Methods, apparatuses, and systems associated with a sample testing device are provided. For example, an example sample testing device may include a substrate layer defining a bottom surface of the sample testing device, as well as a waveguide disposed on the substrate layer and includes at least one reference channel and at least one sample channel.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sample testing

Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide for improved sensor devices. An example sensor device includes a magnet mounting tube and a magnet supported within the magnet mounting tube. The sensor device includes a sensor mounting tube that receives at least a portion of the magnet mounting tube and supported magnet therein. The sensor device includes a magnetic sensor affixed to the sensor mounting tube. The sensor device includes a spring positioned around the magnet mounting tube and the sensor mounting tube such that the magnet and the magnetic sensor are surrounded by the spring. In an instance in which a load is applied to either a first end or second end of the spring, the magnet mounting tube translates relative the sensor mounting tube so as to induce a change in magnetic flux identified by the magnetic sensor indicative of a weight of the load.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for weight detection

Apparatuses and sensor systems are described with magnetoresistive sensor configurations. The method of detecting a displacement of a magnetic component includes monitoring, via a position sensor operating in a low-powered mode, a magnetic field emitted by a magnetic component. The monitored characteristics of the magnetic field vary based at least in part on a displacement of the magnetic component. The method also includes determining, via the position sensor, whether the monitored characteristics of the magnetic field satisfy an activation criteria. The method further includes increasing the power of the position sensor to a high-powered mode to determine the displacement of the magnetic component upon determining that the monitored characteristics of the magnetic field satisfy the activation criteria. Corresponding position sensing systems are also provided.
