摘要:
A host apparatus collects the physical or chemical quantities of articles, which have been measured by a plurality of measuring devices, for example, vernier calipers. Each calipers has a caliper unit as a measuring means, a dip-switch, a CPU, a RAM, and a transmitter. The caliper unit has an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The dip-switch is operated, thus setting an ID number of the device, before the device is used. The ID number is stored into the RAM. When the transmission button of the device is pushed, the CPU edits the digital value supplied from A/D converter and the ID number stored in the RAM, thereby forming a serial-data message. This message is transmitted by a transmitter, in the form of a radio message. The host apparatus has a receiver and a host computer. The receiver received the serial-data messages transmitted from the measuring devices. The host computer collects the values measured by the devices and contained in the serial-data messages, in accordance with the ID numbers also contained in the serial-data messages.

A caliper unit has a connector having connecting terminals. The caliper unit measures a value of a product, and generates digital data representing this value. A data-transmitting apparatus has a housing. The housing can be attached to caliper unit. The housing has a fastening ring and a connecting plug. The plug can be connected to the connector of the caliper unit by the fastening ring. A microcomputer including a CPU is provided within the housing. A RAM is also provided within the housing, for storing the digital data input from the caliper unit and also an identification (ID) number assigned to the data-transmitting apparatus. The microcomputer forms a serial-data message from the digital data and the ID number, both stored in the RAM. A transmitter is provided within the housing, for transmitting the serial-data message in the form of a radio message.

A blower supplies compressed air to a predetermined place. The blower is provided with a plurality of compressors, a common air tank for storing compressed air supplied from the compressors, a changeover valve for switching the compressed air taken in from the air tank between a first supply state and a second supply state, and a controller for controlling operations of the compressors and the switching operation of the changeover valve. The controller can select one operation pattern from among a plurality of operation patterns determined by combinations between the compressors and the changeover valve.

A data transfer system for transferring a transfer frame including a plurality of character codes representing a numeral of numerical data to be transferred, error detection data including a parity code for the character codes and a predetermined transfer control code to a controller on a receiver side from a controller on a sender side. In the controller on the sender side, a parity code obtained for the character codes is divided into a plurality of bit groups, a predetermined code which does not coincide with the predetermined transfer control code is affixed to each divided bit group to form divided parity data having a specific number of bits, and the transfer frame is constituted with these plural divided parity data as the error detection data. In the controller on the receiver side, the original parity code is restored from a plurality of divided parity data in the received transfer frame and is used.

A measuring device having a transmitter includes a measuring device section, a data processing unit, a transmitter, and a casing. The measuring device section converts measuring data into a digital value and outputs it. The data processing unit arranges the measurement data obtained in the measuring device section in a transmission data string having a predetermined format and outputs it. The transmitter transmits the transmission data, which is output from the data processing unit, by radio transmission. The transmitter is housed in the casing, which is attached to a portion near an operation section of the measuring device section, together with the data processing unit. An antenna output terminal of the transmitter is connected to the casing or a conductor portion near the casing.

In a length measuring apparatus, a measurement probe includes a core and is movable in an axial direction of the probe. First to third coils are arranged in an order in a moving area of the core in accordance with the movement of the probe. In the B-phase, the first and second coils are primary and the second and third coils are secondary. In the A-phase, the second and third coils are primary and the first and second coils are secondary. CPU first sets a switch in the B-phase and then in the A-phase. A moving amount of the core is calculated from secondary voltage data in both the B-phase and the A-phase.

An oscillator outputs an oscillator frequency corresponding to a moving distance of a probe. A counter counts the oscillator frequency of the oscillator. A computer calculates the moving distance. A display unit displays the moving distance computed by the computer. A voltage booster and a voltage stabilizing circuit are connected between the oscillator and a battery. The driving voltage from the battery is supplied to the oscillator through the voltage booster and the voltage stabilizing circuit, and is supplied to the counter, computer and the display unit without passing through the voltage booster and the voltage stabilizing circuit in order to reduce the power dissipation.

At the start of measurement by a length measuring device, a calibration coil in which the temperature characteristics are known, is connected to an oscillator. The oscillation frequency of the oscillator at this time is counted by a counter and is given to microcomputer. Microcomputer obtains temperature information corresponding to counted numbers with reference to a table of counted numbers versus temperature information which has already stored temperature information corresponding to a plurality of counted numbers and stores the obtained temperature information in a data storage area. In measurement mode, measured values subjected to temperature compensation are obtained according to the temperature information stored in the data storage area.

An oscillator oscillates at a frequency determined by the distance moved by a probe. The probe in contact with an object under measurement, moves according to the displacement of the object. A controller computes the distance moved by the probe from a reference position at predetermined time intervals by using the shift of the oscillating frequency of the oscillator. The controller further decides if the computed distances are within a predetermined range. If the computed distances moved are within that range, the controller supplies the computed distance moved to a transmitter, which in turn wirelessly transmits the distance. When the computed distance moved is outside the predetermined range, the controller does not output the distance moved to the transmitter, nor does it supply the distance moved every four computations of the distance moved.

A meter at each user's house has a bar-coded user number shown thereon, and has a display section for displaying a reading. A data input terminal unit has a bar code reader for reading the user number and a keyboard for manually inputting a present reading. A data recording controller has a meter reading data file having a present reading for each user number. The data input terminal unit radio-transmits a read user number to the data recording controller and radio-receives a previous reading, corresponding to the user number, from said data recording controller. The data input terminal unit computes the amount used from this previous reading and the present reading manually input, and causes a printer to print meter reading data including this used amount on a reading slip while radio-transmitting it to the data recording controller.
