  • Publication number: 20080053712
    Abstract: The invention relates to a weighing device (3), especially for a combination scale or a multi-point scale, with a force-sensing unit (9) for converting a weight (F1, F2) acting on a load sensor (5) of the force-sensing unit (9) into an analog electrical signal (S1, S2), with an analog/digital converter (11), to which the analog electrical signal (S1, S2) is fed and which converts the analog electrical signal (S1, S2) into a digital electrical signal (M1, M2), and with a controller (13) for controlling the analog/digital converter (11) and for additional digital processing of the digital values (M1i, M2i) of the digital electrical signal (M1, M2) fed to it.

  • Patent number: 4313508
    Abstract: In mail-weighing machines the values determined by a weight measuring device (20) are supplied in digital form to a programmable set-value store (27). The set-value store (27) and the codifier (23) supplying the digital, measured values are connected to the display device (24) via a first multiplexer (26) which alternatively supplies to the display device (24) the output signal (25) of the codifier (23) or that of the set-value store (27). In a manually-actuable selector device (38), different postage tariffs can be set which conform to different groups of addresses of the set-value store. The output of the first multiplexer (26) is one input to a second multiplexer (31). A time clock (32) or other source of information is connected to the other input of the second multiplexer (31).
