  • SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING MOISTURE AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20230393237
    Abstract: A system for detecting moisture including: moisture sensors and a control module including a reader module, the control module is configured to: obtain a numerical value related to the feature of the selected response signal of the sensor element which is shielded against liquid; obtain a numerical value related to the feature of the selected response signal of the sensor element which is not shielded against liquid; determine a difference between the obtained numerical value related to the feature of the selected response signal from the sensor element which is shielded against liquid and the obtained numerical value related to the feature of the selected response signal from the sensor element which is not shielded against liquid; determine the detection of moisture if the determined difference is above or below a threshold. A method of detecting moisture is also provided.

  • Moisture sensors
    Patent number: 11361651
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a moisture sensor. The moisture sensor includes at least one non-shielded sensor element having at least an antenna and an element made of a liquid absorbing material, the material being configured to drive liquid to the antenna when liquid is in contact with the material; at least one shielded sensor element having at least an antenna and an element made of a non-conducting liquid proof material. The moisture sensor may be included in a system for detecting moisture.
