    Abstract: A weighing device, configured to measure at least the weight of a person or an object, comprising a control unit, a sensory plate, a top plate, spacer pads, interposed between the plates, wherein the sensory plate has an emission transducer configured to generate, a burst of Lamb waves at the surface of the sensory plate, a reception transducer, to receive echoed Lamb waves propagated through the sensory plate, the temporal profile of the echoed Lamb waves being dependent on the weight applied to the top plate and passed by the spacer pads to the sensory plate, wherein the control unit determines the weight applied to the top plate by analysis of the temporal profile of the echoed Lamb waves.

    Abstract: A thin personal weighing device comprising a bottom plate, extending along a reference plane, a top plate movably mounted with regard to the bottom plate along a direction perpendicular to the reference plane, four resilient elements directly interposed between the top and the bottom plate, four LC circuits positioned at a vicinity of an edge of the bottom plate, and a conductive material coating, arranged on the top plate, the four LC resonators and the at least conductive material coating exhibiting an inductance. Movement of the conductive material coating relative to each of the four LC resonators introduces a variation of the inductance. A computation unit detecting the variations of the inductance is electronically coupled with the LC resonators and configured to correlate the variations of the inductance with an actual weight placed on the weighing device. The thickness of the weighing device is less than 25 mm.
