  • Patent number: 7071426
    Abstract: In a combination weighing device, weight measurement devices are respectively connected to pool hoppers and weighing hoppers. When the results of a combination calculation indicate that a combination is not complete, a control unit determines whether or not a total value of a weight value from predetermined weighing hoppers and a weight value from pool hoppers that supply articles to the weight hoppers exceeds a predetermined value. Thus, an over-scale state in the weighing hoppers can be avoided by supplying additional articles stored in the pool hoppers to the weighing hoppers. The present invention provides a combination weighing device that is capable of improving operational efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20060029842
    Abstract: A fuel cell system according to the invention comprises a fuel feeder, a fuel cell stack, a mode control circuit, a bidirectional DC/DC converter, and an electric storage device. The fuel feeder supplies the fuel cell stack with fuel required for the fuel cell stack to generate a predetermined electric power. When the electric power outputted from the fuel cell stack is larger than the load electric power, the mode control circuit makes the bidirectional DC/DC converter perform an operation of charging the electric storage device using the electric power outputted from the fuel cell stack. When the electric power outputted from the fuel cell stack is smaller than the load electric power, the mode control circuit makes the bidirectional DC/DC converter perform an operation of converting the output voltage of the electric storage device into a predetermined voltage and then outputting it.
