Latest Patents
Catrambone holds a patent for an "Electronic control system for a weighing scale." This invention describes a weighing system that operates in conjunction with a scale featuring a trigger mechanism to terminate the flow of material into the scale's bucket. The system periodically revises a tare signal stored in a latch circuit, which is combined with a weight signal to produce a net weight signal. The tare signal accounts for any residue stuck in the scale bucket. Additionally, a programmable controller is utilized to periodically reset the tare signal and evaluate final weight data, determining the average weight and standard deviation. These calculations help the controller adjust the triggering of flow termination to ensure that final weights closely match a predetermined target. The invention also includes a volume sensor to detect whether the weighed material meets a minimum volume requirement.
