Abstract
Spring-based sensor devices are described. For example, a spring-based sensor system may include at least one spring associated with a mechanical element, the at least one spring operative to change from a first state to a second state based on a configuration of the mechanical element, sensing circuitry configured to determine an electrical property of the at least one spring, the electrical property to have a first value when the at least one spring is in the first state and a second value when the at least one spring is in the second state, and a logic device to determine a status of the mechanical element based on the electrical property. Other embodiments are described.
