  • Patent number: 5665941
    Abstract: The accuracy of the output feed rate or output feed quantity of a differential dosing scale is increased by eliminating from the respective feed rate signal or output quantity signal measuring disturbance that can adversely influence the output accuracy. For this purpose, the size of the output signal variations or of the feed rate variations are processed in a fuzzy logic circuit (9) which allocates the respective signals to fuzzy sets, e.g. "small", "medium", "large" in accordance with type and size of the disturbance or interference. The fuzzy logic circuit (9) forms a filter control signal that corresponds to a filtering degree or filter factor. The filtering control signal controls the time constant of a time variable filter (6) through which the differentiated signal coming from the dosing scale load cells is passed prior to processing in the fuzzy logic circuit (9).

  • Patent number: 5661672
    Abstract: A process masks non-relevant measured values in an unbalance signal consisting of a large number of individual measured values and a circuit arrangement determines the unbalance of a rotatable object in at least one measuring plane with at least one oscillation transducer and one angle position pick-up for processing the unbalance measuring signal. A display device displays the unbalance in terms of position and magnitude and/or a processing device further processes the unbalance, in order for a system based on fuzzy logic to take into account any unexpected interferences during the formation of the unbalance measured value. In the case of greatly deviating individual measured values, a system based on fuzzy logic which recognizes the course of the unbalance measuring signal that can be roughly expected masks these values as non-relevant.
