  • Publication number: 20130270141
    Abstract: A device for the detection of the fluid leakage of utilities or appliances includes a waterproof dam sheet and a moisture indicator. The moisture indicator includes two sheets, between which there is an absorbent gauze strip containing a water soluble dye. Each of the two sheets further comprises a clear sealed indication area for viewing the detection results. The moisture indicator may include a smart moisture sensor which continuously measures relative humidity of the utility or appliance. The smart moisture sensor connects with a network to provide a real time alarm and notification to any predefined recipients via email, a cell phone, or other communication device when the humidity increases beyond a preset threshold.

  • Patent number: 6802214
    Abstract: A unit for evaluating various properties of a paper envelope. The unit is capable of examining an envelope and determining key features of the envelope, such as the amount of front seal adhesive present, the tear strength of the side seams and the presence of properly printed graphics. The unit comprises a) a housing having either a touch screen video display unit or another source of data entry; b) a front seal control portion that contains linear encoders to determine the amount of adhesive on the seal; c) a side strength control portion that contains blades used to measure the force needed to burst the sides of the envelope: and d) a print design quality feature that is utilized to confirm the quality and location of any printing on the envelope.
