摘要:
In an electronic balance for application in potentially explosive areas, the weighing system, the electronic evaluation unit and the digital display unit have an intrinsically safe design with regard to the possibility of explosions. All lead connections are supplied with low voltages and the power unit when present is located outside the electronic balance and connected to the electronic balance via an explosion-safe lead and plug connections with an intrinsically safe design with regard to an explosion. In an alternative the power unit can be encapsulated in a pressure-proof manner, powder-filled, force-ventilated or located outside the potentially combustible gaseous explosive area. It is also contemplated that a battery which is intrinsically safe with regard to explosions can also be used in the housing of the electronic balance instead of a separate power unit.

In conventional fluorescent signaling devices the filament is fed with 50 Hz alternating current and the multiplex frequency of the signal ranges similarly in the area of 50 Hz, so that brightness variations occur with the difference in frequencies. A simple means for avoiding disturbing effect is the circuit of the present invention which divides the heating alternating current voltage into several stages and connects the negative terminal of the supply voltage of the fluorescent signaling device to one of the intermediate stages of the heating alternating current voltage depending on the signaling point that at the instant concerned happens to be lighted.

A weighing machine employing electromagnetic forces having a weighing pan which is mounted at the top portion thereof. An electromagnetic coil is employed in an air gap of a stationary permanent magnet system for generating a compensating force. The coil has a rectangular shape while the permanent magnet system consists of rectangular plates of magnetically active material with the vertical direction of magnetism being above or below the longer sides of the coil. A horizontal compensating force results.

In an electric precision balance with scale on top, protected against the penetration of foreign bodies and with a low-displacement measuring system (1), a parallel-guided balance scale carrier (3) for a balance scale (11) which is guided without contact through a housing opening (4) of a surrounding system housing (2) or protective cap, the balance scale carrier (3) is designed for its part with its part running upward outside of the system housing (2) as a protective hood (8) which covers the system housing (2) at least at the top and the sides and which comprises receiving bearings (9) at the low edge (8') for intermediary members (10) which support the balance scale (11), said intermediary members are surrounded without contact by casings (12) which form foreign-body baffles open at the top and the bottom which are a component of a general housing (7) surrounding the system housing (2) and said general housing comprises drainage openings (17,17') located in its low bottom parts.

Method and apparatus of storing data in an electrically erasable memory connected to a microprocessor to effectively protect data stored in the memory from being unintentionally overwritten in cases of defective operation of the microprocessor, an overwrite protection system consisting of a write protect flip-flop (1) whose two logical states signify "with write protection" and "without write protction" and also a gate (3) in the write line which is controlled by the write protect flip-flop and in whose logical "with write protection" state, write errors are prevented from being conducted to the individual memory locations, and, finally a mechanical switch element (5) whereby these components are connected in such a manner that the write protect flip-flop (1) can only be brought into the one logical "with write protection" state by the microprocessor, while it can only be brought into the other logical "without write protection" state, if and when the mechanical switch element (5) is actuated. The overwrite protection can apply depending on the embodiment to the entire electronically erasable memory or only to the subareas thereof.

LCD display boards for electronic balances frequently also comprise, alongside the digits for the digital display of the weighing result, additional fields in which additional information is displayed by means of alphanumeric signs. The invention suggests that the segments of the digits for displaying the weighing result be individually provided with a line and controlled in parallel in order to achieve a very good display quality and that the segments for the display of the alphanumeric signs of the additional field, e.g. a 5.times.7 matrix, be connected in such a manner that they can be serially controlled in order to prevent the number of lines required from becoming too great.
摘要:
A correction of temperature errors of the measured value receiver is generally necessary in high-resolution electronic balances. This can be accomplished in a known manner by directly influencing the measured value receiver with the aid of an analogous temperature sensor or by digitizing the output signal of the temperature sensor in a digitizer on the output side and performing the correction in the digital signal processing part. The invention has the task of indicating a circuit which permits the high-resolution digitizer which is present in the balance in any case to be used for digitizing the temperature signal without diminishing its preciseness. A switch (25 in FIG. 1) is provided to this end which feeds the output signal of a temperature sensor (27) to the input of the digitizer (15) in addition to the signal of the measured value receiver (1 . . . 13) at certain times controlled by the digital signal processing unit (22). The sensitive measuring path of the balance is therefore not reversed as it is in the case of customary selector switches, but the temperature signal is added to the measured signal of the balance at certain times and calculated by the digital electronic elements.
摘要:
A balance is provided with a digital readout, a display device and transfer device for transferring measured values to the display device at a selected frequency. The frequency can be varied. An accessory circuit is provided for modifying at least the last digit appearing on the display device in response to an arrest criterion or a condition of the balance, such as an open measuring chamber or position of a draft shield. The criterion can be developed from comparing successive measured values.
摘要:
The invention is relative to a method of statically (non-multiplexed) actuating a liquid crystal display which comprises several segments and a common back electrode, using a microprocessor which serially outputs the data to be displayed, and using a serial/parallel converter which statically makes the data to be displayed available for each segment of the liquid crystal display. The invention has the task of achieving recognition of functional error as follows: The data to be displayed is outputted approximately every 0.1 second by the microprocessor and the data for the individual segments and for the back electrode is inverted at every second data output. The failure of components then results in a blinking of the particular segment and is conspicuously indicated in this manner. In the case of alternating voltage actuation of the liquid crystal display, it is advantageous if the clock pulse of the alternating voltage actuation is also inverted at every second data output.
