The optical path control member according to the embodiment includes a lower substrate, a lower electrode provided on an upper surface of the lower substrate, an upper substrate provided on the lower substrate, an upper electrode provided on a lower surface of the upper substrate, an optical conversion unit provided between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, and an adhesive layer provided between the optical conversion unit and the upper electrode, wherein the optical conversion unit includes a partition wall portion and a housing portion alternately provided, the housing portion has a light transmittance that varies according to application of a voltage, and when a ratio of a thickness of the housing portion to a dielectric constant thereof (thickness / dielectric constant) is defined as A and a ratio of a thickness of the adhesive layer to a dielectric constant thereof (thickness / dielectric constant) is defined as B, a value of A is greater than a value of B.

Most current incontinence detection systems are expensive, difficult to use, uncomfortable to wear, or suffer limitations in the scope of detected events. However, the present invention features an incontinence detection system that uses inexpensive technologies and is disposable. The system can indicate the degree and persistence of wetness. The degree of wetness can be measured across various factors, including geometrical coverage via multiple independent detection points, each comprising a "detection cell.' A suitably networked system can determine the time and location of wetness. Each cell might be tuned for various factors such as material fluid affinity and exposure area. An advantage of the invention is the ease with which it can be adapted to distinguish fecal incontinence as distinct from urinary incontinence; both forms of incontinence can be monitored using the same system described herein. Another advantage includes the ability to estimate urine salinity.

A device may include a substrate having formed thereon a capping structure forming an enclosed volume filled with a gas other than ambient air. A device may include a first electrode and a second electrode having respective exposed electrode surfaces exposed to the enclosed volume, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are configured to strike and sustain a plasma in the enclosed volume in response to being externally biased, wherein one or both of the first and second electrodes comprise a conductive beam structure extending lengthwise in a lateral direction over the substrate.

The present invention relates to an electrode assembly for exposing an object supported on a moving surface to an electrical discharge comprising: (a) an electrical discharge device capable of generating an electrical discharge, further comprising an electrode having an electrical discharge generating surface capable of generating an electrical discharge originating from an active portion of the surface, wherein the surface is movable in order to allow generation of an electrical discharge from a different portion of the surface; (b) a barrier located in closely spaced separation to an inactive area of the electrode wherein the barrier separates the active portion of the electrode from an inactive portion of the electrode; and (c) means for cooling the inactive portion of the electrode. Methods and uses of the electrode assembly of the invention are also described, in particular exposing an object to an electrical discharge generated by the electrode assembly and further particularly attaching a molecule or macromolecule to an object following exposure of the object to the electrical discharge.
