摘要: The present invention relates to a system for monitoring food waste. The system includes a weight mechanism configured for weighing a waste receptacle, wherein the waste receptacle is configured for receiving food waste from a plurality of consecutive disposal events before emptying, a processor configured for measuring the difference in weight of the waste receptacle between each disposal event and calculating the weight of a disposal event based upon the difference and a user interface configured to receive at least one indication categorising the food waste in a disposal event by a user. A method for monitoring food waste is also described.

摘要: The system includes an apparatus which automatically measures an inventory of a consumable good and tracks the inventory as it is used. The system may include a signaling device which creates a signal when a defined minimum amount of the consumable good has been reached. The apparatus may also send the user an electronic message that the defined minimum has been reached. The system may then automatically submit an order to a supplier for a replacement supply of the consumable good. This system may be used to track supply and reorder animal food, food staples, production supplies, manufacturing parts, or virtually any consumable good. Accordingly, a user may avoid the inconvenience and loss of time and money due to failure to timely replace a consumable good.

摘要: To measure the mass per unit area of an applied layer in a layered film while preventing a measurement error from being caused by thickness unevenness, a per-unit-area-mass measuring device (30) includes a light projector (31a) configured to project light having a center wavelength of 405 nm, a light projector (31b) configured to project light having a center wavelength of 850 nm, light receivers (32a, 32b) configured to receive light having been transmitted through a separator (12), and a control section (33) configured to calculate the mass per unit area of a heat-resistant layer (4) on the basis of the respective transmitted-light intensities of the light having a center wavelength of 405 nm and the light having a center wavelength of 850 nm.

摘要: A method for controlling an electronic scale in disclosed in this disclosure, which is applied to measure and indicate a state of an external force, comprises the following steps. A weight sensor detects the external force, and a controller drives a prompting device to emit a first light with a first optical characteristic when the external force detected by the weight sensor reaches a first weight. The controller drives the prompting device to emit a second light with a second optical characteristic when the prompting device emits the first light for a predetermined period, wherein the prompting device continuously emits the second light until the external force reaches a second weight.

摘要: The present technology relates to a container monitoring system for monitoring the content of containers, such as beverage bottles. The monitoring system is automated to record the content of the containers according to a metric such, as the container's weight and capture variances in the container's content for reconciliation with data such as sales data to expose irregularities in the consumption of the container's contents to provide inferences as to the cause of those irregularities. Various embodiments of the monitoring system may comprise a scale assembly for producing scale data, a processor module communicatively linked to the scale assembly, and a front end server application for processing and comparing the scale data to point of sale data and pushing notifications, reports, and other data to a user.

摘要: A multifunction livestock measurement system provides automatic hip location for animal height (hip height) assessment using a side-looking optical system. An automatic implementation identifies the hip through an analysis of the underside of the hindquarters of the animal. A manual version identifies the hip manually in a similar image. Automatic ear tag reading, weight measurement and animal temperature measurement can be integrated into the station.

摘要: A container filling valve may include a shuttle and a drive sleeve that are magnetically coupled. Movement of the drive sleeve may move the shuttle from a position in which the filling valve is closed to a position in which the filling valve is open. A container handling arm may include a distal end configured to hold a container and a proximal end that includes a load cell. A low flow setpoint system may be configured to arrest closing of a filling valve when that filling valve is partially closed. A pressure control system may be configured to maintain a desired pressure in a reservoir or in a flow path from that reservoir. A product recirculation system may be configured to adjust flow rate in the product recirculation system.

摘要: A method of determining the predicted usage of gas from a gas cylinder and valve assembly. The method comprises determining, using a sensor assembly and at a time t, the mass of gas in the gas cylinder, the average flow rate of gas from the gas cylinder; and the time remaining until the quantity of gas in the gas cylinder reaches a predetermined level, the time remaining being determined, at time t, from the mass of gas in the gas cylinder, the average flow rate of gas from the gas cylinder, and a predetermined scaling factor selected in dependence upon the proportion of gas remaining in the gas cylinder. The average flow rate is determined based on previous measurements, and the amount of gas remaining in the gas cylinder.
