Abstract

A sensor for detecting urine and stool secretion mounted over two or more layers of garment, said sensor comprising: at least one light source configured to illuminate said garment; at least one photodetector configured to output an indication of the amount of light reflected from said garment; and an electronic circuit configured to detect said secretion by monitoring said output of said photodetector and identifying a temporal pattern being characteristic of said secretion event.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sensor for detecting urine and stool secretion mounted over two or more layers of garment, said sensor comprising:
 at least one light source configured to illuminate said garment;   at least one photodetector configured to output an indication of the amount of light reflected from said garment; and   an electronic circuit configured to detect said secretion by monitoring said output of said photodetector and identifying a temporal pattern being characteristic of said secretion event.   
     
     
         2 . The sensor according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one light source comprises a LED (Light Emitting Diode). 
     
     
         3 . The sensor according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one photodetector comprises an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). 
     
     
         4 . The sensor of  claim 1 , further comprising a housing with a curved bottom shape. 
     
     
         5 . A sensor for detecting urine and stool secretion mounted over two or more layers of garment, said sensor comprising:
 at least one capacitive detector, said detector configured to output an indication of the magnitude of the capacitance of said capacitive detector; and   an electronic circuit configured to detect said secretion by monitoring said output of said capacitive detector and identifying a temporal pattern being characteristic of said secretion event.   
     
     
         6 . The sensor of  claim 5 , further comprising a housing with a curved bottom shape.
