One embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for analyzing substances included in a sample. The apparatus includes a physical enclosure for holding the sample and one or more sensors positioned on an inner surface of the physical enclosure. The sensors are configured to provide information associated with the substances included in the sample. The apparatus further includes electrical conductive traces positioned on the inner surface and coupled to the one or more sensors, thereby facilitating transmission of outputs of the sensors.

Smart container for detecting biological and chemical substances

One embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for analyzing a liquid comprising a plurality of different substances. The apparatus includes an absorber that comprises one or more layers of absorbent material for absorbing the liquid and one or more sensors embedded within the one or more layers of absorbent material. The sensors are configured to provide information associated with the different substances included in the absorbed liquid, and a location of a respective sensor is determined based on a corresponding substance detected by the sensor and a diffusion property of the substance.

Chromatography-aided substance sensing in absorbent hygiene and medical products

One embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for analyzing substances included in a liquid. The apparatus includes an absorber for absorbing the liquid and a testing device separate from the absorber. The absorber includes a main body and a detachable strip embedded in the main body, and both the main body and the detachable strip absorb the liquid. The testing device includes one or more sensors positioned on a top surface of the testing device to provide information associated with the substances included in the liquid in response to the detachable strip being placed on the top surface of the testing device.

Medical and hygiene products with removable portions for testing absorbed fluid

One embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for analyzing substances within a liquid. The apparatus includes an absorber that comprises one or more layers of absorbent material for absorbing the liquid and one or more sensors embedded within the one or more layers of absorbent material. The sensors are configured to provide information associated with the substances included in the absorbed liquid. The apparatus further includes electrical conductive traces coupled to the one or more sensors, thereby facilitating transmission of outputs of the sensors.
