Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of measuring, for diagnostic purposes, parameters that define human motor activity. The method involves registering signals from load cells mounted in the insoles of a pair of shoes, wherein at least two load cells are mounted in each insole, the first cell being mounted in the heel region and the second cell being mounted in the region of the forepart of the foot. The type of motor activity being performed is determined on the basis of the temporal relationship between the signals from the load cells of the two insoles, taking into account the values of said signals. The weight of the individual, including the weight of any additional load being carried, is determined by summing the values of the signals from the above-mentioned load cells, taking into account the motor activity type, and then the individual's motor load is determined on the basis of the type of motor activity being performed and the weight of the individual, including the weight of any additional load being carried. The invention enables real-time monitoring of an individual's motor load, taking into account the weight of the individual, including the weight of any additional load being carried, during various types of motor activity, such as running and walking at different speeds and standing.
Abstract:
Ein Magnetrührer (1) weist ein Gehäuse (2) zur Aufnahme eines Antriebs (3) und eine Halterung oder Aufstellplatte (5) für ein Rührgefäß sowie einen Rührmagneten auf. Für die bodenseitige Auflagerung des Magnetrührers (1) sind mehrere Aufstellfüße (6) vorgesehen, die beweglich oder nachgiebig gelagert und mit einer Wiegemesseinrichtung oder zu einer Wiegemesseinrichtung gehörenden Sensoren verbunden sind, so dass das Gewicht des Rührgutes oder auch eine Gewichtsänderung jederzeit ohne aufwendige zusätzliche Wiegevorgänge ermittelt werden können.
Abstract:
A load cell assembly is used with a scale having a weighing platform, in order to provide a very low clearance above a surface on which the scale is positioned. The load cell assembly has a load cell with first and second arms. A bridge portion of the load cell connects the arms, maintaining them in a substantially parallel relationship, with at least a portion of the second arm having a height that is larger than a height of the first arm and the bridge portion. A fastener attaches the load cell to the weighing platform, on the second arm portion with a larger height. A foot device, attached to the first arm, spaces the load cell above the surface on which the scale is positioned.
Abstract:
A load cell may include a bar having a supported end, an unsupported end and a sensor holding portion disposed between the supported end and the unsupported end. The load cell may further include a plurality of electronic sensors including a first strain gauge pair and a second strain gauge pair disposed along the sensor holding portion. The load cell may further include an interface member directly connecting the electronic sensors for weight calculation responsive to application of a load to the unsupported end. In some cases, the interface member may include a flex circuit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a load cell symmetrical about a central vertical axis and comprising first and second mounting surfaces, each on the same horizontal plane and configured for attachment to a support structure and to a loading fixture respectively.
