The profile includes magnetically sensitive material concentrated in one or more particular areas within the container. Related systems and methods for force detection are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to force based on movement of magnetically sensitive material. In embodiments, first magnetically sensitive material and second magnetically sensitive material can be in an initial position. According to such embodiments, one or more sensors to detect force based on relative position of the first magnetically sensitive material and the second magnetically sensitive in a second position. Related systems and methods for force detection are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include using particles in phase change materials to track temperature change of an object. The particles may be initially disposed at specific locations within the phase change materials. As the phase change materials transition from the solid state to the fluid state, the particles may move from the initial locations to different locations. The change in locations of the particles may be detected magnetically, electrically, optically, and/or visually. Such change may indicate that the object experienced a temperate above at least one phase transition temperature of the phase change materials.
