Abstract: A moisture sensing system is configured to determine the moisture level in granulate materials, such as, but not limited to, plastic resin pellets and agricultural grains. The system is configured to measure various parameters relating to the environment around the granulate material, and to determine additional characteristics of the granulate material based on these parameters. In some embodiments, the system is configured as a multi-sensor array with the computational and communicative capabilities to process the acquired measurements and provide outputs to a process device, such as a dryer, to help optimize the drying or other processes performed on the granulate material after the moisture measurements and other data are acquired.

Abstract: An authentication system includes a label having at least three codes which are not known from a single database when the label is produced, but from at least two databases generated by independent processes such that it is not possible, without consulting the different databases, to know if a label is authentic, even when the three codes become accessible in the public domain. More particularly, an authentication system includes a label having at least three codes for identifying and validating the authenticity of said label, where the system includes:—at least two independent databases in which said at least three codes are entered, and each database includes, an unknown code from the other database, and a known code from the two databases, said known code being paired with one of said unknown codes.
