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.

Wintertime precipitation (snow, Ice, rain over snow) cause more than 89% of structural failures in the US each year*. Insurance industry estimates losses exceed $2 Billion USD each year. These estimates do not include soft costs like lost business days or revenue. ASCE Snow Induced Building Failures Report-August 2012

Roof snow removal is a labor intensive & hazardous operation. Best practices mandate fall protection and careful operational supervision both on the roof and at ground level. The cost to a building owner can range widely depending on the conditions and the type of building and its unique features.

With cost ranging from $1.00 to $3.00 per square foot, a reliable and accurate system for measuring roof loading will give property managers a way to safely and effectively manage snow load monitoring and removal.

In various example embodiments, a system and method for using a mobile device to determine a haul weight are disclosed. A method includes: providing predetermined calibration settings relating force to engine speed for a vehicle travelling at various speeds, altering accelerometer data based on filtered vehicle pitch and roll data, determining that one or more vehicle performance parameters fall within a threshold range, storing a plurality of data pairs that include longitudinal acceleration and drive force, and determining a slope of a line that linearly approximates the plurality of data pairs, the slope indicating a total weight, the total weight comprising a weight of the vehicle and a weight being hauled by the vehicle; and transmitting the total weight to a display.

Example embodiments relate to a power-driven, digitally metered dispenser where cylindrical piston driven jar dispensers of varying diameters are used for transferring repeatable and specific amounts of flowable composition into smaller containers, like HRTicker dispensers, applicators, pumps, syringes, and jars. Dosing is accomplished by dialing the desired dosage and the pressing of a push-button to dispense. The various example embodiments consist of a motor powered threaded plunger that travels in the vertical axis in accordance with a predetermined and programmed linear displacement. The end user dials the desired dispensation into the computers program via a main control dial.

A containment vessel and weight gauge combination assembly for weighing food placed in a container includes a container with an upper edge forming an opening into the container. A scale is coupled to the container and positioned at the bottom of the container for weighing food positioned in the container. A display screen for displaying the weight of the food is positioned in the interior of the container near the upper edge.
