SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING FORCE EXERTED BY AND/OR WEIGHT OF AN OBJECT

원문 (중국어)

Various embodiments of sensors and related methods for measuring force and/or detecting acceleration or vibration are disclosed. A system may include a hollow enclosure and a rigid base attached to a lower end of the hollow enclosure. The rigid base may allow for the passage of light therethrough. A piston may be disposed within an interior space defined by the hollow enclosure and rigid base. The piston may be moveably secured to the hollow enclosure, such as by a plurality of springs. A flexible bladder may be disposed between a lower surface of the piston and an upper surface of the rigid base. A camera may be disposed beneath the rigid base and aimed upwardly toward the rigid base. A computer may be connected to the camera. Various other details are provided.
