Abstract: A weighing device having an endless track to which balances are connected, the track having a region for loading the balances with objects, and a region for letting the movement of the balances during weighing of the objects dampen out so that the balances reach an end position. A position detector disposed at a fixed location along the track detects the end position of the balance and provides an indication of the end position in digital form so that the weight of the objects can be determined therefrom. The detector can take a number of forms including the combination of an optical contrast and a camera and, in addition, can, for example, utilize reed switches, Hall generators, Weigand effect detectors or magnetostrictive detectors in measuring the end positions of the balances.

Abstract: Device for synchronizing two asynchronous rotary field motors, the output of said motors being via reduction gears connected to the movable parts of synchronizers of for instance the selsyn type, said synchronizers being connected to generate a correction signal dependent on direction and value of a positional difference between the said movable parts, said motors being controlled by a frequency converter the output frequency of which is controlled by an electrical input, at least one of said inputs being combined with said correction signal, R.C.-circuits controlling the time function of the said electrical inputs.
