Automated rising concrete tracking device
Described herein relates to a system and method of verifying a dimension in real-time of a foundation being poured during construction. The dimension monitoring apparatus may automate and/or expedite a measurement of a foundation during pouring. As such, the dimension monitoring apparatus may simultaneously monitor a flow of concrete via at least one pump stroke and/or at least one flow meter, in addition to a rising concrete level using at least one motor assembly. Additionally, the dimension monitoring apparatus may comprise a probe configured to track the level of the rising foundation throughout the entire foundation pouring process. The dimension monitoring apparatus may continuously track and/or refine a dimension and/or depth profile of a foundation and/or may identify potential anomalous cross sectional dimensions which may have occurred during the foundation pouring process.

TACTILE SENSOR
A tactile sensor includes: a strain layer including a ring part and a tongue part protruding inward from the ring part, the tongue part being provided with a strain gauge; a first sealing layer stacked on one main surface of the strain layer to seal a first space surrounded by the ring part of the strain layer; a spacer layer including a ring part; and a second sealing layer stacked on one main surface of the spacer layer to seal a second space surrounded by the ring part of the spacer layer, the strain layer and the spacer layer being stacked so that the other main surface of the strain layer faces the other main surface of the spacer layer, and a closed space in which the first space and the second space communicate is formed.

Device and method for monitoring compression level of a compression garment
A compression measuring device includes a substrate configured to be attached to a first location on a stretchable fabric of a worn compression garment. The compression measuring device includes a deformable arm cantilevered across a first end of the substrate, being fixed to the substrate at a fixed end and extending across the first end of the substrate to a cantilevered end of the deformable arm. The compression measuring device includes a bridge attached to the deformable arm at a first end of the bridge and extending away from the deformable arm out past a second end of the substrate. A second end of the bridge is attached to a second location on the stretchable fabric. The compression measuring device includes a strain gauge mounted to the deformable arm and configured to measure an electrical resistance when the bridge pulls on and deforms the deformable arm. The electrical resistance measurement is used to determine a percentage stretch of the stretchable fabric, which is combined with a limb measurement of a user to determine a compression level when the compression garment is worn by the user.
