Abstract: The invention provides the present invention provides a faecal detection sensor for an absorbent article. The sensor includes a faeces-sensitive material that reacts to the presence of a constituent of faecal matter, wherein the sensor exhibits an electrical property that changes following the reaction of the faeces-sensitive material. In embodiments of the invention the faeces sensitive material is a material that reacts due to the presence of a sulfur-containing compound in faecal matter, such as metallic faeces-sensitive materials, or is a material that reacts with a faecal enzyme and/or other constituents of faecal matter, such as organic faeces-sensitive materials.

Abstract: A multilayered structure suitable as an electrode in a power source and a method of producing the same. The structure comprises a conductive laminar layer; and an enzyme layer containing an essentially dry enzyme capable of oxidizing or dehydrogenating carbohydrate material under suitable conditions. Because the enzymatic anode layer and the fuel containing layer are not interacting during the production and since they are kept latent during storage time, the power source will remain stable for extended periods of time, thus increasing the utility of the power source.

Abstract: A thin film structure, method of producing it and the use thereof. The thin film structure comprises a substrate with a thin conductive layer containing an oxidizing enzyme mixed with an electron transfer mediator. The thin layer is protected against wetting to allow for its storage in dry conditions and further being sufficiently porous to allow for immediate activation of the oxidizing enzyme when contacted with an aqueous solution. The thin film can be used as a cathode in electrochemical fuel cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a remotely readable sensor (22) for indication of usability condition of perishable products such as foodstuffs and medical drugs. The sensor incorporates an element responsive to the condition of the perishable product. According to the invention, the sensor (22) is placed inside the foodstuff package.

Abstract: A process for producing fibrous material, comprising a lignocellulosic material with phenolic or similar structural groups, and a signaling agent, said process comprising the steps of oxidizing phenolic or similar structural groups of the lignocellulosic matric to provide an oxidized fibre material, and directly, or via a tagging agent binding to the oxidized fibre material with a signaling agent which is capable of providing the lignocellulosic fibre material with properties foreign to the native fibre so that the fibres or products prepared therefrom can be detected. The signaling agent bonded to the fibres makes it possible to identify the product, trace it and to use it as a security/anti-counterfeit product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method non-damaging the package for noticing a change caused by a leakage, the oxygen content and/or deterioration of a product in the package by attaching an indicator to the packaging material using the dripping technique, which indicator indicates by discolouration a change in the conditions of the package. Further, the invention relates to a method for locating the package using the dripping technique by means of an identifier formed by the indicator attached to the package. The invention also relates to a package produced by the method mentioned above, as well as to a system for locating the package.

Abstract: Package (1) for decayable foodstuffs (2), consisting of a package material (3) and forming a mainly closed package space (4) and a mainly closed indicator space (5) for an indicator (6).
