Patent number: 12203800Abstract: A system of detecting loading and unloading of mobile containers such as grain carts utilizes two low pass filters to determine whether the contents of the container are changing by subtracting one filter signal from the other, and using the sign of the difference. Weighing performance is improved by utilizing accelerometers to compensate for measurement dynamics and non-level orientation. Failure and degradation of weight sensors is detected by testing sensor half bridges. Loading and unloading weights can be tied to specific vehicles by utilizing RF beacons.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Bitstrata Systems Inc.Inventors: Ian Robert Meier, Michael David Lockerbie

Publication number: 20240060813Abstract: A system of improved weighing utilizes accelerometers to compensate for measurement dynamics and non-level sensor orientation. Fill level of remote combines can be estimated by utilizing their historical harvesting performance and elapsed time or area harvested. Failure and degradation of weight sensors is detected by testing sensor half bridges. Loading and unloading weights can be tied to specific vehicles by utilizing RF beacons. Display location diversity is enhanced utilizing a mirror located as necessary while reversing the displayed image.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Bitstrata Systems Inc.Inventors: Ian Meier, Michael Lockerbie
