Abstract: A cordless electronic weighing scale which includes a load receiving element, such as a weighing pan, an electronic circuit including a battery, a load cell operatively attached to the load receiving element for weighing items and generating analog signals representative of items being weighed, an analog-to-digital converter connected with the load cell for receiving analog signals therefrom and converting them into digital signals, a first logic circuit connected between the load cell and the converter to cause analog signals to be transmitted to the converter in an on and off fashion, and a digital display circuit connected to the analog-to-digital converter to provide a digital display of analog signals from the analog-to-digital converter to indicate the weight of the items on the load receiving element. In the system a pulse plus a non-pulse constitutes a cycle and the pulse is about 1% of the cycle and the non-pulse is about 99% of the cycle.
