| 20080271929 | Weighing Scale Having Dual Housings - An electronic weighing scale that includes an inner housing and an outer housing surrounding the inner housing. In one embodiment, the inner and outer housings are not secured to one another and are spaced apart by shock-absorbing spacers designed to absorb shock of impact loads such as may be caused by the scale being dropped. The inner housing includes a chassis defining a load cell cavity that contains a load cell. The inner housing also includes an electronics compartment closure that together with the chassis define an electronics compartment that contains electronics of the scale, including display electronics and user-controls electronics. In one embodiment, the electronics compartment is hermetically sealed to protect the electronics from moisture. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20100089665 | Electronic Scale and a Processor for the Care of Weight Change - An electronic scale functions in a normal and a high sensitivity measurement regions. The weights of mother alone and mother plus infant are measured in the high sensitivity region. The difference between the two measurements is the weight of infant alone, which is displayed with a finer scale interval than the normal one. The high sensitivity region is automatically shifted for covering the two measurements. The degree of shift is stored to correct the absolute mother weight. The infant weight is transmitted to a mobile phone, which displays growth curve of infant in comparison with a statistics growth curves provided by a server through the internet. The infant weight is uploaded to the server for incorporation into the statistics. The statistics is based on data gathered form a plurality of mobile phones, which are each authenticated to increase reliability of the statistics against false weight data upload. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20100224420 | COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus processes an input signal from a load controller including an input surface and a load detecting means for detecting a load value applied to the input surface. The information processing apparatus detects a center-of-gravity position of a load applied to the input surface of the load controller based on the input signal from the load detecting means. The information processing apparatus determines whether or not the load value applied to the load controller is smaller than a predetermined value, based on the load value detected by the load detecting means, and when the result of determination is positive, executes a menu operation process based on the center-of-gravity position. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20120031684 | WEIGHING SCALE WITH DISPLAY- AND OPERATING UNIT - A weighing scale ( | 02-09-2012 |
| 20130068542 | WEIGHING DEVICE HAVING A WEIGHING CHAMBER - A weighing device is provided that suppresses air convection currents generated in a weighing chamber in the opening/closing of a door of the chamber with a relatively simple configuration. A weighing space is partitioned into two spaces with a partition plate to form a lower small-capacity weighing chamber, which enables to settle down the convection in a short time if convection is generated in the chamber. Suspended walls adjacent to the doors are attached to the partition plate edge sides along the door opening/closing directions. Even when a door is opened, warm air stagnant in the upper space in the chamber is restricted or blocked to flow out to the outside by the suspended walls, which generates no convection or slight convection, which settles down in a short time, without adverse effect on a weighing operation. The upper space may be utilized for another purpose such as a neutralization chamber. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20140262554 | Wireless Scale Operation System - A system is provided for operating a weighing system and a bulk material handling machinery through a single remote terminal, the terminal being a handheld wireless control unit. The hand held wireless control unit includes a transmitter and receiver which use near field communications to send and receive messages to the weighing system and bulk material handling machinery through a junction box (with its own transmitter and receiver) and control relay (with its own receiver). The junction box can be used to configure the weighing system as well as return data about measured weight recorded by the weighing system. The control relay can pass commands to actuation device that engage mechanisms of the bulk material handling machinery, allowing for remote stopping and starting of the machinery. The system provides improved efficiency by allowing wireless operation of components through a single terminal. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150041226 | WEIGHING PLATFORM AND A WEIGHING SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY WEIGHING A FLOW OF ITEMS - This invention relates to a weighing platform and a weighing system including such a weighing platform for dynamically weighing a flow of items while being conveyed over the weighing platform. The weighing platform includes one or more load sensors used in conjunction with two or more flat weighing sections adapted to be placed on the load sensors. A first support connects the adjacent ends of the two or more flat weighing sections so as to form a continuous 2-dimensional planar surface there between. A second support maintains the distal ends of the two or more weighing sections, when connected together via the first support, at fixed height so as to create a zero weighing sensitivity at the distal ends. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20150060155 | SCALE ASSEMBLY FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED ACCURACY DURING METERING OF FLUID FROM A LIQUID OR GAS DELIVERY TANK - A scale assembly for determining a weight and converted volume of fluid and gas withdrawn from a tank. A plurality of lift cylinders and cam linkages are arranged in paired and perimeter spaced fashion about a perimeter of the tank in extending fashion through an associated support flange. The cam linkages are normally biased in a first position to restrain the tank into contact with the support surface, the linkages being actuated in a second position to release the tank for subsequent elevation by the lift cylinders. A load cell is arranged in communication between each of the lift cylinders and the pallet support surfaces and, upon being recalibrated following tank elevation, measures the weight and converted volume of the delivered fluid. | 03-05-2015 |
| 20150107910 | Method and System to Provide a Person with a Personalized Advice With Regard To His/Her Weight - A method for providing personalized recommendations to an individual, relating to monitoring his or her weight, comprising the steps of /a/ obtaining a plurality of prior weighings for the individual concerned, each weighing giving the total weight and the body fat percentage, /b/ deriving a characteristic curve (S1) for the individual by associating at least the total weight and the fat body mass, /c/ obtaining a target total weight (P2) for the user to achieve by the end of a target period, and therefore a target total weight change, /d/ deducing a target number of calories to burn, corresponding to target changes in the fat body mass and lean body mass deduced from the total weight change, /e/ providing the user with personalized instructions on exercise and/or diet. | 04-23-2015 |
| 20160069736 | REMOVABLE HANDHELD UNIT - A measuring device including a sensor that generates data representing a detected body parameter, such as body fat, body water and weight of an individual. A portable device removably connected to the measuring device for receiving, displaying and storing the data representing the detected body parameter. The portable device may correlate the stored data with an individual user. The portable device is responsive to a personal computer for uploading the stored information thereto. The portable device includes a calibration unit for calibrating the measuring device. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20220136890 | BIOMETRIC INFORMATION MEASURING DEVICE - A biometric information measuring device comprising a control part that determines a degree of matching with respect to a purpose of use that is set in measured data related to multiple body compositions, based on a purpose-of-use matching degree relationship in which a degree of matching with respect to a purpose of use is associated according to a combination relationship about change directions of data related to the multiple body compositions associated by a display order with respect to the purpose of use. | 05-05-2022 |
