SENSOR SYSTEMS FOR ABSORBENT ARTICLES COMPRISING SENSOR GATES
First Claim
1. A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article, comprising:
- an absorbent article comprising a front and back, the absorbent article further comprising a first sensor and a second sensor;
a first transmitter;
wherein the first and second sensors are disposed in or on the absorbent article;
wherein the first sensor has a first status and are capable of changing to a second status;
wherein the second sensor has a third status and are capable of changing to a fourth status;
wherein the first transmitter is capable of sensing a change in status of the first sensor from the first status to the second status;
wherein the first transmitter is capable of sensing a change in status of the second sensor from the third status to a the fourth status;
wherein the first transmitter is programmed to send a signal to check the status of the first sensor noncontinuously; and
wherein the first transmitter is programmed to send a signal to check the status of the second sensor only once the first sensor has the second status.
