, usually with the same information contents, are selected in order to cater for different reader types. In one example, the sensing coils of different reader heads may have different angles to the swipe plane, so that different field line angles may be selected to adapt to the actual reader head.
