  • Publication number: 20080169131
    Abstract: A working machine such as a wheel loader for moving a load measures the weight of the load accurately. While the load is lifted by a boom of the working machine, a boom angle (?) and a pressure value (P) of a boom cylinder are measured and a boom angular speed (?) is calculated. A corrected factor (?) is determined according to the boom angular speed (?), and a corrected pressure value (P?) is calculated from “P?=P???.” A predetermined table is referred to and the weight (W) of the load is determined based on the boom angle (?) and the corrected pressure value (P) of the boom cylinder. Further, calibrations are performed as needed, and each time when a calibration is made, the average value of the calibrated value and the preceding calibrated value is calculated and data is rewritten to this average value.

  • Patent number: 5701950
    Abstract: There is provided a water feed device for humidification, comprising: an outflow reservoir that is disposed above a humidifier for feeding water into the humidifier by way of a permeation and that is provided with an overflow dam for maintaining a level of the water in the outflow reservoir substantially constant; an inflow reservoir that is disposed upwards of the outflow reservoir and that is provided with a flow inlet; a partition plate that is disposed between the inflow reservoir and the outflow reservoir; and a plurality of drip feed members which are provided in the partition plate for allowing the water in the inflow reservoir to drop by gravity in a form of droplets into the outflow reservoir.
