A stress distribution measurement method is a method of measuring stress distribution generated on a structural object including two support parts and a beam part provided between the support parts. The method includes: generating first image data by performing, through a first image capturing unit, image capturing of a moving object or an identification display object attached to the structural object from the moving object; calculating, based on the first image data, a movement duration in which the moving object moves between the support parts; generating, as second image data, thermal image data by performing image capturing of the surface of the beam part through a second image capturing unit; calculating a temperature change amount based on a second image data group corresponding to the movement duration; and calculating a stress change amount based on the temperature change amount to calculate stress distribution based on the stress change amount.

A high-resistance sensor. The sensor includes a first low-resistance material and a second low-resistance material, each connected with a base material. The first low-resistance material and the second low-resistance material are separated by a gap. A stimulus causes the first low-resistance material and the second low-resistance to move toward each other. A high-resistance material is positioned within the gap intermediate the first low-resistance material and the second low-resistance material. The high-resistance material increases the resistance of a circuit formed by contact between the first low-resistance material and the second low-resistance material when the sensor is subject to the stimulus.

Sensors, systems, and methods for monitoring environmental conditions, such as physical, electromagnetic, thermal, and/or chemical parameters within an environment, over extended periods of time with the use of one or more electromechanical sensing devices and electronic circuitry for processing an output of the sensing devices. The sensing devices each include a cantilevered structure and at least one contact configured for contact-mode operation with the cantilevered structure in response to the cantilevered structure deflecting toward or away from the contact when exposed to the parameter of interest. The cantilevered structure has at least first and second beams of dissimilar materials, at least one of which has at least one property that changes as a result of exposure to the parameter.

Present invention teaches a mechanical vaporizer primarily consisting of a mouth piece, an outer tube, and inner tube wrapped by a spring. A heat sink provides the insolation between the outer tube and the heating chamber that contains a side window to show temperature by the length extension of a sensing coil and allows easy removal of used vaping material to be removed.

Passive radio frequency identification (RFID) real-time temperature sensors based on programmable liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are provided. The sensors can be used for monitoring the temperature for various items, including perishable goods, foods, and medicines in the cold supply chain. The sensors can convey changes in temperature through a controlled shift of the operating frequency in the RFID ultra high frequency (UHF) band.
