Embodiments of this disclosure provide an optical resonance device, a force measuring device and method, a modulus measuring method and a display panel. The optical resonance device includes: a light emitting layer, a reflecting layer, and a transflective layer. The light emitting layer is configured to generate light. The reflecting layer is arranged at one side of the light emitting layer and is configured to reflect the light generated by the light emitting layer. The transflective layer is arranged at the other side of the light emitting layer and is configured to transmit a portion of the light generated by the light emitting layer and reflect a portion of the light generated by the light emitting layer. The force measuring device includes: an optical resonance device, at least one optical sensor, a bearing unit and a calculation unit.

A monitoring system includes optical sensors disposed on one or more fiber optic waveguides. Each optical sensor is spaced apart from other optical sensors and is disposed at a location along a route defined by a transportation structure that supports a moveable conveyance. The plurality of optical sensors are mechanically coupled to one or both of the transportation structure and the moveable conveyance. Each optical sensor provides an optical output signal responsive to vibrational emissions of one or both of the transportation structure and the conveyance. The monitoring system includes a detector unit configured to convert optical output signals from the optical sensors to electrical signals. A data acquisition controller synchronizes recordation of the electrical signals with movement of the conveyance.

A variable-color region (106) of an information-presentation structure extends to an exposed surface (102) at a surface zone (112), normally appears along it as a principal color, and includes impact-sensitive and color-change components (182 and 184). A segment (192) of the impact-sensitive component responds to an object (104) impacting the zone at an object-contact area (116) by providing an impact effect if the impact meets threshold impact criteria. A segment (194) of the color-change component responds to the effect by causing an impact-dependent portion (138) of the variable-color region to temporarily appear along a print area (118) of the zone as changed color materially different from the principal color. The print area closely matches the object-contact area in size, shape, and location. The color-change component employs an electrode assembly (202) having a core layer (222) sandwiched between two electrode structures (224 and 226) for controlling the color change.

A pressure sensing device including a light source, at least one resonant structure, a cladding body, a first substrate and a second substrate is provided. The light source is configured to provide an original broadband light. The resonant structure includes a plurality of semiconductor rod structures arranged into a row at intervals along a single arranging direction, and each of the semiconductor rod structures has a lattice constant on the arranging direction. The original broadband light is transmitted between the semiconductor rod structures, and a resonant light is produced, wherein each of the semiconductor rod structures has a length perpendicular to the arranging direction and has a width parallel to the arranging direction, the length and the width are less than the wavelength of the resonant light. The cladding body completely covers the semiconductor rod structures of the at least one resonant structure. The cladding body and the at least one resonant structure are interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. When a pressure is applied on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, the pressure is transmitted to the cladding body along a direction perpendicular to the arranging direction, a deformation corresponding to the pressure is occurred on the cladding body and the semiconductor rod structures on the arranging direction, and a wavelength of the resonant light is changed according to the deformation. Besides, a pressure sensing apparatus is also provided.

Disclosed is a package handling system comprising: an indicator designed to display a mishandling indication upon application of a force in excess of a predetermined threshold force.

An impact sensing laminate 2 has a first surface 211 on which an impact force acts; a second surface 222 brought in contact with a protection object OBJ; an impact absorption layer 21 and a first pressure-sensitive layer 22. When a direction heading for the second surface from the first surface is defined as a first direction, the first pressure-sensitive layer is in the first direction from the impact absorption layer. The first pressure-sensitive layer is a layer of sensing a first impact force as the impact force to have been attenuated by the impact absorption layer.

A sensor arrangement using an optical fiber and methodologies for performing an analysis of a subterranean formation, such as a subterranean formation containing a hydrocarbon based fluid. The sensor arrangement may be used to measure one or more physical parameters, such as temperature and/or pressure, at a multiplicity of locations in the subterranean reservoir. The sensor arrangement may comprise a sensor array comprising an elongated outer casing for insertion in the subterranean formation and into a fluid in the subterranean formation. The sensor array may comprise an optical fiber defining an optical path that links one or more temperature sensors and one or more pressure sensors and transports measurement data generated by the temperature and pressure sensors. A data processing system may be connected to the sensor array to receive measurements from the sensor array and to compute one or more values of a property of an extraction installation operating on the subterranean formation.

Systems for screening and health monitoring of materials are provided. The system can include a material embedded with magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENs), a laser configured to direct incident laser light waves at a target area of the material, an optical filter disposed between the laser and the material, and an analyzer configured to detect the laser light reflected from the material.

Sensing arrangements for measuring force or torque by transmitting light on a reflective region and measuring how the reflected light is received, including a sensor arrangement that uses a non-symmetric reflective region and a sensor arrangement that uses multiple arrangements of at least three light sensors, where the at least three light sensors are arranged such that they are not co-linear.

Pressure sensing having 2-D resolution is provided by an array of optical waveguides having wave-guide intersections (e.g., intersecting rows and columns). Pressure induced cross-coupling between intersecting wave-guides is enhanced by including mechanical structures at each intersection that enhance local waveguide bending. For example, such structures can be rigid rings around the wave-guide intersections.
