Abstract: This invention concerns devices, systems, and methods to induce motion in cantilevers for actuation and sensing applications. Motion is induced by applying current to a ferromagnetic, magnetostrictive cantilever subject to bending stress, and hence strain (deflection), having both elastic and magnetoelastic components. The applied current creates a magnetic field that reorients the magnetoelastic strain component, changing the total strain and thus the total deflection. Changing deflection can be harnessed for actuation or work. Moreover, considering both static and dynamic deflection, measureable parameters that are associated with beam deflection, vibration frequency, and/or amplitude can be measured.

Abstract: A device, method, and system that allows the easy add on attachment of an applied-power sensor, assuring precise measurements over time, even in vibrating environments such as exercise environments. The device possesses structural qualities such that tightening the wrapping latch around a measured object/part presses a loaded spring between the object/part and the sensor, achieving and maintaining sufficient and constant contact, thus allowing continuously precise measuring. The device also includes a transmitter to transmit the measured data to an external data processing device and may include a processor to process the data before transmitting.

Abstract: A weight sensor may include a weighing platform and a load cell coupled to the platform to sense a weight applied to the platform. The load cell may include 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 self-centering 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.
