Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for monitoring food waste. The system includes a weight mechanism configured for weighing a waste receptacle, wherein the waste receptacle is configured for receiving food waste from a plurality of consecutive disposal events before emptying, a processor configured for measuring the difference in weight of the waste receptacle between each disposal event and calculating the weight of a disposal event based upon the difference and a user interface configured to receive at least one indication categorising the food waste in a disposal event by a user. A method for monitoring food waste is also described.

Abstract:
The invention provides a device for cryotherapy with a weighting system, intended to carry out medical and therapeutic procedures with the use of very low temperatures. A device (1) for cryotherapy with a weighing system comprises a reservoir (2) with liquid nitrogen, positioned on a movable base (3) equipped with wheels (4), provided with a head (5) connected to one end of a feeding line (6) positioned with its second end in the reservoir (2) with liquid nitrogen. The device is equipped with an electric heater of adjustable power level connected to a control panel (7) to which a tensiometer sensor (8) is connected, said sensor being positioned in the movable base (3), and the control panel (7) being provided with a socket and control buttons as well as indicator lamps. The movable base comprises a frame (3) comprising an upper part (10) and a lower part (11) coupled with each other by means of articulated joints (12) and an tensiometer sensor (8).
Abstract:
A method for overload protection of a load cell by a relieving mechanism including dispensing a fluid into a collapsible bag that is supported within a support housing, the support housing resting on a plurality of load cells that sense the weight of the fluid; manipulating a plurality of lockouts for relieving the load cells located adjacent to corresponding load cells from a first position to a second position so that the lockouts remove at least a portion of the weight of the fluid from the plurality of load cells; moving the support housing containing the collapsible bag with the fluid therein to a new location; and further manipulating the plurality of lockouts from the second position back to the first position so that the plurality of load cells again sense the full weight of the fluid within the collapsible bag.
Abstract:

Abstract:
"Device to support the ladle for the free-fall casting of molten metal in shells" Device to support the cup (11) or ladle for the free-fall casting of molten metal in shells, equipped with a wrist (10) with a fixed part (12), where the device comprises a rotating shaft (15). The device comprises a sensor (19) to measure the amount of molten metal in the ladle by measuring the flexion of the shaft (15) caused by the presence of metal in the same ladle. The sensor is able to measure the differences in movement between a fairing (17) joined laterally to a fixed part (12) and a stretch of the shaft (15).
Abstract:
The mass of particulate of an effluent gas (12) flowing in a stack (14) is measured with a mass measurement assembly (16) in which sampling is isokinetically controlled by determining in real-time the molecular weight of the effluent gas, and in particular, determining the moisture content of water vapor in the effluent gas. Readings from a pair of flow sensors (110, 130) connected in series and separated by a dryer (54) are compared to provide a real-time moisture measurement of the effluent gas. The moisture measurement is used to determine a total molecular weight of the effluent gas in real-time and the velocity of the effluent gas in real-time for isokinetic sampling during measurement of the mass of particulate flowing in the effluent gas.
