The invention relates to a method for weighing pharmaceutical containers (10) nested in a carrier (11), in which at least one of the nested containers (10) is weighed by means of a weighing device (1), wherein a relative movement between the at least one pharmaceutical container (10) and the carrier (11) is brought about in order to release the pharmaceutical containers (10) from the carrier (11) in order to increase the weighing accuracy.

Provided is an electronic balance that includes a windshield having a door to be automatically opened and closed, and has a high degree of freedom of design. An electronic balance including a balance main body that holds a weighing mechanism connected to a weighing pan, and a windshield including a frame and doors disposed slidably on the frame, and configured to form a weighing chamber by covering the weighing pan, and configured so that the windshield includes inside air cylinders connected to the doors to open and close the doors, and air pumps to drive the air cylinders, and is configured to be detachable from the balance main body. The windshield that has doors to be automatically opened and closed is detachable from the balance main body, so that the windshield and the balance main body can be designed separately, and therefore, the degree of freedom of design of the electronic balance is high.

The present disclosure relates to a water supplier for a pet and a control method thereof, that is, a water supplier for a pet that operates a thermoelectric element by sensing the temperature of water stored in a water tub through a water temperature sensor, operates a warning unit by sensing the level of the water stored in a water tub through a water level sensor, operates a pump by sensing a pet within a predetermined distance range through a proximity sensor, and cuts power or keeps the inclination of a water dispenser horizontal by sensing the inclination of the water tub through a gyro sensor, and a method of controlling the water supplier.

An integrated high-precision weighing module has a shell, an electromagnetic force sensor, a printed circuit board (PCB), a weighing pan component, a support ring, and an air baffle ring. The electromagnetic force sensor and the PCB are mounted in the shell. A bearing head of the electromagnetic force sensor extends upward from an upper end portion of the shell. The support ring sheathes the bearing head. The weighing pan component is mounted on the bearing head, with the support ring located between the weighing pan component and the shell. The air baffle ring is disposed around the weighing pan component and located on the support ring. A first airflow channel is formed among the shell, the support ring, and the air baffle ring. At least part of airflow in the shell flows to the outside through the first airflow channel.

A weight measuring apparatus for vehicles includes a measuring plate on which an object to be measured is placed; a plurality of entry members installed on the measuring plate; and a load cell having one side fixed to the entry member and the other side fixed to the measuring plate, wherein the entry members are installed apart from each other at the edge of the measuring plate. A weight measuring apparatus for vehicles with which a vehicle is easy to enter thereby measuring the weight of the vehicle conveniently, of which structure is simple and light thereby improving the usability and handling thereof, of which cost for manufacturing can be reduced, of which supporting structure is stable and reinforced with structural strength thereby improving durability and safety, and that can measure load weight accurately.

The disclosure relates to a load cell including an elastic element, at least one strain gauge and a limitation element. The elastic element includes a first end portion, a second end portion and a deformation region. The first end portion and the second end portion are arranged along an axial direction and opposed to each other. The deformation region is located between the first end portion and the second end portion. The at least one strain gauge is disposed in the deformation region. When a force is exerted on the first end portion in a first direction, the deformation region is deformed to drive the at least one strain gauge to change shape, so that the force is measured and standardized under a specific range. The limitation element is connected to the elastic element. A gap is formed between the limitation element and the elastic element.

A device, a method and a program, by which a weight and/or a position of a gravity center of a load attached to a movable part of a robot can be estimated by a simple configuration. The device has a torque sensor configured to detect a torque applied to an axis for driving the movable part of the robot, and a calculation section configured to calculate the weight of the article, by using: a first torque applied to the axis, when the article attached to the movable part is positioned at a first position and represents a first posture; a second torque applied to the axis, when the article attached to the movable part is positioned at a second position different from the first position and represents the first posture; the first position; and the second position.
