The present invention relates to a device for monitoring a softening device for water, wherein the softening device has a tank for sole for the regeneration of at least one ion exchange element of the softening device, and wherein the device has a scale and is configured to detect the weight of the tank and preferably to determine time changes in the weight of the tank. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of monitoring a softening device for water.

A printer includes a printer body including a cassette station. A label stock cassette includes a label supply hub for holding label stock, wherein the label stock cassette is engageable in a loaded position in the cassette station and is removable from the cassette station for the purpose of label stock replacement. A deflector is selectively moveable between a storage position on the cassette when the label stock cassette is configured used for use with liner-based label stock and a use position on the cassette when the label stock cassette is configured for use with linerless label stock.

Methods and apparatus to identify loads lost from vehicles are disclosed. An example apparatus to identify a load lost from a vehicle includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine a first load carried by the vehicle at a first time, determine a second load carried by the vehicle at a second time after the first time, identify a lost load occurrence in response to a load difference between the first load and the second load satisfying a lost load threshold, and generate an alert indicative of the lost load occurrence.

Methods and apparatus to identify loads lost from vehicles are disclosed. Example instructions cause programmable circuitry to at least determine a first load carried by a vehicle at a first time based on first signals from at least one of pressure sensors or ride height sensors, determine a second load carried by the vehicle at a second time later than the first time based on second signals from at least one of the pressure sensors or the ride height sensors, cause a lost load alert to be presented to an operator of the vehicle in response to the second load being less than the first load by at least a lost load threshold, and at least one of activate hazard lights or limit an output of an engine of the vehicle in response to the second load being less the first load by at least the lost load threshold.
