Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a combination of a mosquito net and a technical functional article attached to the meshed fabric of the mosquito net. Specifically, it relates to the combination as described in the preamble of the independent product claim. The present invention also relates to the manufacturing, transportation methods and uses of such combinations. Background Art

[0002] Traditional mosquito nets are the most effective method of protecting humans against malaria. In its simplest form, a mosquito net is a meshed fabric spread over the space of a human dwelling, for example, over a bed in a sleeping space for the night. The protective effect against mosquitoes and other insects is enhanced by adding insecticides to the mosquito net. In the last two decades, the technology in this field has evolved to provide long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) which can last for several years even after washing. Therefore, people keep their mosquito nets for a long time, and when they move from one place to another, whether due to drought or war, mosquito nets are usually one of the items they carry with them, especially because of its importance in preventing vector-borne diseases and mosquito bites, but also because of its small weight and volume, making it easy to carry.

[0003] With technological progress, the distribution channels of mosquito nets have also been greatly improved, making insecticidal mosquito nets widely popular especially in remote areas such as Africa. In 2008, Vestergaard used the distribution channels of mosquito nets to distribute water filters in an event, in which mosquito nets, especially type mosquito nets were packed into bags named "Care- ", which also contained brand water filters, condoms and educational materials, so as to extend the fight against malaria and other vector-borne diseases to cover AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Although the event was successful, it did not last and did not promote a regular distribution program for other disease prevention measures.

[0004] Although the distribution channels of mosquito nets are efficient and well-organized, and can even reach the most remote areas with extremely poor infrastructure levels in Africa, it is rare for other commodities to achieve such efficient distribution. Building such infrastructure for other specific commodities is a huge project because it usually requires huge investments, and the return on investment is difficult to guarantee. However, similar distribution channels need to be provided for other commodities, especially for low-cost commodities that can relieve and improve life in those remote areas. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an overall improvement in this field. Specifically, the object of the present invention is to provide an efficient distribution channel for articles in remote areas, thereby improving the quality of life of local residents. The methods, combinations and uses as described below and in the claims can achieve this object and more advantages.

[0006] In short, the mosquito net is used as a carrier to distribute technical functional items for personal use, household, environmental and agricultural purposes to remote areas. Specifically, the following methods are found to be useful.

[0007] When the mosquito net is transported from the production site to the end-user location in rural areas of remote regions such as Africa, the mosquito net can be used as a carrier to synchronously transport other technical functional items.

[0008] The term "technical functional item" refers to an item that has a technical purpose and function in use, especially an item that responds to stimuli, such as an item that gives the result of a physical and / or chemical reaction. In some embodiments, the technical effect is characterized by the detection and analysis of individuals, the environment or agriculture. For example, technical functional items include physical and / or chemical analysis test kits for test samples such as drinking water, food or agricultural soil, and are configured to indicate the analysis test results of the test samples to the user. However, electronic technical functional items can also be transported according to requirements, optionally as test kits, alternatively as other technical products that enhance the added value of the user's life.

[0009] In particular, the analysis test is not for medical diagnostic testing, but focuses on other areas of life in remote regions.

[0010] Using the mosquito net as a carrier for transporting technical functional items avoids using additional packaging materials (especially plastic bags, cardboard boxes, etc.) for item distribution, which greatly helps to save resources and costs, and reduces waste, especially plastic waste, which is in line with the concept of global waste reduction.

[0011] To use the mosquito net as a carrier to transport such technical functional items to remote areas, especially to transport technical functional items as agricultural or environmental detection systems to remote areas, the technical functional items are arranged on a thin flexible carrier sheet, which is usually made of fabric or film, and can act as a carrier to fix the technical functional items during transportation until they reach the end-user location, and can also include the necessary instructions for item use and detection result evaluation information.

[0012] The carrier sheet is attached to the mesh fabric of the mosquito net. Usually, by means of, for example, sewing, in a manner similar to the attachment of a conventional information label, only the edge region of the carrier sheet is attached to the mosquito net, rather than around the entire edge of the carrier sheet. Thus, the carrier sheet is similar to an information label that is usually fixed to the mesh fabric by one edge, and this information label is used to provide information about the mosquito net and the supplier. Similar to such information labels, the size of the carrier sheet is also much smaller than the size of the mosquito net, especially at least one order of magnitude smaller compared to the size of the mesh fabric itself. In short, the carrier sheet has a size and usually also a shape similar to that of an information label attached to the mesh fabric, and the difference from the information label is that the carrier sheet carries a technical functional article, such as a detection kit for water quality analysis or soil analysis. Therefore, the technical functional article is firmly attached to the mosquito net through the carrier sheet and is transferred from the manufacturer to the end-user's place of use along with the mosquito net, and there is no risk of loss of the technical functional article during this process. In addition, another advantage is that it is not necessary to equip the technical functional article with a separate package independent of the mosquito net.

[0013] After the carrier sheet is attached to the mesh fabric of the mosquito net, further advantages can be obtained by wrapping the carrier sheet carrying the technical functional article around the mesh fabric. In this way, the mesh fabric provides a buffering and shock-absorbing effect and forms a heat-insulating layer around the technical functional article. Then, the combination of the mosquito net, the carrier sheet, and the technical functional article is packaged and transported from the production place to the end-user's place of use in a secure package form.

[0014] Specifically, the mosquito net includes a mesh fabric that is usually in the form of a canopy, which is used to cover the sleeping area and provide protection for the human body against insects. When hung, the size of such a canopy from the top to the bottom edge of the mosquito net is about two to three meters. The carrier sheet is significantly smaller, and its length and width range, for example, from 10 to 30 centimeters.

[0015] As described above, the carrier sheet carrying the technical functional article is made of a flexible material, usually a fabric or a film. Its edge part can be selectively attached to the mesh fabric by sewing, although it can also be attached to the mesh fabric by gluing or plastic welding, and the latter is applicable to thermoplastic materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene.

[0016] The present invention is for technical functional articles for a variety of non-medical diagnostic items. For example, the technical functional article is at least one of the following items, such as provided as a detection kit:

[0017] - Water quality analysis detection;

[0018] - Agricultural soil detection;

[0019] - Detection of food poisoning substances;

[0020] - Detection of environmental toxic gases;

[0021] -pH value detection.

[0022] Examples of substances detected by the detection kit include: ammonia, bromine, chlorine, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, fluoride, sulfite, and / or metals such as lead, cadmium, manganese, mercury, copper, chromium, or thallium. For example, a liquid sample can be used, optionally a liquid sample obtained by dispersing a soil sample or a food sample in a liquid such as water. For certain toxins, other specific analysis kits are required, such as analysis kits for detecting cyanide, azide, chromate, and arsenic. Some detection kits are configured to detect mycotoxins because such toxins are harmful and a major hazard in grain storage.

[0023] For example, after uncovering the detection area (such as tearing off the film protective cover), the liquid sample is applied to the detection area. After the sample is applied and after a predetermined reaction time, the detection result is revealed.

[0024] In some embodiments, the technical functional article is an analysis kit for indicating the concentration of harmful gases, such as radon, ozone, or carbon monoxide. Advantageously, the detection reagent is sealed within an airtight protective cover, and when the protective cover is removed, it allows the gas to contact the reagent. If the concentration of the gas present is high enough, for example, indicated by a concentration scale or described numerically or by an icon, then the reagent will give an indication of the presence of the gas.

[0025] For example, the carrier sheet carries a reagent container containing the detection reagent, and the user mixes the reagent with a liquid or solid substance, such as water for testing the quality of potable water or food chunks, to evaluate whether there are any problems with their quality. Other examples include agricultural samples, such as soil, for detecting specific substances in agricultural samples, optionally the concentration of pathogens or nutrients.

[0026] In some embodiments, depending on whether the detection result is positive, negative, or the indicated concentration level, the appearance of the mixture of the detection sample and the reagent changes. For example, the color or shade of the mixture changes, serving as an indication that the reagent has a positive or negative reaction to the sample. In other embodiments, whether or not the sample liquid is mixed with the reagent before being applied to the tubular device, when the sample liquid is introduced onto a planar tubular device, it flows through the tubular device and reacts, for example, by coloring, for example, coloring caused by a selective chemical reaction, to give the user a visual analysis result.

[0027] If the detection is for the concentration of a specific substance (such as a nutrient or a toxin), the color change may show a gradual change according to the substance concentration. To facilitate the user's evaluation of such changes, a printed colorimetric indicator, for example, may be provided on the carrier sheet, which shows the possible colors and / or shades of color, so that the user can directly compare the color or shade of color of the reagent and the test sample mixture with this indicator by comparison to determine the test analysis result.

[0028] Generally, the colorimetric indicator is related to the reaction of the sample liquid reagent, and it is sufficient to distinguish the differences so that the user can visually interpret the result. However, the analysis accuracy can also be improved by using a smartphone application that compares the test result with the colorimetric indicator on the carrier sheet. Alternatively, or in addition, the smartphone application may include a programmed colorimetric indicator for test evaluation and may be programmed with a feedback function to indicate the result to the user.

[0029] In some cases, for optimizing the comparison and accurate interpretation, a coating area and a test evaluation area are provided on the carrier sheet. After the sample reacts with the reagent, it is coated onto the coating area, and the change in color or transparency is compared with the colorimetric indicator so that the user can determine the test result of the test analysis.

[0030] Optionally, the coating area carries some reagents that provide an indication to the user when a liquid sample (whether mixed with the reagent in the reagent container or not) is coated thereon. At this time, the colorimetric indicator located on the side of the coating area is of great help for the user to accurately interpret the test result.

[0031] In some embodiments, the carrier sheet carries a removable test strip for analysis. The test strip is configured to indicate the test analysis result after contacting a sample liquid such as water. In this case, the colorimetric indicator provided on the carrier sheet has significant advantages. When the test strip and the carrier sheet are arranged side by side, the user can evaluate the test result on the removed test strip by comparing with the colorimetric indicator on the carrier sheet.

[0032] An example is a test strip for determining the pH value, whose color change can indicate whether the liquid (such as water) is acidic or alkaline, and may also show the acidity level through the pH value.

[0033] In some embodiments, optionally, in order to accurately evaluate color changes or color scale variations, analysis and detection can be performed by using a smartphone and a corresponding application program (also known as "APP"), which is programmed in the computing system built into the smartphone. Optionally, data is exchanged wirelessly through an Internet cloud system. When performing the evaluation, the field of view of the camera built into the smartphone faces the detection and evaluation area, and the captured image is evaluated. The evaluation can be completed by the application program itself, or by submitting the captured image through the Internet and using a corresponding programmed server system.

[0034] In order to resemble a carrier sheet, for example by sewing, only the edge portion of the flexible carrier sheet is attached to the mesh fabric, where the edge portion is shorter than the entire edge surrounding the carrier sheet. In some embodiments, it is advantageous for the carrier sheet to be separated from the mesh fabric. For this purpose, a separation line is provided, for example by perforating the sheet material of the carrier sheet, for example parallel to the fixed edge portion of the carrier sheet.

[0035] The present invention is particularly applicable to an analysis kit for agricultural control and / or environmental control.

[0036] Other potentially useful technical functional items are a thermometer and a humidity sensor.

[0037] Optionally, multiple sensors can be combined and configured.

[0038] In some analysis embodiments, the carrier sheet includes electronic devices, optionally electronic devices for analysis purposes. Optionally, the electronic devices are electronic devices printed on the carrier sheet. For example, the electronic devices include sensors for analyzing sample liquids, optionally for analyzing sample liquids mixed with reagents, especially analytical reagents. For example, the electronic devices include conductivity detectors indicating ion concentration.

[0039] In some embodiments, the technical functional items are electronic products, such as electronic products selected from the following:

[0040] - A solar cell for providing electricity;

[0041] - A battery for storing and transmitting electricity;

[0042] - A speaker;

[0043] - A microphone;

[0044] - A light emitter;

[0045] - A light detector, such as a camera;

[0046] - A computer unit;

[0047] - A display screen;

[0048] - Button;

[0049] - Keyboard;

[0050] - Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag;

[0051] - Near Field Communication (NFC) tag;

[0052] - Motion sensor;

[0053] - Light source;

[0054] - Indoor pollution detector;

[0055] - Transmitter or receiver or transceiver of electromagnetic waves, containing analog or digital information, such as radio waves or Bluetooth signals.

[0056] For example, a light emitter and a light receiver (optionally a camera) are combined with a computer unit, which is powered by a battery charged by a solar cell, for evaluating a test sample in a detection area. For example, the test sample is illuminated by the light emitter, and then the reflected light is captured by the light detector, and these signals are analyzed by a computer to generate an analytical test result for electronic evaluation. Optionally, a speaker is used to provide information to the user, which is beneficial for illiterate or visually impaired users.

[0057] For example, the analytical detector includes a microarray of light detectors or even a camera to measure the density, color or transmittance of a sample liquid, which is optionally mixed with a reagent. An example is the turbidity of water and the color analysis with spatial resolution, such as for evaluating the presence of worms or certain types of microorganisms in water, such as harmful protozoa. The electronic device can provide feedback to the user based on the measurement results. To power the electronic device, a flat battery may be carried on a carrier sheet (e.g., a battery printed on the carrier sheet), and optionally a flexible photovoltaic cell for powering the electronic device on the carrier sheet, and such an optional battery is used for sample analysis.

[0058] In this case, if the electronic device on the carrier sheet (e.g., an electronic device printed on the material of the carrier sheet) is separated from the mesh fabric, for example, torn along a perforated separation line, it is advantageous to separate the functional part of the carrier sheet from the main part that remains attached to the mesh fabric.

[0059] Regarding electronic devices, it should be noted that recent developments in electronic technology have made great progress in the thin, flat and flexible characteristics of electronic products, even including displays and buttons for simple communication.

[0060] In some practical embodiments, the electronic device includes a speaker for illustration and feedback, which is useful for communicating with illiterate users and blind or other visually impaired people. A microphone can be used to talk to the user.

[0061] In some embodiments, a smart phone can be used as an auxiliary tool, for example, to provide supplementary information to the user. Another option is to use the smart phone as a communication link between the electronic device on the mosquito net and a remote server or a remote person, so as to communicate with the remote person through a radio connection or a wireless data transmission connection.

[0062] A variety of activation mechanisms on the carrier sheet may activate the operation of the smart phone or different reading devices, such as a QR code, a bar code, a printed web link, a holographic anti-counterfeiting label, or even an RFID tag or an NFC tag on the carrier sheet.

[0063] For example, the activation mechanism is used to provide activation information to the reading device (optionally a smart phone). In the latter case, the smart phone is programmed with a computer application (i.e., an APP), which responds to the activation mechanism and may respond to the input of the user and / or the input from an external server or an external person. In some embodiments, the information in the activation mechanism must be read through the APP to minimize the risk of fraud.

[0064] Optionally, the smart phone or other types of reading devices can respond after reading the tag, such as displaying specific information to the user and possibly requesting input. It should be noted in particular that augmented reality technology is an alternative way to communicate with the user. The smart phone can also initiate wireless communication with the central server and trigger further operations after reading the tag. These different options can be used in combination.

[0065] For example, the application fields of the above technologies cover education, medical care, agriculture, and applications related to mosquito nets, and the applications include information sharing, anti-counterfeiting, the durability of mosquito nets, and their insecticidal detection.

[0066] Options for enhancing user comfort include an odor emitting device or an air disinfectant on the carrier sheet, advantageously for long-term slow release, such as for several months or even a year.

[0067] Other options include disinfectants and water purifying agents.

[0068] Another option is to use additional insecticides or synergists as dispensers on the carrier sheet. For example, mosquito nets already carry insecticides, such as pyrethroids, but in order to enhance the insecticidal effect (especially in the presence of resistance), additional insecticides or synergists can be added.

[0069] The present invention will be described in more detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0080] Figure 11 Shows a dual-parameter warning sheet. Detailed implementation

[0081] Figure 1 Shows the mosquito net 1. The mosquito net 1 includes a ceiling 2 and side walls 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the side walls 3 include an upper portion 4A and a lower portion 4B of the side walls 3. The lower portion 4B of this side wall 3 is made of a more durable material than the upper portion 4A, as can be seen in the insecticidal mosquito net with the trademark of However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the side walls 3 can also be made of a single material.

[0082] The carrier sheet 6 is usually attached to the mesh fabric of the mosquito net 1 by sewing. The carrier sheet 6 is similar to and a supplementary configuration of the label 6' which is a standard component attached to the mesh fabric 5 of the mosquito net 1. The label 6' is used to provide information about the mosquito net and the manufacturer to the user. As will be more clearly explained below, the standard design principle of the label 6' on the mosquito net 1 can be used to attach the carrier sheet 6 to the mesh fabric 5, so as to distribute technical functional articles along with the mosquito net 1. The latter brings a variety of significant advantages, which will be described in more detail below.

[0083] Generally, one side edge of this carrier sheet 6 is attached to the lower edge 1A of the mosquito net 1. As an alternative to fixing the carrier sheet 6 to the mesh fabric 5 of the mosquito net 1, the carrier sheet 6 can be attached to another part of the mosquito net 1 with other edges. For example, the carrier sheet 6 can be sewn into the seam 1B between the upper part 4A and the lower part 4B of the side wall 3, as is also Figure 1 shown.

[0084] Some types of carrier sheets 6 are fixed to the mesh fabric 5 in a non-removable manner, which is intended to remain on the mesh fabric 5. This means that removing the carrier sheet 6 from the mesh fabric 5 by pulling or tearing will damage the mesh fabric 5. It should be noted that, for example, using scissors to cut is a method to remove part of the carrier sheet 6 from the mesh fabric 5, but the sewn part of the carrier sheet 6 will still remain on the mesh fabric 5. Therefore, according to the above definition, such carrier sheets 6 are regarded as non-removable.

[0085] Despite the above situation, some carrier sheets 6 have a part that can be removed from the mesh fabric 5, and this part is intended for removal and use. This carrier sheet 6 is provided with a separation line 7, usually a perforation line, Figure 1 shown as a dotted line in the figure. A part of the carrier sheet 6 can be separated from the mesh fabric 5 along this separation line.

[0086] As will be described in more detail below, such carrier sheets 6 can carry a variety of technical functional articles for analysis.

[0087] The advantage of using a carrier sheet 6 with a size similar to and an operation similar to that of a conventional information label is that operating such a carrier sheet and attaching it to the mesh fabric is similar to a standard information label, making it easy to implement the carrier sheet of the present invention for carrying technical functional articles without changing the traditional production process of the mosquito net, so that the additional cost and workload are kept to a minimum. The latter is a crucial aspect because the low price of the mosquito net 1 must be maintained.

[0088] Figure 2There is shown a carrier sheet 6 carrying a thin thermometer 8, such as a printed thermometer. This thermometer carrier, as the carrier sheet 6, is typically attached to a mesh fabric 5 by sewing, and its thermometer part is detachable from the mesh fabric 5 by a separation line 7 (perforations as shown by the dashed separation line 7). Once separated, the thermometer 8 can be used to measure the temperature of the surrounding environment or a specific liquid or solid, and within a given measurement range, the thermometer 8 will display the temperature value. The thermometer 8 is exemplarily provided with a numerical band, in the current example ranging from 10 °C to 50 °C, thus covering the typical temperature range of a residential environment. The measured temperature is indicated by highlighting the corresponding temperature digits, for example, by color, color scale, or by a highlighting box 9 or a highlighted area near the corresponding digit. A thermochromic material can be optionally employed.

[0089] Figure 3 There is shown a carrier sheet 6, whose first carrier sheet part 6A carries a test strip 10 for analytical detection (such as drinking water detection, food toxin detection, or agricultural soil analysis detection). As shown, the test strip 10 is detached by separating the first carrier sheet part 6A from the second carrier sheet part 6B (the carrier sheet main body part), where the second carrier sheet part 6B remains attached to the mesh fabric 5. After using the test strip 10 for detection (such as by coating drinking water or food liquid onto the test strip), the result can be verified by comparing it with different result options A, B, C, or D on the test result color comparator 15, for example, showing a positive test result, or a negative test result, or an invalid test result for two chemical substances and / or microbial variants. Although the illustrated carrier sheet 6 shows only a single test strip 10, it can carry multiple detachable test strips.

[0090] Figure 4 There is shown a carrier sheet 6 that carries a reagent container 11 containing a reagent 12. Optionally, the carrier sheet 6 carries a cotton swab 13, which can be optionally plastic-encapsulated for hygienic reasons, but is not shown here. For example, the cotton swab 13 is used to collect food and immerse it in the reagent 12, and the reagent 12 changes its appearance (such as changes color) according to the chemical reaction with the food sample. After that, the final mixture of the food sample and the reagent 12 is coated on the coating area 14. Thereafter, when compared with a color or color scale indication 15 (possibly supplemented by a scale indicator 16), the user can infer the test result. For protection reasons, in order to keep the coating area 14 available and clean, a sealing plastic film generally needs to be covered and torn off when contacting the coating area 14. This film is not shown here for simplicity. Optionally, the comparison coating area 14 includes another reagent to make the test result more definite. For example, the reagent 12 in the container is used to detect microorganisms, and the second reagent on the coating area 14 can be used to detect some specific chemical substances.

[0091] Figure 5Shows a reagent container 11 with reagent 12 and a ready-to-use test kit 17 carried by a carrier sheet 6, which can be easily detached from the carrier sheet 6. For hygienic reasons and to ensure the usability of the test kit, the test kit is usually placed in a sealed plastic bag, and the plastic bag needs to be torn open to obtain the test kit from the carrier sheet 6. For simplicity of illustration, the sealed bag is not shown here. For example, the user must add some food or soil to the reagent container 11, mix it with the reagent 12, then apply the reagent sample to the test kit 17, and then check whether it shows positive for a specific chemical substance or microorganism in its result window 18.

[0092] Figure 6 Shows the carrier sheet 6, which carries visual information 31 to prompt the user to drop a liquid sample onto the test evaluation area 30, and then add a reagent from one or more reagent containers 11 to this area, thereby triggering a certain visual reaction in the test evaluation area 30.

[0093] Alternatively, the test evaluation area 30 has been coated with a reagent, and only a test sample needs to be provided, which is usually done after removing the protective film of the test evaluation area.

[0094] Figure 7 Shows an option for precise evaluation of color changes or color scale variations for analytical testing, that is, by using a smartphone 22 and a corresponding application program (also called APP), which is programmed in the computing system of the smartphone 22. Optionally, data is exchanged through wireless communication 23 via an Internet cloud system 24. For evaluation, the field of view 25 of the built-in camera 26 of the mobile phone is aligned with the test evaluation area 30, for example Figure 6 the test evaluation area on the carrier sheet 6 as shown.

[0095] Figure 8 Shows a time indicator 27 on the carrier sheet 6, which shows some time delays, such as the time delay related to the expected shelf life of the insecticide on the mesh fabric 5, or the time delay related to the shelf life of the analysis kit provided in the mosquito net 1. The time indicator 27 changes color or color scale over time, which is clearly visible and easy to interpret for the user.

[0096] Figure 9 Shows that the carrier sheet 6 carries flexible electronic devices, such as a printed electronic circuit 29 and optionally a photovoltaic cell 28 that powers the electronic circuit 29. Optionally, the carrier sheet 6 also carries a flexible battery. For example, the electronic device is printed on a flexible substrate, attached to the flexible carrier sheet 6, or directly printed on the flexible carrier sheet material such as a plastic film, and a fiber-reinforced plastic film may be used for stability reasons. To separate the use of the photovoltaic cell 28 from the mosquito net 1, the corresponding part of the carrier sheet 6 can be detached from the mesh fabric 5 through a separation line 7.

[0097] The electronic circuit 29 on the carrier sheet 6 is particularly suitable for analytical detection. Figure 10 The cross-sectional schematic diagram shows an example, where the electronic circuit 29 is used for analytical detection analysis. The electronic circuit 29 is electrically connected to a visual detector 33, such as a single photodiode for detecting color. Alternatively, the visual detector 33 includes an array of photodiodes, such as in the form of a micro camera, and optionally includes a lens to achieve spatial resolution. The visual detector 33 is configured to generally detect the visual appearance of the test sample 34 at the test evaluation area 30 coated on the cover plate 32 after being mixed with a reagent. The detection signal of the visual detector 33 is transmitted to the electronic circuit 29. Advantageously, the electronic circuit 29 is programmed to analyze the signal of the visual detector 33. This may include evaluating the color change, color scale caused by the reagent, or evaluating the color intensity and / or reflectivity of the test sample.

[0098] To facilitate the evaluation of the test sample 34, an optical emitter 35, such as a light-emitting diode (LED), is optionally configured to emit light of a specific detection wavelength, and after irradiating the test sample 34, the light is captured by the visual detector 33. This method also allows for fluorescence measurement of the test sample 34.

[0099] Another or additional option is to configure a probe 36 for measuring the physical and / or chemical properties of the test sample 34 within the analytical detection area 30. For example, the probe 36 is used to measure conductivity. Advantageously, the system includes a combination of the visual detector 33 and the probe 36.

[0100] Optionally, to provide feedback to the user, the electronic circuit 29 is connected to a visual indicator 37, such as a multi-color diode.

[0101] Optionally, a button 38 or a keyboard is configured to allow the user to activate the electronic circuit 29 for detection, so that the user can have possible further communication with the electronic circuit 29.

[0102] Figure 11 A two-parameter warning sheet 40 carried by the carrier sheet is shown. The warning sheet includes reaction regions 43A - 43D, which respond to providing corresponding information to the user according to a combination of physical parameters. For example, giving a warning in one of these regions 43A - 43D will send a light-emitting signal or a highlighting signal to the user. Arrows 41 and 42 show the increasing degree of two parameters, but the arrows generally do not show on the warning sheet 40.

[0103] For example, different reaction regions 43A - 43D are activated according to the actual ambient temperature and air humidity levels. In this example, reaction region 43A shows a low - temperature and low - humidity area, where warnings (such as providing luminous or highlighted information) may be related to relatively safe environmental conditions where mosquitoes are less likely to breed. In contrast, a high - temperature and high - humidity environment may trigger a warning in region 43D, warning the user that mosquito nets must be used as much as possible because this is related to conditions of high mosquito density.

[0104] All of the above - mentioned carrier sheets 6 are made of flexible materials to prevent them from breaking away from the mesh fabric 5.
