Techniques for corrosive substance detection for electronic devices are described herein. An aspect includes applying an electrical bias to a detector structure of a corrosive substance detector, wherein a layer of a hydrophilic gel is located over an electrode of the detector structure. Another aspect includes monitoring a resistance of the detector structure. Another aspect includes, based on determining that the resistance of the detector structure has dropped below a minimum resistance, indicating exposure to a corrosive substance by the corrosive substance detector.

Corrosive substance detection using hydrophilic gel for improved corrosion exposure detection in electronic devices

A method of prohibiting personal information identification of a photographic subject including: digitally photographing the photographic subject to form a photo of the photographic subject, the photographic subject having an indicia incorporated in the photo indicating prohibiting personal information identification of the photographic subject, the indicia being invisible to the human eye; reading the indicia; responsive to reading the indicia, processing the indicia to make a determination when the indicia prohibits identification of personal information of the photographic subject; and disclosing on a social network system the photo and the personal information of the photographic subject according to the determination.
