1.1 Aim The aim of the project is to develop a range of commercially significant, non invasive, reliable and low cost sensors and associated electronics, using a twin heat flux sensor approach for the massive urinary incontinence and diabetic market. There are several aspects to the incontinence market, all of which will need a specifically designed version of the sensor and electronics. 1.2 Deliverables Fully developed sensor initially for the incontinence market where low cost of manufacture, reliability of output, miniaturisation and comfort of wearer have been adequately developed, using the subject of US patent 7232255B2 covering the twin heat flux sensor principle. This US patent is the subject of an exclusive agreement between Sequoia and its inventor and has been purchased by Sequoia Early version of sensor from the inventor - Professor Yuli Lozinski, a Russian scientist based in Israel. Additionally, a newer Israeli patent application (also from the same Professor) covering further developments of the sensor, has been applied for earlier in 2008 and is a constituent part of the option being negotiated by Sequoia. We expect to continue to develop using part of the grant to develop the IP to cover the US and Europe. We have also embarked on 3-4 patents developing the sensor in our own right as Sequoia. (A similar sensor would be more simply developed from this work for the diabetic market).
