Title: Johnathan Kilgore and Weight Accuracy Indications for Scales

Introduction

Johnathan Kilgore is an inventor based in Powell, Ohio, whose patent work addresses how scale systems can communicate the accuracy of weight readings. His disclosed invention focuses on helping users interpret weighment results by presenting an estimated error magnitude alongside the weight reading.

Latest Patents

Kilgore is associated with 1 patent: “Methods for Providing Weight Accuracy Indications for Scales, Systems, and Apparatus for the Same.” The invention describes a method in which a controller receives load data from one or more scale sensors and determines a weight reading. It then estimates the weighment’s error magnitude using at least part of the load data, additional data, or both. A user device electronically displays the weight reading together with at least one additional item based on that estimated error magnitude.

Career Highlights

Kilgore’s listed patent work is associated with Mettler-Toledo GmbH, a company involved in weighing and measurement technologies. The patent describes an approach for making scale readings more informative by pairing a measured weight with an indication related to its estimated accuracy.

Collaborations

The provided information lists Eric V. Wechselberger and Daniel Benedum as Kilgore’s coworkers. Their specific contributions to the patent are not stated in the available details.

Conclusion

Johnathan Kilgore’s patent describes a scale system that supplements weight readings with information about estimated measurement error, helping users better understand the accuracy of weighment results.
