Abstract: A bio-sensor device for the electrochemical detection of a bacterial pathogen, the device including a sample chamber and an electronic data module. The sample chamber includes passive sensing probes to detect pathogenic antigens in a sample containing the bacterial pathogen. The probes detect a reaction voltage corresponding to an antigen-antibody reaction occurring when the pathogenic antigens come into contact with an antibody specific for pathogenic antigens present in in the contents of the sample chamber and contacted by the electrical probes. The electronic data module detects and processes electrical signals detected by the conductive electrical probes corresponding to an amount of the antigen present in the sample, wherein the reaction voltage is detected at the time of the reaction.

Abstract: A device confirms the presence of liquid via signals received from a sensor. The device provides for the confirmation of the presence of liquid in a sleeping or resting environment. The detection and alerting of unintended liquid present in a sleeping environment alerts a third party to the presence of such liquid by remote means. The device is further enabled to detect a liquid pattern change over time.

Abstract: Rare earth ceramic pigment luminescent nano-particle photon markers are mixed in specific proportions within cellulose slurry and extruded to form trace fiber strands. The trace fiber strands are processed into slivers and are blended with a base fiber or fibers at specific concentration levels. The number and proportion of different photon markers and their concentration levels within the yarn, thread, cloth, fabric, textile or garment generate specific photonic response signatures when examined under a spectrophotometer reader. Signatures may be assigned representing provenance, base fiber identification, base fiber concentration, the manufacturer, and/or other data throughout the manufacturing and supply chain of a finished product.

Abstract: A disposable container for use with a system for dispensing a predetermined amount of a liquid. The container is filled with a dry beverage or the like and sealed, and has printed thereon using a metallic ink a plurality of lines or rings, each configured to generate a distinctive response to an imposed electromagnetic signal as a data bit detectable by a sensor proximate to the container. The sensor outputs to a processor a plurality of bits as a series of sequential bits. The processor initiates an action based on the sequence of bits.
