    Abstract: Methods and system for detecting wear in imaging devices. The system includes an outer wearable layer. An inner layer fused to the outer layer. The inner layer is made of multiple microcapsules including odiferous oils. Wearing off of the outer layer, over time, exposes the inner layer. Subsequently, with added pressure on the inner layer, the microcapsules crack, giving off a particular scent. By detecting the smell, customers can identify worn components of the imaging devices.
