A weight cell including first and second bi-directional memory elements each configured to switch between a first resistance state and a second resistance state different than the first resistance state. A first input line is connected to a first terminal of the first bi-directional memory element, and a second input line is connected to the first terminal of the second bi-directional memory element. A first diode in forward bias connects the second terminal of the first bi-directional memory element to a first output line, a second diode in reverse bias connects the second terminal of the second bi-directional memory element to a second output line, a third diode in reverse bias connects the second terminal of the first bi-directional memory element to the second output line, and a fourth diode in forward bias connects the second terminal of the second bi-directional memory element to the first output line.

A weighing and labeling system has an electronic scale, label printer, and at least one controller. The controller stores information about incoming food packages and drives the printer to produce labels based on the stored information and the weight of the food packages. The labels are transferred to the food packages. Some elements of the system are located in sealable cabinets, and further, some of the elements are mounted on the interior surface on doors hinged to the sealable cabinets. This is advantageous in food production environments requiring frequent cleaning of equipment with sprayed water. In some embodiments the sealable cabinets are positioned on vertical masts and rotatable on the masts.

Embodiments herein provide systems and methods tracking the weight of an individual who is lying in bed. One method generally includes periodically receiving weight data from a weight data sensor that is situated within the bed, wherein the weight data sensor has recognized a change in weight on the bed from a default weight of the bed, and providing to the individual a user interface to track weight patterns of the individual based on the received weight data.
