Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sensor device of an article of furniture. The sensor device may comprise a flexible sensor. The flexible sensor may comprise a flexible circuit board (e.g., a flexible printed circuit board) having a piezoelectric material. The sensor device can detect one or more biological signals of a user of the article of furniture comprising the sensor device. The flexible sensor may be sandwiched between two conductive layers. An electrical insulator may be disposed between the flexible sensor and at least one of the two conductive layers.

Abstract: Automated system for handling, in particular for overturning, containers such as cage trays for housing laboratory animals. The automated system being suitable to be positioned at the outlet module of a station for treating or washing, said containers and possibly other component parts of said cages such as the lid, the trough and similar component parts. The system then receives said containers and/or other component parts at the outlet from said treatment station, in particular washing station. The system can comprise a first conveyor belt capable of interfacing said outlet module so as to receive said containers and/or said component parts at the outlet of said treatment station. A second conveyor belt can be arranged in succession so as to define a transport direction of said containers and/or component parts substantially parallel to the feed direction of said containers and/or component parts at the exit from said treatment station.
