  • System and method for weighing coupled-in-motion railcars loaded with displaceable material
    Patent number: 8723059
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the accurate weighing of coupled-in-motion railcars carrying a flowable or otherwise displaceable material. Systems of the invention employ a scale having a pair of independent scale platforms, each of which captures weight readings while a wheel carriage of a given railcar is isolated thereon. Weight data captured by the scale platforms is analyzed and combined to determine an accurate weight for the associated railcar.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2014
    Assignee: Mettler-Toledo, LLC
    Inventors: Edwin B. Wagstaff, Andrey Korolkov, Stephan Horlak

  • System for the measurement of the cut length of moving articles
    Patent number: 6201604
    Abstract: A system and process are described in which moving articles that are cut during a manufacturing process have their cut length measured with the use of an electronic light emitting scanner in combination with a light receiver. Accurate cut length measurements are obtained from mathematical processing of the light receiving information electronically gathered from the apparatus of the system.
