A brewing guide device is provided having a communication device, a processing device, and a display device. The communication device obtains real-time weight information and real-time time information from an electronic scale. In a first brewing stage, the processing device determines whether the flow rate is higher than, equal to or lower than a first threshold according to the real-time weight information and the real-time time information to generate a first display instruction. According to the first instruction, the display device displays a first water line corresponding to the real-time weight information, a first target line corresponding to the first brewing stage, and a first display pattern corresponding to a first display block below the first target line on a display interface, wherein the level of the first water line is lower than or equal to the first target line.

The innovation relates to a device and a method for measuring a powder mass flow for powder cladding. Before the powder cladding, the powder mass flow is set by means of a powder mass determining device and a powder mass flow sensor is calibrated on the basis of the setting. Then a powder switch is used to begin the powder cladding without interrupting the delivery of the powder mass. During the powder cladding, the powder mass flow is monitored by means of the powder mass flow sensor.

A weigh belt assembly includes a weigh belt that has first and second spaced apart rollers and an endless belt trained around the rollers to present a belt run configured to support particulate material. The rollers each have a rotational axis. The assembly also includes a belt drive operably coupled with at least one of the rollers for rotation thereof in order to move the belt run in a direction toward the second roller. The assembly also includes apparatus for delivery of quantities of particulate material onto the moving belt run at a position between the first and second rollers. The assembly further comprises a pivot assembly including a shiftable component operably coupled with the weigh belt in order to permit pivoting and downward deflection of the weigh belt under the load of the particulate material deposited on the belt run. A device for measuring the load experienced by the weigh belt during the deflection thereof is provided. A method of determining the flow rate of a particulate material and/or the total weight of material delivered using a weigh belt is also disclosed.

A method of administering a drug including measuring a dosage rate of a first intravenous (IV) bag connected to a first infusion pump, setting a pumping rate of the first infusion pump, comparing the pumping rate of the first infusion pump to the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag, and adjusting the pumping rate of the first infusion pump to the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag when the pumping rate of the first infusion pump is different from the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag.

Aspects of the disclosure are directed toward a method for providing uroflowmeter data. The method comprises receiving volume sample data representative of volume sample data from a uroflowmeter device, calculating the slope of the volume sample data, and performing additional actions if the calculated slope reaches a trigger threshold. If the calculated slope reaches a trigger threshold, the method may further determine if an artifact is present in the volume sample data. This may include comparing the morphology of the potential artifact to morphologies of known artifacts and comparing the value of the volume sample data before and after the potential artifact. If an artifact is determined to be present in the volume sample data and the volume sample data before the potential artifact is less than or equal to the volume sample data after the potential artifact, remove the portion of the volume sample data which represents the artifact.

A substrate processing system includes: a measuring unit provided detachably with respect to a placement portion of a placement stage; a measuring jig for measuring a processing liquid; a liquid processing unit including a supplier which supplies the processing liquid to the measuring jig; a transfer mechanism for transferring the measuring jig between the measuring unit and the liquid processing unit; and a controller. The controller executes: a process of transferring the measuring jig in the measuring unit from the measuring unit to the liquid processing unit; a process of ejecting the processing liquid from the supplier to the measuring jig; a third process of transferring the measuring jig from the liquid processing unit to the measuring unit; and a fourth process of calculating an ejection amount of the processing liquid based on a measurement value in the measuring unit.

A fluid collection and measurement container includes a first wall and a second wall disposed opposite the first wall. The second wall is secured to the first wall and the first wall and the second wall define an expandable volume therebetween. A first electrolytic element is disposed on the first wall and a second electrolytic element is disposed on the second wall. A first terminal is connected to the first electrolytic element and a second terminal is connected to the second electrolytic element.

Disclosed is a device and method for measuring the magnitude of a seepage force and its influence on effective stress of a formation. The measuring device includes a lower bearing platform having a pressure testing device fixed on an upper part thereof, and a water storage chamber mounted with a seepage water discharge pipe. A confining pressure loading chamber is mounted on the upper part of the lower bearing platform, and the lower bearing platform is used for placing a sample which has 11 measuring points distributed at equal intervals on an outer wall thereof. An upper and a lower permeable pressure-bearing steel sheet are placed on an upper and a lower end surface of the sample, respectively. The invention can improve the validity and accuracy of measurement and make the calculation result of the test more accurate.

A system and method determines an amount of water and water flow rate in a water dispenser system including a container/bottle, using a strain gage device(s) mounted on a structure or plane in relationship to the container/bottle. One or more strain gages are configured in a position to measure force per unit area, exerted by a portion of the water container/bottle in a normal or direction substantially perpendicular to a surface or plane on which the strain gage device(s) are mounted. The portion of the container/bottle is positioned in direct or indirect contact with the one or more strain gages to produce a strain gage signal representative of the amount of water in the container/bottle and periodic sampling of the strain gage signal is representative of flow rate of water from the container/bottle. Signals from the strain gage(s) are processed in a manner that allows the amount and rate of consumption of water to be monitored and determined automatically on-site or remotely.

System and methods for calibrating a coating system are disclosed. Initially, a material is dispensed using an applicator of the coating system for a predetermined time period. A characteristic of the dispensing of the material for the predetermined time period is then determined. The characteristic of the dispensing of the material is compared to a predetermined range and it is determined that the characteristic of the dispensing of the material is outside of the predetermined range. In response, a velocity of the applicator, a pulse rate of the applicator, a temperature of the material, a pressure of the material supplied to the applicator, or a fan width of the applicator is adjusted to change the characteristic of the dispensing of the material.
