    摘要: A method to calibrate a Weigh in Motion (WIM) sensor that is arranged in a road flush with a road surface for determining a force exerted on the road surface by a vehicle's wheel transgressing the WIM sensor uses an evaluation unit that calculates the wheel force upon receiving the vehicle's velocity and a distance signal from a first device fixed on the vehicle and coordinates the wheel force with a synchronized signal from the WIM sensor to generate a calibrate function for the WIM sensor. The evaluation unit continuously adjusts the wheel force to take into account one or more of wheel pressure, wheel temperature, wheel tilt and vehicle acceleration. A system employing the method includes the vehicle, the evaluation unit, the first device, a synchronization device such as a GPS unit, and sensors for one or more of pressure, temperature, tilt and acceleration.

    摘要: Provided is a weighing apparatus that enables occurrence of an abnormality to be noticed. A weighing apparatus includes a rectangular weighing base, weighing sensors disposed at four corners of the weighing base, a control unit configured to calculate a weighed value of a to-be-weighed object on the weighing base based on outputs of the weighing sensors, and an abnormality detection means configured to detect occurrence of an abnormality based on output values of the weighing sensors, and detects occurrence of an abnormality by comparing a sum of output values of a pair of weighing sensors disposed on one side of the weighing base among the weighing sensors with a sum of past output values of the pair of weighing sensors.

    摘要: A verification of a pipette results in a release or a warning message. A liquid measuring container (110) receives the pipette liquid volume (VP) to be verified. A loading cell (120) is connected to the liquid measuring container in a force-transmitting manner. The loading cell outputs a measurement signal (ms) corresponding to the weight force (FG) acting thereon. A processing unit (130) detects and processes the measurement signal (ms), determines a first weight force (Gt1) at time point (t1) and determines a second weight force (Gt2) at time point (t2). The pipette liquid volume is calculated and the calculated value is assigned to a pipette volume class (Ki) having a defined class nominal value (VKi). The processing unit tests whether or not an absolute value of the volume difference (ΔV) is within a predetermined tolerance value (T) for the assigned pipette volume class. The processing unit outputs the test result.
