Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus including a weighing-scale platform, housing, and a plurality of sensors and sensor-data processing to collect a first set of physiological data while the user is standing on the platform. The first set of has an accuracy component that is dependent on or defined using a time-based interval or time-based metric. The apparatus further includes data-assimilation circuitry to provide synchronization by accessing a profile having information for identifying the user, accessing an indication of the time interval or metric derived from the first set of physiological data specific to the user, identifying a peripheral device including physiological-measuring circuitry with a second set of physiological data, the second set of physiological data being from and specific to the user, and while accounting for the time-based inaccuracies, comparing aspects of the first and second sets of physiological data.

A security system for quantitatively verifying a condition of items in a special collections inventory includes a scale in connection with an index of special collection items. Every item in the index has a unique weight within a collection. The scale takes a current weight measurement of a special collections item and automatically reports the current weight measurement to the computing device hosting the index. Using the current weight measurement, the index is searched for a given item by comparing the current weight measurement with a set of indexed reference weights. In response to a match being detected between the current weight measurement and a reference weight among the set of indexed reference weights, a physical condition of the given itemcorresponding with the reference weightis verified as being intact. In response to no match being detected between the current weight measurement and the set of indexed reference weights, an alarm event triggers indicating that the special collections item has been tampered with.

A weight measurement system and a weight measurement method using a robot, by which a weight greater than a weight capacity of the robot can be measured. The system has a robot, a robot controller for controlling the motion of the robot, and an arithmetic processing unit for calculating the weight of an article to be measured. The robot is configured to apply a force to a working point connected to a tank so that at least one of support points or a part of a support surface of the tank is lifted, and simultaneously, the remaining support point or the remaining part of the support surface of the tank is grounded. The weight of the tank containing processing fluid can be measured based on a relationship between the force applied to the working point by the robot and a lever ratio.

A system for monitoring the presence and/or quantity of stock items in a dispensing enclosure having a cabinet controller. The system further comprises a wireless portable device and a central control computer. The wireless portable device receives (s1710) a WSU ID for a newly installed weight sensor unit, and send (s1712) a first notification message (including the WSU ID and indicating that the WSU is in the dispensing enclosure) to the central control computer. The central control computer is configured to send (s1716) a second notification message to the cabinet controller indicating that the WSU is in the dispensing enclosure. The cabinet controller transmits (s1720) a first optical signal using an optical transmitter in response to a door close signal. The WSU, in response to receipt of the first optical signal, wirelessly transmits a first weight sensor reading to the cabinet controller.

A vehicle can include throttle, braking, and steering systems. The vehicle can further include a computing system that obtains, from one or more sensors, data representing one or more of a velocity or an acceleration of the vehicle. The computing system can further determine an estimated weight of the vehicle based on the one or more of the velocity or the acceleration of the vehicle, and autonomously operate the throttle, braking, and steering systems of the vehicle based on the estimated weight of the vehicle.

A system with a first weighing scale apparatus, wherein said first weighing scale apparatus is configured to measure a body weight when said first weighing scale is facing upward and a second weighing scale apparatus, wherein said second weighing scale apparatus is configured to measure an amount of food when said second weighing scale apparatus is facing upward and said first weighing scale apparatus is facing downward. A platform is configured to perform a weight control function. A user interface of the platform is configured to display and accept information. An action button is configured to indicate whether body or food is to be weighed, and a comment section is configured to display a preset alert notification of a status of said weighing scale device.

A computing system determines an estimated weight of a vehicle by measuring kinematic data of the vehicle, including at least one of a velocity or an acceleration of the vehicle. The computing system processes the data to determine an estimated weight of the vehicle. Based on the estimated weight of the vehicle, the computing system can autonomously operate the throttle, braking, and steering systems of the vehicle.
