A rollover prevention system for a machine is disclosed. The rollover prevention system may include an inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to detect a discharge event of a payload material from the machine and measure a body angle of the machine. The rollover prevention system may further include a controller in communication with the IMU. The controller may be configured to determine an angle of repose of the machine based on the detected discharge event and the measured body angle.

Provided are a system and method for estimating the center of gravity of a walking rehabilitation robot, the system being provided with: a sensor module for estimating the point of the center of gravity, and provided with: a sensor unit mounted on a footplate to sense the pressure when a person walks; output means for outputting a voltage value corresponding to preset conditions according to a pressure signal sensed by the sensor module; and estimating means for calculating an angle value corresponding to the voltage value outputted by the output means, and estimating the center of gravity, wherein a body center can be estimated by obtaining an accurate detection using a small-sized system that has a relatively low-cost sensor module installed therein.

The slider is movably engaged with the longitudinal rail. The crossbar includes a drive member coupled with the longitudinal rail or the slider. The slider includes a pointer. The first support includes a seat and two receiving portions which are arranged on the seat and are movable along a transverse axis. The receiving portions are aligned with each other. Each receiving portion includes a load cell. The second support includes a base and a supporting portion, and the supporting portion includes a load cell. The control unit is coupled with the drive member and the three load cells.

A powered balancing mobility device that can provide the user the ability to safely navigate expected environments of daily living including the ability to maneuver in confined spaces and to climb curbs, stairs, and other obstacles, and to travel safely and comfortably in vehicles. The mobility device can provide elevated, balanced travel.

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for operating a vehicle comprising a tractor and a trailer attached for pulling behind the tractor. A center-of-mass system may determine a mass of the trailer and a tractor understeer. The center-of-mass system may determine the tractor understeer using steering input data describing a steering angle of the tractor and yaw data describing a yaw of the tractor. The center-of-mass system may determine a load center of mass using the tractor understeer and a mass of the trailer. The center-of-mass system may further determine that the load center of mass transgresses a center-of-mass threshold and send an alert message indicating that the load transgresses the load center-of-mass threshold.

A method for non-destructive detection of egg freshness based on centroid measurement. A real-time distance between the centroid position of an egg and the top of a small end of the egg is measured, the ratio of the distance to the length of the egg is defined as a centroid ratio, models are respectively established regarding a centroid ratio change and the number of days the egg has been stored, and regarding the centroid ratio change and the egg freshness, and the number of the days the egg has been stored and the egg freshness are predicted by means of the established models.

A method and an apparatus for measuring mass based on torque equilibrium, including a main blade for supporting and balancing a lever and parts arranged on the lever; a displacement measuring device for measuring a position of the lever; an electromagnetic torquer for balancing the apparatus after a balance weight is coarsely loaded during measuring; a product tooling on which a product to be measured is arranged and fixedly connected. The product tooling is fixed on a slider which freely slides along a guide rail; a locking block is provided to lock the product after the product slides in place; the guide rail is fixed on the level; a laser displacement sensor is provided to measure a displacement of the product along the guide rail; a lifting mechanism is provided to lift the lever and parts arranged on the lever to separate from the main blade.
