Abstract
Disposable articles for treating objects such as surfaces, devices, persons, contaminants, and the like or for treating substances disposed on, in, or in proximity to such objects having a responsive system. The responsive system may respond continuously or discontinuously. A continuous responsive system of the present invention further includes a feedback control loop. A discontinuous responsive system of the present invention may include either a feedback control loop or an open loop.
Claims34
A disposable article suitable for treating an object comprising a responsive system including:
- (i) a sensor operatively connected to said article, said sensor being adapted to detect an input, and
- (ii) an actuator operatively connected to said sensor, said actuator being adapted to perform a responsive function upon said input, said actuator comprising a distinct component from said sensor.
A disposable article suitable for treating an object comprising:
- (a) a responsive system including:
- (i) a sensor operatively connected to said article, said sensor being adapted to detect an input, and
- (ii) an actuator operatively connected to said sensor, said actuator being adapted to perform a responsive function upon said input, said actuator comprising a distinct component from said sensor;
- and
- (b) a substrate, wherein at least a part of said responsive system is operatively connected to said substrate.
A disposable article suitable for treating an object comprising:
- (a) a responsive system including:
- (i) a sensor operatively connected to said article, said sensor being adapted to detect an input, and
- (ii) an actuator operatively connected to said sensor, said actuator being adapted to perform a responsive function upon said input, said actuator comprising a distinct component from said sensor;
- and
- (b) a substrate, wherein at least a part of said responsive system is operatively connected to said substrate;
- wherein said responsive system comprises compression material in a compressed state prior to and upon actuation forms a three dimensional structure.
A disposable article suitable for treating an object comprising:
- (a) a responsive system including:
- (i) a sensor operatively connected to said article, said sensor being adapted to detect an input, and
- (ii) an actuator operatively connected to said sensor, said actuator being adapted to perform a responsive function upon said input, said actuator comprising a distinct component from said sensor;
- and
- (b) a substrate, wherein at least a part of said responsive system is operatively connected to said substrate;
- wherein said actuator further comprises a treatment material for treating said object, whereby said treatment material is released upon actuation of the responsive system.
