  • Material weight measurement system with automatic tare associated with object presence detection
    Patent number: 12013280
    Abstract: A presence sensor combined to a first storage carrier for detecting a presence of a second storage carrier. A load cell measures the weight of the material expelled from the first storage carrier. A scale controller in communication with the presence sensor responds to the presence of the second storage carrier by recording of the weight measurement from the load cell.

  • Animal identification and data association
    Patent number: 11054298
    Abstract: A scale controller is in communication with a weighing scale for receiving a weight signal, translating the weight signal into a weight for the animal, receiving a wireless identification signal from a transmitter on the animal, translating the wireless identification signal into an animal identification value, associating the weight of the animal with the animal identification value, and transmitting to a data storage unit a data packet containing the weight of the animal and the animal identification value.
