Abstract:
A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article. The system may comprise a first sensor and a first transmitter. The sensor may be disposed in or on the absorbent article. The sensor may have a first status and may be capable of changing to a second status. The first transmitter may be capable of sensing a change in status of the sensor from the first status to the second status. The first transmitter may be capable of checking the status of the sensor noncontinuously. The first transmitter may programmed to check the status of the first sensor at least every 5 minutes but not longer than every 2 hours.

Claim (Index 28):
A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article, comprising:\n an absorbent article comprising a front region, a back region, and a crotch region, a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis; the absorbent article further comprising an elongate housing comprising a first sensor and a second sensor; a first transmitter; wherein the elongate housing is disposed such that each of the first and second sensors are disposed forward of the transverse axis of the absorbent article; wherein no sensor of the sensor system and no portion of the housing is disposed rearward of the transverse axis; wherein the elongate housing is disposed along a longitudinal axis of the absorbent article, and wherein the elongate carrier layer is disposed on a garment-facing, exterior surface of the absorbent article; wherein the first sensor has a first status and is capable of changing to a second status; wherein the second sensor has a third status and is capable of changing to a fourth status; wherein at least one of the first and second sensors are capable of sensing a color change through the garment-facing, exterior surface of the absorbent article; wherein the first transmitter is capable of transmitting a signal when a change in status of the first sensor from the first status to the second status has occurred; wherein the first transmitter is capable of transmitting a signal when a change in status of the second sensor from the third status to the fourth status has occurred; wherein the first transmitter is capable of operating at a first power level during an assessment operation and a second power level, higher than the first power level, during a transmission operation; and wherein the first transmitter is capable of being manually overridden by the user with a mobile application interface either from an application opening or by manually pressing a button on an application graphical user interface (\u201cGUI\u201d) to check a current status of the first and/or second sensors.
