摘要： An apparatus and method is provided for coating a surface of a material with a film of porous coordination polymer. A first substrate having a first surface to be coated is positioned in a processing chamber such that the first surface is placed in a substantially opposing relationship to a second surface. In some embodiments, the second surface is provided by a wall of the processing chamber, and in other embodiments the second surface is provided by a second substrate to be coated. The first substrate is held such that a gap exists between the first and second surfaces, and the gap is filled with at least one reaction mixture comprising reagents sufficient to form the crystalline film on at least the first surface. A thin gap (e.g., having a thickness less than 2 mm) between the first and second surfaces is effective for producing a high quality film having a thickness less than 100 μm. Confining the volume of the reaction mixture to a thin layer adjacent the substrate surface significantly reduces problems with sedimentation and concentration control. In some embodiments, the size, shape, or average thickness of the gap is adjusted during formation of the film in response to feedback from at least one film growth monitor.

摘要： Surface acoustic wave (SAW) weighing apparatus and related methods are provided for measuring weight of a load employing a displaceable elastic member that is displaced by the load. A piezoelectric SAW transducer is coupled to the elastic member. The piezoelectric transducer along with an amplifier electrically coupled thereto form a delay line oscillator circuit that is configured to generate an oscillating signal in response to displacement of the elastic member by the weight of the load. A magnet is spaced from a Hall effect sensor. The magnet produces a magnetic field, and the Hall effect sensor is configured to measure strength of the magnetic field which is related to displacement of the elastic member and the weight of the load. Circuitry generates frequency data that characterizes frequency of the oscillating signal. The frequency data is related to displacement of the elastic member and the weight of the load.

摘要： A mechanical resonator device. The resonator device includes a resonator element made of an elastic material under tensile stress and adapted for sustaining at least one oscillation mode; and a clamping structure supporting the resonator element. The clamping structure has a phononic density of states exhibiting a bandgap or quasi-bandgap such that elastic waves of at least one polarisation and/or frequency are not allowed to propagate through the clamping structure. The resonator element and the clamping structure are configured to match with a soft-clamping condition that elastic waves of polarisation and/or frequency corresponding to the at least one oscillation mode of the resonator penetrate evanescently into the clamping structure in a manner such as to minimize bending throughout the entire resonator device. Thereby, bending related loss may be minimized and the Q-factor of the mechanical resonator may be maximized.

摘要： A mass measuring apparatus includes a transferring and gripping device for removing an article from a seat of a movement device, holding the article in a measuring position, and then reinserting the article into the seat. The transferring and gripping device includes a gripping element for holding the article, an actuator for operating with an actuating signal on the gripping element to make the gripping element vibrate at a specific resonance frequency, a sensor for measuring a vibration response signal of the gripping element vibrating and supporting the article in the measuring position, a processing unit for receiving the vibration response signal and controlling the actuator to generate an actuating signal to make the gripping element vibrate at an operating resonance frequency, and then calculating a mass of the article by comparing the operating resonance frequency with the resonance frequency of the gripping element.

摘要： Apparatus and related methods are provided in a surface acoustic wave (SAW) scale for measuring weight of a load. A processor reads a first frequency of a SAW delay line operating in a first mode. A push oscillator injects a frequency similar to but different than the first frequency in order to cause the SAW delay line to operate in a second mode, and the processor reads a second frequency of the SAW delay line operating in the second mode. A difference between the frequencies is calculated and compared to values in a stored table to determine the first mode at which the SAW delay line was operating. Based on a determination of the first mode and the first frequency, the weight of the load is determined. This determined weight can be used to recalibrate an auxiliary weight sensor.

摘要： This disclosure pertains to weighing a physical item while it is moving in a servo-driven conveyor system for e-commerce, logistics, manufacturing and other applications. The introduction of an unknown mass to an electro-mechanical feedback or filter network controlling a conveyance system will modify the steady state behavior of that system in such a way that measuring the phase or frequency shift of an input signal or oscillation will enable us to infer the magnitude of that mass.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for calculating the weight of a load moving on scales (1). According to the method, a load signal of the scales is determined over a period of time using the speed of the load, and several partial load signals (TL1, TL2) are used, the total thereof providing the load signal, a first partial load signal (TL1) displaying a maximum value as long as the load is fully on the weighing section of the scales (1), and a second partial load signal (TL2) displaying a minimum value as long as the load is completely removed from the weighing section of the scales (1), and the speed of the movement of the load is determined from said partial load signals (TL1 and TL2). The invention also relates to scales for carrying out said method, comprising two weighing units (10, 11) with flexible deformation elements on which deformation sensors (7, 15), which generate the partial load signals (TL1,TL2), are arranged.

摘要： A method of determining the predicted usage of gas from a gas cylinder and valve assembly. The method comprises determining, using a sensor assembly and at a time t, the mass of gas in the gas cylinder, the average flow rate of gas from the gas cylinder; and the time remaining until the quantity of gas in the gas cylinder reaches a predetermined level, the time remaining being determined, at time t, from the mass of gas in the gas cylinder, the average flow rate of gas from the gas cylinder, and a predetermined scaling factor selected in dependence upon the proportion of gas remaining in the gas cylinder. The average flow rate is determined based on previous measurements, and the amount of gas remaining in the gas cylinder.

摘要： A method automatically determines a weight of a patient lying on a tabletop of a patient positioning device. A motorized movement of the tabletop along at least one predeterminable axis sets the tabletop in an oscillation via an elastic drive train element, and the patient's weight is determined from a determined oscillation frequency. Therefore, the weight of a patient lying on a patient positioning device can be determined in a simple manner.
