1. A method of load monitoring comprising:
- monitoring an initial state output signal generated by one or more load sensors positioned about a load storage device;
monitoring a current state output signal generated by the one or more load sensors; and
comparing the initial and current state output signals to determine changes in a load positioned upon the load storage device.

Abstract
A method of monitoring a load includes monitoring an initial state output signal and a current state output signal generated by one or more load sensors positioned about a load storage device. The initial and current state output signals are compared to determine changes in the load positioned upon the load storage device.

34. A system comprising:
-
a plurality of load sensors positioned to measure a load on a surface and operable to output load signals corresponding to the load;
a database operable to store a plurality of load records, each load record corresponding to an item type; and
a load monitoring system operable to input the load signals and access the database, to thereby output the item type corresponding to the load, based on the load records. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38)
