Abstract: 【課題】ガス検出要素を使用して乳幼児および幼児といった人間の眠る間の排便を監視する装置を提供する。 【解決手段】ルーム監視デバイスは、乳幼児または幼児や、特殊なニーズのある成人、または介護施設の成人といった、ルームを占有する人の排便(BM)を検出するよう意図して設計された。デバイスは、制限されないが、メタンおよび硫化水素といった、空気の特定物質を検査する。この検査は、擬陽性の検出機会を減らすために、1分につき数回実行される。デバイスがBMを検出すると、Wi−Fiメッセージ、SMSテキストメッセージ、視覚警報(すなわちライト点灯)、および/または音声警報を通して使用者に警報を発信する。このデバイスは、リモートカメラを備える乳幼児モニタといった既存の監視デバイスと組み合せることができる。 【選択図】図2

Abstract: A low impedance touch sensor detects manual contact of a dielectric substrate (10) by a human user. The touch sensor includes a first conductive electrode pad (16) having a closed, continuous geometric form and a second conductive electrode (18) which substantially surrounds the first electrode in a spaced apart, coplanar relationship by a channel (20). The first and secon d electrodes are disposed on the same planar undersurface (14) of the substrat e. An active electrical component (26), such as a transistor, is located on t he substrate proximate the first and second electrodes, and is electrically coupled to the first and second electrodes.

Abstract: A differential touch sensor apparatus for detecting the presence of an object such as a human appendage, the apparatus having a first electrode (16), a second electrode (18) positioned proximate to the first electrode, a differential circuit (Q1, Q2, 34, 48) connected to the first and second electrodes, and a pulse or other signal source (60) connected to provide electrical signals that generate an electric field between the first and second electrodes. Introduction of an object near the first electrode affects the electric field between the first and second electrodes, thereby affecting the voltage difference between them. A differential circuit provides an output signal responsive to the difference in voltage between the first and second electrodes. In an alternative embodiment, a strobe electrode (22) is provided proximate to both said first and second electrodes and the pulses or other signals are provided to the strobe electrode to induce an electric field between the strobe electrode and each of the first and second electrodes.

Abstract: A method of identifying an analyte-ligand binding pair that exhibits non- radiative fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) using a combinatoria l library. The method includes a) obtaining an analyte binding ligand from a combinatorial library that includes ligands, and b) attaching a label at lea st one of the analyte binding ligand and an analyte~analogue with at least one of a first component and a second component of a non-radiative fluorescence resonance energy transfer donor-acceptor pair (FRET pair) such that FRET occurs when the analyte-analogue is bound to the analyte binding ligand, and a change in FRET occurs when the analyte-analogue is not bound to the analyte binding ligand. The method also includes contacting a combinatorial library of ligands, which are optionally labeled with a component of a FRET pair, with analyte-analogue, which is optionally labeled with a component of a FRET pai r, and detecting the presence of FRET.

Abstract: A room monitoring device designed and intended to detect a bowel movement (BM) of a person occupying the room, such as a baby or infant or an adult with special needs or in a care facility. The device tests the air for particular substances such as, but not limited to, methane and hydrogen sulfide. The test is performed multiple times per minute to reduce the chances of a false-positive detection. Once the device detects a positive BM, it alerts a user via Wi-Fi message, SMS text message, visual alerts (e.g., flashing lights), and/or audio alerts. This device may be paired with existing monitoring devices, such as a baby monitor with a remote camera. Q)0 CIO-
