Abstract: Water-resistant weighing apparatus comprising a load cell having a plate, one or more beams with fixed ends connected to the plate and strain sensing means on the beams. A platter is supported by the beams for receiving a load applied between the plate and the beam. The platter encloses the top and sides of the load cell and a shield is connected to the bottom of the platter and encloses the bottom of the load cell. A gasket is provided to seal the interface between the platter and the shield. A plurality of feet are provided for contact with a support surface. Bushings extend through the shield and connect the plate to the feet and sealing boots are provided to seal the openings in the shield for the bushings. The shield may include a vent to expose the load cell to atmospheric pressure and a sub-base plate may be provided to deflect moisture from the bottom of the shield and the vent.

Abstract: A low profile scale utilizes four strain gage-based sensing beams which are isolated from mechanically or thermally-induced distortions on the weighing platform by means of interposed elastic elements. The platform is capable of moving upwardly relative to the sensing elements without transmitting any load thereto. The platform cooperates with a floating lower enclosure system to essentially seal the mechanism so that it is splash proof and washable as required for use in the food industry. Adjustable overload stops channel excess forces around the sensing beams to protect them from damage.

Abstract: Weighing apparatus of the electromagnetic load compensation type is disclosed including a pivoted transmission lever that connects the compensation coil for movement relative to the stationary permanent magnet field in accordance with the displacement of the load receiving assembly from its initial no-load position, characterized in that the transmission lever is connected with the load receiving assembly via a flexible bearing contained within a hollow coupling part of the load receiving assembly, thereby protecting the bearing against the deleterious influence produced by the different heating rates of the various structural components. By protecting the flexible bearing against component-generated heat as well as extreme variations in ambient temperature, the zero or no-load operating point of the weighing apparatus is protected against temperature-produced errors.

Abstract: Devices and methods for determining item-specific information for single or multiple items on one or multiple substrates are described. The method includes generating multiple sensor multiple dimensions array (MSMDA) data from multiple sensors, where each of the multiple sensors capture sensor data for one or more items in relation to a substrate. For each item, the method includes determining relationships between the multiple sensors based on characteristics of the MSMDA data, determining a location of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, determining an angular orientation of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, and determining a body position of the subject on the substrate based at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, the location of the subject, and the angular orientation of the item.
