Remote Weight Measurement of a Product Support Member

In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to determine a weight of products on a product support structure. More specifically, the product support structure can be provided on a suspension system having one or more springs that can be monitored for compression to thereby determine a weight of products on the product support structure. In several embodiments, non-visible electromagnetic (EM) waves, can be directed at the spring and reflections of the non-visible EM waves can be received and analyzed to determine a compression of the spring.

Luggage scale and identification tag system
09835488 · 2017-12-05 ·

A luggage scale and identification tag system is a combination identification tag and luggage weight scale system having a body with a clear plastic card insert for displaying a business card or other visual identification means on one side and a scale with a display face and graduated weight measurements on the other side. The scale has a spring mechanism that is able to indicate a weight when loaded; the indication via mechanical (analog) means. Simplified versions may just be connectable to luggage via a tie strap.

Alignment of light source focus

An extreme ultraviolet light system includes a steering system that steers and focuses an amplified light beam traveling along a propagation direction to a focal plane near a target location within an extreme ultraviolet light chamber, a detection system including at least one detector positioned to detect an image of a laser beam reflected from at least a portion of a target material within the chamber, a wavefront modification system in the path of the reflected laser beam and between the target location and the detection system, and a controller. The wavefront modification system is configured to modify the wavefront of the reflected laser beam as a function of a target focal plane position along the propagation direction. The controller includes logic for adjusting a location of the focal plane of the amplified light beam relative to the target material based on the detected image of the reflected laser beam.

System and a method for ascertaining the mass of at least one animal
11067430 · 2021-07-20 · ·

A system for ascertaining the mass of an animal having attached thereto a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The system comprises a scale for supporting the animal and generating mass information indicative of the mass of the animal when so supported. The system comprises a RFID reader for interrogating the RFID tag which when interrogated generates a RFID tag signal from which the RFID reader can derive animal identification information indicative of the identity of the animal.
