The at least one display and operator control unit is connectable to the weight measuring apparatus in at least two different positions in the region of a top segment thereof, so as to realize improved operability of the apparatus from different sides.

Proposed is a system for measuring a reduction in a weight of food waste, the system including a food waste disposal apparatus measuring a weight of food waste introduced and a reduction in the weight of the food waste and an amount of electric power consumed, a GL server collecting data on the reduction in the weight of the food waste and data on the amount of the consumed electric power and accumulating the collected data, and computing a total of reductions in the weight of the food waste and a total of amounts of the consumed electric power on the basis of the accumulated data on the reduction in the weight of the food waste and the accumulated data on the amount of the consumed electric power, and a public office server receiving the total of reductions and the total of amounts from the GL server.

The present invention relates to an amusement ride (1) comprising at least one vehicle (2) which can move along a specified track (10), wherein the at least one vehicle (2) comprises at least one sensor (30), wherein the at least one sensor (30) is electrically independent of the vehicle (2), wherein the at least one sensor (30) comprises an RFID transponder (35), and wherein at least one RFID receiver (20) is arranged along the specified track (10), which is set up to communicate with the RFID transponder (35) and to read out the at least one measured value from the at least one sensor (30).

In one aspect, an ordering system includes a weight measuring device configured to transmit weight data obtained by measuring a weight of a measurement target object to outside, and an ordering device configured to acquire the weight data transmitted by the weight measuring device. The ordering device includes a storage configured to store remaining amount data of the measurement target object, a calculator configured to adjust the remaining amount data based on the weight data when the weight data is decreased compared with the remaining amount data and not to adjust the remaining amount data when the weight data is increased compared with the remaining amount data, and an orderer configured to execute processing related to ordering of the measurement target object based on the remaining amount data.

A medication dispensing device may include a plurality of trays, each tray optionally including a load cell configured to measure a mass/weight of a medication contained in the respective tray. Each tray is placeable in a medication accessible position and a medication inaccessible position. The medication dispensing device includes a user interface configured to provide instructions and/or other information with regard to access for each medication. A processor provides instructions to selectively place each tray in the medication accessible position, and to determine, based on any change in the mass of the medication placed in the medication accessible position, whether the appropriate amount of the medication is removed from the tray.

A method is provided for optimizing the time required for a scale to weigh a set of ingredients. A weighing tolerance is obtained for each ingredient in the set. Based on the weighing tolerance, a readability parameter is determined for each ingredient. Based on the determined readability parameter, the scale is configured before each ingredient is weighed.

Described herein is a weight or pressure measuring shovel. The shoveling apparatus has a broad blade assembly or scoop assembly including an elongate handle member. A coupler assembly is designed to couple the curved plate assembly to allow angular orientation or movement of the curved plate assembly to be adjusted relative to the handle member. A force transducer converts the weight or pressure of a material on the curved plate assembly into an electrical signal designed to communicate the weight or pressure of a material such as snow, sand, dirt, or ice. A control module in a housing mounted on the elongate handle is designed to receive electrical signals from the force transducer assembly or a load cell assembly. A display assembly is coupled to the electrical scale assembly and control module.

Various configurations of picking and packaging carts are disclosed that can be advantageously employed in Ecommerce and retail settings to improve operational efficiency. Examples can preclude the need for a detour from the item retrieval location to a packaging area, prior to delivery to a shipping area, such as a drop-off point. Some examples include a frame; a shelf rack; accessory support units including a printer holder; multiple shipping container support units configured to hold a plurality of shipping containers of a plurality of sizes; and a packaging shelf arrangement comprising a top shelf providing a flat packaging surface.

The luggage scale strap attaches to a luggage item as a shoulder strap. The luggage scale strap weighs the luggage item, detects changes in the weight of the luggage item, and alerts an appropriate authority when a weight change has been detected by the luggage scale strap in the luggage item. The presumption of the disclosure at bar is that a weight change in the luggage item indicates to the appropriated authority that something has been inappropriately added to or removed from the luggage item. The luggage scale strap comprises a shoulder strap, a control circuit, a personal data device, and the luggage item. The shoulder strap contains the control circuit. The shoulder strap attaches to the luggage item. The control circuit monitors the weight of the luggage item. The control circuit notifies the appropriate authority about weight changes in the luggage item through the personal data device.

A collapsible luggage scale assembly includes a panel that has a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge extending between the top and bottom sides. The panel includes a plurality of sections pivotally coupled together such that the panel is foldable. A processor is mounted in the panel. A plurality of weight sensors is positioned in the panel such that each section includes one of the weight sensors. The weight sensors each are electrically coupled to the processor. The processor is programmed to receive signals from the weight sensors and determines a weight positioned on the panel. A transmitter is mounted in the panel and is electrically coupled to the processor. The transmitter is configured to wirelessly transmit the weight to a receiver.
