An apparatus is provided including a processor, a memory, and a door. A scale is configured to, when the door is opened, measure the weight of an item placed in the apparatus. A scanner is then configured to, when the door is opened, scan an item placed in the apparatus. The processor is then configured to track the weight of the item when the item is placed in the apparatus and to automatically reorder more of the item in response to a determination that the weight of the item has fallen below a predefined threshold.

A medication dispensing device may include a plurality of trays, each tray optionally including a load cell configured to measure a mass/weight of a medication contained in the respective tray. Each tray is placeable in a medication accessible position and a medication inaccessible position. The medication dispensing device includes a user interface configured to provide instructions and/or other information with regard to access for each medication. A processor provides instructions to selectively place each tray in the medication accessible position, and to determine, based on any change in the mass of the medication placed in the medication accessible position, whether the appropriate amount of the medication is removed from the tray.

An inventory management system according to an embodiment comprises: a weight measurer configured to measure a weight of a shelf on which an item can be placed; and an RF tag configured to transmit a wireless signal including information related to the weight measured by the weight measurer in response to a read request from a wireless device, wherein the RF tag includes a transceiver configured to generate power by a received electromagnetic wave or magnetic field and transmit the wireless signal to the wireless device by using the generated power, a storage configured to store therein the information related to the weight measured by the weight measurer, and a controller configured to cause the transceiver to transmit the wireless signal including the information related to the weight stored in the storage to the wireless device.

A method for a vehicle is provided. The method comprises: determining a weight and position of an item of cargo being transported by the vehicle; transmitting information comprising the weight and position to a cargo management system remote from the vehicle; receiving a weight distribution instruction from the cargo management system; and communicating the weight distribution instruction to an occupant of the vehicle.

A method includes generating, via a camera, image data that is reproducible as an image of at least a portion of a subject. The method also includes receiving, via a sensor, first biomeasurement data associated with the subject, the first biomeasurement data including a first biomeasurement of the subject. The method also includes verifying the first biomeasurement of the subject based at least in part on a comparison between at least a portion of the image data and at least a portion of the first biomeasurement data.

In one embodiment, an at-home monitoring system includes a sensor unit configured to be placed under a leg of a piece of furniture, the sensor unit comprising a load cell configured to measure a force imposed by the leg, a central controller configured to receive force data from the load cell, to determine the times when an individual gets on and off of the piece of furniture, and to determine a weight of the individual, and a wireless communications component configured to wirelessly transmit information determined by the central controller to a separate computing device.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, may cause the computer to receive a location, a date, a wind direction, a water temperature, a species, or combinations thereof. The computer may use the location, date, wind direction, water temperature, species, or combinations thereof to retrieve fishing data. The computer may analyze the retrieved fishing data to determine one or more suggested fishing locations.

The invention relates to a computer program executable on a computer (4) for assisting the preparation of infant formula in an infant feeding container using an electronic scale (2) arranged in communication with the computer. The invention also relates to an electronic scale (2) for assisting the preparation of infant formula comprising a communication module (16) arranged to communicate with the computer (4) hosting the computer program.
