Abstract: A sensor device includes a plurality of wires that are adapted to be disposed on an object, a control circuit that is electrically coupled to the wires, and a conductive member that is electrically coupled to the control circuit. Each of the wires has a detection section. The conductive member is operable to contact the detection sections of the wires. The detection sections are urged to move relative to the conductive member when the object is deformed, so that a quantity of the detection sections in contact with the conductive member varies with deformation of the object. When the conductive member is in contact with the detection section of any one of the wires, the conductive member and the one of the wires cooperatively form one closed circuit. The control circuit is adapted to transmit data of a quantity of the closed circuit to an external device.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for dispensing of paper products. A dispenser comprising a housing comprising a product holding area defined by a front, back and two sides, and a dispenser throat defining an opening through the housing; a motor coupled to the rolled product and configured to rotate the rolled product in first and second directions; and a feed mechanism having a first side opening and a second side opening different from the first side opening, wherein both the first side and second side openings are different from that dispenser throat, and wherein the first side opening is configured to accept the tail when the rolled product has a first orientation and is rotated in the first direction and the second side opening is configured to accept the tail when the rolled product has a second orientation and is rotated in the second direction.
