  • Patent number: 8344898
    Abstract: A liquid level sensing device for sensing liquid in a container. The liquid level sensor has a housing with a power source and an alarm. A first reference surface is positioned on the housing and cooperates with a top surface of a container when the liquid level sensor is initially positioned on the container. A sensor extends from the first reference surface. A positioning member is provided on the liquid level sensing device and cooperates with the container to provide a reference to allow the liquid level sensing device to be accurately moved from the initial position to other predetermined positions relative to the container to allow a user to fill the container with one or more liquids to the desired level. A reservoir portion may be provided on the liquid level sensing device for storing and dispensing a liquid.

  • Patent number: 8339269
    Abstract: A liquid level sensing device for sensing liquid in a container. The liquid level sensing device has a base and a rotatable member which extends from and is rotatable relative to the base. A cord extends from the rotatable member and has a sensor provided at a free end thereof. The sensor may be accurately positioned at various heights relative to a bottom of the container to allow a user to fill the container with the liquid to the desired level. An alarm and a signal transmitter are provided in electrical communication with the sensor, such that as a liquid is introduced to the container, the alarm and the signal transmitter will be activated when the level of the liquid reaches the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20100241094
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an absorbent article which has an outer cover, an inner absorbent material and a sensing system. The sensing system has a measuring device, a monitoring area and a warning device. The monitoring area has a plurality of conductors which are in electrical engagement with the measuring device. The conductors of the monitoring area are spaced apart to sense if an insult has occurred and to sense the size of the insult. A warning device is electrically connected to the measuring device. The warning device provides information to the caregiver regarding the occurrence and size of the liquid or solid insult.
