Abstract: A load suspension and weighing system for a removable reservoir unit of a portable dialysis machine includes a centrally located flexure assembly. The flexure assembly includes magnets and a number of flexure rings which allow for movement of the magnets about a fixed circuit board. Sensors in the circuit board sense changes in the magnetic field as the magnets move in relation to the circuit board. The magnetic field changes produce a voltage output which is used by a processor to generate weight calculations. The top of the flexure assembly is attached to the interior of the dialysis machine. The entirety of the reservoir unit is suspended by a first internal frame that is attached to the bottom of the flexure assembly. Having a single flexure assembly positioned above the reservoir unit provides more accurate weight measurements while also preventing damage to the assembly from water spillage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a force-measuring transducer which measures forces applied to or generated by a surface of a resiliently deformable structure. Forces applied to or generated by a surface of a structure may be surface forces generated by molecules at the surface of the structure, mechanical forces/pressure generated by placing the structure between objects, forces generated by materials which constitute the structure and which have different coefficients of thermal expansion, attractive/repulsive forces among atoms, or forces generated on a treated surface by ultraviolet (infrared) rays or the like. The transducer is characterized in that it measures forces applied to or generated by the surface of the structure using electrical signals generated in accordance with variations in electromagnetic fields.
