    Abstract: A weight sensor comprising a weighing platform and a load cell coupled to the platform to sense a weight applied to the platform, the load cell comprising a deformable plate with one or more strain gauges arranged to provide an electrical signal representing the weight applied to the platform, and a base supporting the load cell, wherein the deformable plate is movably mounted to the base at only three contact points, the contact points allowing lateral movement of the plate relative to the base when the plate deforms in response to a weight applied to the platform. The weight sensor makes it possible to independently monitor the weight and weight shifting of two people sharing the same bed. The weight sensor is selfcentring when a load is applied off-centre to the platform, which is particularly beneficial when such a weight sensor is used underneath a bed, e.g. under a bed leg or other support member which may not be aligned centrally over the weight sensor. Beneficially the sensor is not unduly affected by minor misalignment of the leg of a bed relative to the load cell.

    Abstract: A magnetic nanocomposite device is described herein for a wide range of sensing applications. The device utilizes the permanent magnetic behavior of the nanowires to allow operation without the application of an additional magnetic field to magnetize the nanowires, which simplifies miniaturization and integration into microsystems. In5 addition, the nanocomposite benefits from the high elasticity and easy patterning of the polymer-based material, leading to a corrosion-resistant, flexible material that can be used to realize extreme sensitivity. In combination with magnetic sensor elements patterned underneath the nanocomposite, the nanocomposite device realizes highly sensitive and power efficient flexible artificial cilia sensors for flow measurement or tactile sensing.
