A digital scale includes a weighing platform, a plurality of weight sensors, and a central processing unit. Each of the weight sensors includes a first sensing mechanism and a second sensing mechanism. The first sensing mechanism includes a first elastic member, and a first movement detection device arranged to transform a movement of the first elastic member to a first electrical signal. The second sensing mechanism includes, a second elastic member and a second movement detection device arranged to transform a movement of the second elastic member to a second electrical signal. When an external load greater than a predetermined threshold is applied on the weighing platform, the first elastic member is arranged to be driven to move and in turn pushes the second elastic member to move. A measurement of the external load is obtained by combining and the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal.

A weight measurement system includes a load-bearing member, a sensing module, a processor, and a prompting module. The load-bearing member supports an object and is made of an elastic material. The sensing module is electromagnetically coupled with the load-bearing member. The processor is electrically connected to the sensing module. The prompting module is electrically connected to the processor. The sensing module outputs a sensing signal to the processor upon detecting a deformation of the load-bearing member caused by the object. The processor processes the sensing signal and outputs a weight signal to the prompting module.

When an unfair gaming currency is delivered to a dealer from a player, the currency is detected as unfair. The inspection system for inspecting the gaming currency, in which an RF tag is built, comprises: a gaming currency tray for housing the gaming currencies of the dealer in a casino game; an RF reader for reading the RF tags of the plural gaming currencies housed in the gaming currency tray; plural photosensors for detecting at least the number of the plural gaming currencies housed in the gaming currency tray at a constant time interval or always in a method other than RFID; and an inspection/alarm part for generating alarms when the number of the gaming currencies whose RF tags are read by the RF reader is not equal to the number of the gaming currencies detected by the plural photosensors.

A heatable optical element for a compound lens, the optical element being adapted to (i) provide a focusing function for the compound lens and (ii) be heated by resistive heating upon application of electricity to the heatable optical element. The compound lens including the heatable optical element may be employed in a camera, with the heatable optical element being the most distal optical element from a light sensor of the camera. A method for operating such a camera comprises detecting a present condition of the distal-most element and controlling application of electricity to control heating of the distal-most element in response to the detected present condition of the distal-most element.

An inspection system of a chip includes a reading device and a determining unit. The reading device is configured to count a number of chips stored in a storage case, the chips associated with a table game and including a chip having a radio tag, read the radio tag while the chips are stored in the storage case, and acquire chip information. The determining unit is configured to compare the chip information of the chips in the storage case with a physical number of the chips in the storage case, determine that there is an abnormal chips among the chips stored in the storage case based on a determination that the counted number of the chips does not match a physical number of the chips in the storage case, and output a result associated with an indication of the abnormal chip.
