Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to apparatus and methods for automatic fluid flow system connectors. The system generally includes a load cell interface coupled to a console and a ring connector coupled to a fluid collection system. The ring connector can be releasably engaged with the load cell using an engagement structure such as a latch, locking arm, or spring clip mechanism. The ring connector and load cell can include electrical contacts configured to engage along an axis that extends perpendicular to a surface that the electrical contacts are disposed on. Advantageously, reduced wear on the electrical contacts should extend the usable life of the system.

Abstract: A U-shaped plate for a weighing module and a weighing module having the same are disclosed. The U-shaped plate includes an upper end surface connecting a first and second side surface, each including a bottom end and an upper portion together forming four corners of the U-shaped plate and providing an inverted U-shaped structure formed by bending a flat and straight metal sheet. A lower width of the U-shaped plate is greater than an upper width thereof. The U-shaped plate includes an opening for mounting a sensor which extends from the bottom end of the first side surface to the upper portion of the second side surface via the upper end surface. Each of the four corners provide a recessed structure. When used with a weighing module, the U-shaped plate matches the sensor. An integrated molding design overcomes defects and, realizes safety and practicability.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed, that allow for the determination of a mass of a fluid within a container by first vibrating an external surface of a container, where the container contains a fluid (such as a compressed fluid, a gas, a liquid, a mixture of a gas and liquid, or a supercritical fluid). Then, vibration data is received at the external surface of the container, and the vibration data is then converted into one or more frequencies. The mass of the fluid in the container is then estimated based on the one or more frequencies.

Abstract: The invention relates to current transmission device for a force measuring apparatus, in particular a weighing apparatus, wherein the force measuring apparatus (100) has a housing (102) and a base region as well as a moveable region. The current transmission device has a pressure-resistant housing (202), which can be fixedly connected mechanically to the base region of the force measuring apparatus (100), and a connecting element (216), which, at an outer end region that protrudes from the housing (202), can be fixedly connected mechanically to the moveable region of the force measuring apparatus (100) in an operating state. In an operating state, the connecting element (216) passes through the housing wall (208) in a contactless and ignition-safe manner. The connecting element (216) is embodied as a moveable cable pass-through and directs a first cable (220) into the interior of the housing. A housing-affixed cable feedthrough (206) directs a second cable into the interior of housing. An electrical connection that has a low force shunt is provided in the housing for the two cables. The current transmission device (200) is embodied in such a way that it can be mounted in a housing (102) or externally on a housing (102) of the force measuring apparatus (100). In addition, the invention relates to a force measuring apparatus (100) having such a current transmission device (200).

Abstract: A moving wing waterfowl or migratory bird decoy including a decoy body constructed of a predetermined material with exterior ornamentation to simulate a live waterfowl or migratory bird, the decoy body being arranged in a predetermined orientation to simulate a waterfowl or migratory bird, the decoy body having a top and a bottom. The decoy has at least one decoy wing connected to the decoy body, the decoy wing being constructed and arranged to simulate the wing of a waterfowl or migratory bird. The decoy body is constructed and arranged of a particular plastic material to hyper-realistically resemble a waterfowl or migratory bird. The control and power module is plug and play software controllable. The decoy is mountable on a male type member post via a female type receptacle on the decoy body. The decoy has a biased stabilizer cord that also mimics the legs of the waterfowl or migratory bird.

Abstract: A system to monitor weight of a reservoir or a structure comprises a load cell which comprises an electrical or optical transducer to provide a proportional signal of the deformation, a load cell base support for holding the load cell on the ground substantially about the axis of the support element of the reservoir, a load cell support adapter to attach the loadcell to the support member of the reservoir. The cell support adapter may comprise an opening or a shouldering anchor aiming at facilitating attachment to a temporary lifting device.

Abstract: A gravimetric measuring system (10) includes a balance (12) with a weighing chamber (22), surrounded by a plurality of weighing chamber walls (23, 24, 26, 28); an electromechanical weighing system (181); and an electronic control apparatus (36) controlling the system operation according to routines stored in a memory (363) thereof; and a plurality of functional modules (14, 16), configured to be inserted into module receptacles, arranged on at least one weighing chamber wall (28). The at least one weighing chamber wall (28) is designed as a carrier structure, with recesses (283) which constitute clearances occupying a majority of the wall surface and which form the module receptacles. Either the functional modules (14, 16) or diaphragms (15) without a weighing function close the recesses and are spatially adapted to the recesses.

Abstract: A method of generating feedback for a container load process includes: during a load process for a container at a load bay, controlling a sensor assembly disposed at the load bay to capture sensor data depicting an interior of the container; at a computing device connected to the sensor assembly, detecting, based on the sensor data, a wall of items placed in the container interior; determining, at the computing device from the sensor data: (i) a boundary attribute of the detected wall, and (ii) a composition attribute of the detected wall; comparing, at the computing device, (i) the boundary attribute to a boundary criterion, and (ii) the composition attribute to a composition criterion; and responsive to at least one of the boundary attribute not meeting the boundary criterion, or the composition attribute not meeting the composition attribute, generating an alert for transmission to a client computing device.

Abstract: A floor scale (10) intended for use in an environment requiring hygienic cleaning has a load platform (12) that is supported by a frame (18). A pair of foot assemblies 26, positioned along the sides of the frame, anchor the frame to the floor and provide a base from which the frame and load platform may be pivoted about an axis (A) between an operative position in which an upper surface (14) of the load platform is substantially parallel to the floor and a non-operative position in which the upper surface is angled obliquely relative to the floor. In the non-operative position, a footprint (F) of the floor scale is accessible for cleaning, Structural members of the frame and foot assemblies are substantially devoid of horizontal concave surfaces in which liquids could pool. Locking means is provided for the operative position and at least one non-operative position.
