A tamper-resistant adherable weight scale is described herein. The adherable weight scale generally includes one or more load sensors, a microcontroller, a display panel, and an adhesive material to adhere a sensing surface of the load sensor, either directly or indirectly, to a bottom surface of an object such that the load sensor can continuously monitor a sensed load of the object when adhered thereto. The microcontroller may further include a processor and memory to log and store the sensed loads or weight measurements in the memory. The adherable weight scale is io particularly advantageous for the continuous monitoring and/or logging the weight of a regulated substance that is added or removed from a container adhered to the adherable weight scale.

A method of determining and identifying acceptable and unacceptable ranges of loads applied to a nose landing gear of an aircraft on the ground during passenger loading and unloading events. A method of determining and identifying acceptable and unacceptable ranges of loads applied to a nose landing gear of an aircraft on the ground during baggage and cargo loading and unloading events. A method of determining and identifying acceptable and unacceptable ranges of loads applied to a main landing gear of an aircraft on the ground during a fuel loading event. A method for aircraft flight crew and ground support personnel to monitor and identify in real-time, unanticipated loads experienced by the aircraft landing gear; to better manage the loading and unloading of passengers, baggage and cargo to and from an aircraft. Pressure sensors are attached to telescopic landing gear, which monitor the working pressure within the aircraft landing gear, and further identify and illuminate an onboard indicator to recognize unanticipated loads experienced by the nose landing gear during the passenger movement within the aircraft cabin while the aircraft is on the ground. Unbalanced fuel loading is recognized by asymmetrical pressures within the main landing gear struts, and identified during the aircraft fueling process.

A system for a vehicle comprises a load sensor configured to sense a load on the vehicle. The vehicle further includes a load indicator where the load indicator is disposed proximate the vehicle such that the load indicator generates an output in response to the load sensed by the load sensor.

Methods of estimating a weight of a vehicle and using the information are provided. Kinematic data of the vehicle, including at least one of a velocity or an acceleration of the vehicle, can be measured at a time. This data can be processed to estimate a weight of the vehicle. This data can be used to adjust autonomous driving, confirm a weight of freight carried by the vehicle, transmitted to external devices, or used in other ways.

A fluid container measurement system employing a load cell linkage member is disclosed. The fluid container measurement system is configured to suspend a load measurement assembly a distance above a support surface. The load measurement assembly houses a load cell and a measurement control circuit. The measurement control circuit is coupled to the load cell and configured to receive electrical signals indicative of a force imposed on the load cell. The load measurement assembly also includes or is configured to receive a load cell linkage member mechanically linked to the load cell. In this manner, a load placed on the load cell linkage member will be exerted on the load cell. Electrical signals generated by the load cell indicative of the force exerted on the load cell can be used to measure the fluid container attached to the load cell linkage member.
