# Patents

Two issued US patents in fluid-detection technology from Trevillyan Labs' founder — proof of invention capability and available for commercial licensing.

## The technology

These patents cover a fluid detection system using conductive fabric: a multi-layer textile that detects liquid presence and pinpoints leak location via an electrical pathway formed by the liquid itself. The architecture spans the detection fabric, the sensing methodology, and the control apparatus — providing broad coverage across applications.

Potential applications include leak detection in data centers, industrial facilities, smart buildings, smart textiles, medical monitoring, and consumer IoT devices.
