The present invention relates to a support device used in weighing coal of a raw coal bunker in a thermal power plant and a weighable raw coal bunker. The support device includes a base, a positioning sleeve, an upper support and a weighing sensor, a sensor groove being provided in the middle of the base, the weighing sensor being arranged in the sensor groove, the positioning sleeve being arranged on the base in a covering mode, a positioning hole being provided in the middle of the positioning sleeve, the upper support being movably inserted in the positioning hole, and a bottom surface of the upper support penetrating the positioning hole to abut against a top surface of the weighing sensor. The raw coal bunker uses the support device. Compared with the prior art, the present invention effectively meets the weighing requirement of the raw coal bunker.

A ship weighing system and a weighing method thereof include a collection module, a computing server, a wireless router, a display control terminal, and a network switch, which are installed in the ship. The collection module synchronously collects water level data of a stern and trim angle data of a front portion, a middle portion, and a rear portion of the ship. The computing server respectively calculates, based on the water level data collected by the collection module, an accumulated volume of the ship below a slice section parallel to a bottom plane of the ship corresponding to the water level data and a volume of a trim wedge formed by the slice section and an actual horizontal plane. The computing server combines results and corrects a volume of a vertical arch wedge in the middle portion of the ship to obtain a displacement volume of the ship.

Embodiments of a system and method for automating shipping for a physical object can include an object dimensions measurer (ODM) operable to collect and wirelessly transmit a dimensions dataset for the physical object, an object weight measurer (OWM) operable to collect and wirelessly transmit a weight dataset for the physical object, and a shipping automation system operable to receive datasets from the ODM and the OWM, implement a compatibility rule facilitating standardization of requirements for service levels provided by shipping carriers, determine object characteristics for the physical object, determine object characteristic specifications required by the service levels, and determine a service level for the physical object based on the object characteristics and the object characteristic specifications.

A docking station receives an enteral feeding pump or food pod into a cradle with a scales platform. The docking station is calibrated to determine nutritional data consumption and remaining available food on the basis of remaining food weight and nutritional data read from a tag using NFC. The station has a sealing sleeve with a sealing rim to confine any spillages in a manner which does not affect weight of the device on a weighting platform.

The invention relates to an arrangement for checking contours of pallets (18) to be put into storage in a rack system, said arrangement comprising: a pallet transfer station (12) which is designed to receive pallets (18) to be put into storage in the rack system; at least one sensor device (16a-16d) which is designed to detect whether a pallet (18) standing on the pallet transfer station (12) and objects supported by the pallet (18) are completely within a predefined contour; and an output unit (24) which is operationally coupled to the sensor unit (16a-16d) and is designed to output the detection result. The invention also relates to a rack system comprising at least one rack row, at least one stacker crane and at least one arrangement for checking contours, the pallet transfer station of which is designed such that pallets can be placed thereon from outside the rack system, which pallets can then be picked up by the stacker crane so as to be put into storage.
