The disclosure relates to an adjustable load transmitter for adjusting an alignment between planar members separated from each other by a gap. The load transmitter comprises a set of plates to be received inside the gap, the set comprising two rotatable plates and being adapted for transmitting a load via a load transmission path between the planar members. The load transmission path comprises the rotatable plates. Each of the plates comprises two flat, non-parallel contact faces, and one of the contact faces of the first rotatable plate is in permanent surface contact with one of the contact faces of the second rotatable plate. The rotatable plates are adapted for being rotated relative to each other around one of their respective normal axes.

Sensor apparatus for determining a deformation due to creep in an output of a sensor, said sensor apparatus comprising force means arranged for applying a mechanical force to said sensor, said sensor arranged for measuring, in a current measurement, a displacement of said sensor caused by said applied force and a processor component arranged for determining said deformation due to creep for a next measurement by said sensor.

An analog sensor with digital compensation function includes a deformation part generating a deformation relating to a pressure sensed by the analog sensor; a strain gauge connected to the deformation part and generating a change in resistance relating to the deformation; a strain gauge bridge connected to the strain gauge and transferring the change in the resistance of the at least one strain gauge to output a first analog signal; and an analog-to-digital conversion module converting the first analog signal to a first digital signal, representative of weight. A signal processing and output circuit compensates the first digital signal and converts it into a second analog signal.

A force exerted by a load is determined in a force-measuring device (1) operating under electromagnetic force compensation. The device includes a measurement transducer (18, 118) with a coil (20, 120) movably immersed in a magnet system (19, 119) and a force-transmitting mechanical connection between a load-receiving part (12, 112) and the coil or magnet system. A position sensor (21, 28), also part of the device, determines a displacement of the coil from its settling position relative to the magnet system (19, 119) which occurs when the load is placed on the load-receiving part. An electrical current (24) flowing through the coil generates an electromagnetic force between the coil and the magnet system whereby the coil and the load-receiving part are returned to, and/or held at, the settling position. The magnitude of current and the amount of displacement are used to determine the weight force exerted by the load.

According to an aspect of the inventive concept, there is provided an apparatus for processing an output signal of an analog-digital converter, includes: a first frequency conversion unit for converting a frequency of the output signal of the analog-digital converter so that a band where spurious components exist moves to a band where direct current components exist in the output signal of the analog-digital converter; a spurious component blocking unit for eliminating, from an output signal of the first frequency conversion unit, spurious components which have moved to the band where direct current components exist; and a second frequency conversion unit for restoring a frequency of an output signal of the spurious component blocking unit to the original frequency of the output signal of the analog-digital converter.

A method for producing a force-measuring element (10) having at least one articulation point (20) which separates one region of the force-measuring element (10) into two connected subregions (11, 12) which can be deflected in relation to one another. The method includes: providing a force-measuring element blank (10), removing material from the force-measuring element blank (10) in order to produce the articulation point (20), checking whether the deflection behavior of the subregions (11, 12) which is produced by the articulation point corresponds to a predefined specification, defining a correction form (30) which can be produced through material removal and compensates for an ascertained deviation from the predefined specification, correcting the articulation point geometry using a laser and the previously defined correction form (30), through material removal at the articulation point.

A method for determining the weight of an entity/item to be weighed on a weighing device (1), the weighing device comprising at least a weight sensor and a control unit (4), the method comprising the following steps: /a/ collecting weight raw samples (WSi) of the total weight sensed at the weight sensor(s), at a sampling frequency (F0), and converting each of the weight raw samples (WSi) into digitalized weight raw samples (DSi), /b/ entering sequentially each of the digitalized weight raw samples (DSi) into a Butterworth filter, the latter issuing filtered weight samples (FSi), /c/ defining a rolling window (RW) containing a parametrized number NS of latest filtered weight samples (FSi), /d1/ determining, in the rolling window, the minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) values of filtered weight samples, /d2/ comparing the value of MAXMIN with regard to a parametrized Threshold (T), /e/ if MAXMIN is greater than Threshold (T), repeat steps /a/ to /d2/, and as soon as MAXMIN is less than Threshold (T), output a final weight value (DV), obtained from one or more of the most recent filtered weight samples.
