An integrated high-precision weighing module has a shell, an electromagnetic force sensor, a printed circuit board (PCB), a weighing pan component, a support ring, and an air baffle ring. The electromagnetic force sensor and the PCB are mounted in the shell. A bearing head of the electromagnetic force sensor extends upward from an upper end portion of the shell. The support ring sheathes the bearing head. The weighing pan component is mounted on the bearing head, with the support ring located between the weighing pan component and the shell. The air baffle ring is disposed around the weighing pan component and located on the support ring. A first airflow channel is formed among the shell, the support ring, and the air baffle ring. At least part of airflow in the shell flows to the outside through the first airflow channel.

A system for adjusting the firmness of a substrate configured to support a subject includes a first rod configured to be movable by a mechanism, a second rod parallel to and spaced from the first rod a distance that spans a majority of a dimension of the substrate, and flexible straps extending between the first rod and the second rod and attached to the first rod and the second rod at respective ends of each flexible strap. The mechanism is configured to move the first rod in a first direction to increase tension on the flexible straps and move the first rod in a second direction to decrease tension on the flexible straps. The mechanism can be manually operated by the subject or can be a motor that is controlled by a controller.

A weigh module (100) comprises a load cell (4), a supporting member (1), a connecting member (23) and a sealing member (3). The supporting member (1) comprises a receiving hole (13) extending vertically and thoroughly. The connecting member (23) comprises a fixing end (231) fixed to the load cell (4) and a limiting end (232) extending into the receiving hole (13). The limiting end (232) is configured to prevent the supporting member (1) from getting rid of the connecting member (23). The sealing member (3) comprises a first end (311) fixed to the supporting member (1), a second end (321) fixed to the load cell (4) and a raised portion (323).

A weigh module (100) comprises a load cell (4), a supporting member (1) and a guiding arrangement. The supporting member (1) comprises a receiving hole (13) extending vertically and through the supporting member (1). The guiding arrangement comprises a connecting member (23) and two parallel inner faces (611, 612) defined in the receiving hole (13). One end of the connecting member (23) is fixed to the load cell (4) and another end of the connecting member (23) extends into the receiving hole (13). The connecting member (23) cooperates with the two inner faces (611, 612) whereby the supporting member (1) can substantially move in a direction parallel with the inner faces (611, 612).

Devices and methods for generating synthetic cardio-respiratory signals from one or more ballistocardiogram (BCG) sensors. A method for determining item specific parameters includes obtaining ballistocardiogram (BCG) data from one or more sensors, where the one or more sensors capture BCG data for one or more subjects in relation to a substrate. For each subject, the captured BCG data is pre-processed to obtain cardio-respiratory BCG data. The cardio-respiratory BCG data is sub-sampled to generate the cardio-respiratory BCG data at a cardio-respiratory sampling rate conducive to cardio-respiratory signal generation. The sub-sampled cardio-respiratory BCG data is cardio-respiratory processed to generate a cardio-respiratory parameter set. A synthetic cardio-respiratory signal is generated from at least the cardio-respiratory parameter set and a cardio-respiratory event morphology template. A condition of the subject is determined based on the synthetic cardio-respiratory signal.
