A monitoring system includes a weight sensor for receiving a vial containing a controlled substance possessed by a patient. A processor receives a weight measured by the weight sensor. A communication circuit transmits the weight measured by the weight sensor to a remote server. The weight sensor may be mounted in a container having a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment has a first lid that is releasable without any lock. A second compartment has a second lid that is secured by a lock. The weight sensor is mounted inside the second compartment.

A pressure-sensitive device and a computing device are configured to register various steps of a meal lifecycle, including one or more of food purchasing, meal preparation, the serving and consumption of a meal, use of leftovers, management of food inventory, the transferring of a food item from one container to another, the transferring of a food item into a container, the transferring of a portion of a food item into a container. A food item may be automatically identified based on a weight and footprint of the food item. In some instances, a database associates a food item with multiple footprints such that a food item may be identified regardless of its orientation on the pressure-sensitive device.

A cash drawer has a weighing module comprising a plurality of cups; the cash drawer has a front and a rear. The cups are arranged such that four prone note cups, five coin cups and two vertical note cups are provided. The four prone note cups are arranged rearwards of the five coin cups and forwards of the two vertical note cups. A weighing module for a cash drawer is also provided, which comprises a plurality of note cups and coin cups arranged on respective load cells. At least some of the cups are movable relative to respective load cells on which they are arranged.

A smart pillbox with a basic weighing scale that provides an easy, accurate and robust mechanism to monitor the removal of pills using weight, without modifying the behavior of patients. When connected to a small, inexpensive computing device and clock/timing device, it can easily record the removal of pills. With the addition of a light, such as an LED, or a display, it can provide a visual notification as a reminder to take pills, as well as when pills were last taken. With the addition of a loudspeaker or other sound-generator, the notification can be audible with a variety of notification sounds or alarms that designate time pills should be taken.

A product display surface supports at least one product being offered for sale thereon. This product display surface has a weight-sensitive RFID tag associated therewith. This tag has at least one transmission element that moves with respect to a remaining portion of the tag as a function of weight being supported by the product display surface. So configured, the weight-sensitive RFID tag transmits at a first level when there are no products (or only a few products) on the product display surface and at a second level when there are at least a predetermined number of products on the product display surface, the first transmission level being less than the second transmission level. An RFID-tag reader reads the weight-sensitive RFID tag and a control circuit determines when the first product display surface lacks sufficient displayed inventory as a function, at least in part, of the weight-sensitive RFID tag's transmission strength.

A trunk inventory detection arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a camera positioned to capture images of objects within a trunk of the motor vehicle. A weight detection device is positioned to detect a weight of the objects in the trunk. An electronic processing device is communicatively coupled to each of the camera and the weight detection device. The electronic processing device causes a user of the vehicle to be informed of the objects in the trunk based on signals received from the camera and the weight detection device.

A receiving box receives items for later retrieval by an enterprise. Upon an amount of received items being detected within the receiving box, a report is sent to the enterprise. A detector detects an amount of the received items in the receiving box and outputs a corresponding signal. A controller receives the signal and determines based thereon whether a triggering event has occurred. The triggering event represents that the receiving box has an amount of received items therein such that a person or service should be dispatched from the enterprise to the receiving box to empty same. A reporter is employed by the controller to report the triggering event as a message to the enterprise upon the controller determining that the triggering event has occurred.
摘要:
Controlling deposition and retrieval of shipments via an electronic locker unit communicatively coupled to a managing distribution centre, and having lockable compartments, comprises entering an identification code of the shipment and retrieving specific information including a weight P0 associated with the shipment; opening a compartment of the electronic locker unit; depositing the shipment inside the compartment; weighing the shipment with a weighing module located inside the compartment and comparing the measured weight P with a reference weight;—and locking the compartment and logging the compartment as filled and successfully locked upon close match and validation of weight comparison, said reference weight is an authorized weight interval between a minimal weight Pmin and a maximal weight Pmax determined by cumulating at least the two following: a carrier weight tolerance T1 corresponding to the weight P0 provided by the carrier, and a locker weight tolerance T2 of the scales of the weighing modules.
