A product sales data processing system includes: a sensor attached to a bulk food container of a product; and a weighing apparatus. The sensor includes: a sensor module that detects displacement of the sensor; a memory that stores a sensor ID that identifies the sensor; and a transmitter that transmits the sensor ID stored in the memory when the sensor module detects a predetermined displacement value. The weighing apparatus includes: a receiver that receives the sensor ID transmitted from the sensor; and a display that displays product information associated with the sensor ID.

A separated solids monitoring system comprising a pressurised solids accumulator for receiving separated process solids, a weighing platform located inside the accumulator and arranged to carry process solids as they settle in the accumulator, a force transducer located inside the pressurised accumulator and mechanically coupled to the weighing platform to provide a weight signal which is a measure of gravitational force on the weighing platform, and mechanically based pressure compensation means integrated within the force transducer, and arranged substantially to compensate and remove a force offset in the weight signal due to the pressure of fluids in the solids accumulator thereby allowing a fuller measurement range of the force transducer to be used and substantially dedicated to indicating a mass of solids on the weighing platform.

A device for measuring powder bed density (PBD) (powder density for a layer) in additive manufacturing (AM) during operation. The device comprises means for determining a mass of the powder and means for determining a volume of the powder during spreading, thereby allowing determination of the powder bed density (powder density for the layer). The means for determining a volume of the powder comprises a laser assembly adapted to move a laser across a powder layer surface in both left and right directions for scanning. The device further allows for the determination of the layer surface profile as well as static and dynamic powder characteristics of the processes involved in the AM operation.

A food scale comprising: a weighing surface; a bottom surface on a side of the scale opposite the weighing surface; a first bracket adjustably attachable to the bottom surface, the first bracket comprising a first lip that extends away from the bottom surface; a second bracket adjustably attachable to the bottom surface, the second bracket comprising a second lip that extends away from the bottom surface; where the first and second lips are configured to line up with and abut the sides of a cutting board when the food scale is placed on the cutting board, with the weighing surface facing upward.

Weighing and filling apparatus for controlling filling device based on a container weight. A linear actuator for driving a drive shaft coupled to container support unit is included, a weight measuring unit determines the container weight from a detected height of the drive shaft detected by a height detecting unit and a drive signal of the linear actuator at the detected height. A first acceleration signal is calculated from a specified height of the container support unit set in advance and the height detected by the height detecting unit, a second acceleration signal is calculated from the container weight and an expected weight expected to be applied to the container support unit. The container support unit is kept at the specified height by a drive signal calculated from the first and second acceleration signals.
