A device for detecting and signalising a leakage in a double-walled conduit system of a heat exchanger for heating fresh water by way of heat from waste water in the sanitary field as well as a heat exchanger including such a device. The device has an elastic element and a signalisation unit, wherein the elastic element is essentially liquid-tight and the signalisation unit is configured to generate an acoustic signal and the signalisation unit is activatable by way of a mechanical deformation of the elastic element.

An implant includes a hollow biocompatible shell, first and second electrodes, filling material, and circuitry. The hollow biocompatible shell is configured to be implanted in an organ of a patient. The first electrode is disposed inside the shell. The second electrode has at least one surface disposed outside the shell. The filling material, which includes carbon nanotubes (CNT), fills the shell and is configured, in response to a rupture occurring in the shell, to change a spatial orientation of the CNT and thus to cause a change in electrical conductivity of the filling material between the first electrode and the rupture. The circuitry is electrically connected to the first and second electrodes and is configured to detect the rupture by sensing the change in the electrical conductivity of the CNT, and to produce an output indicative of the detected rupture.

A method and device for leak testing of blow molded plastic containers uses high voltage in order to check at least one container wall which separates an outside of the container from an inside of the container for micro cracks or pinholes by placing a first electrode on the outside of the container wall and a second electrode on the inside of the container wall. High voltage is then applied between the first and the second electrode, and a current between the first and the second electrode is detected and compared to a predetermined threshold. A container is disposed if the detected current is above a pre-determined threshold. The first electrode is the anode and the second electrode is the cathode.
