  • Apparatus for measuring a biological parameter equipped with a graphic representation display
    Patent number: 7075537
    Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for measuring a biological parameter of an individual comprising measuring means, means for storing and/or for computing values of said parameter connected to a display (3) for graphic representation of the measured parameter relative to a representation axis. The invention is characterized in that said display (3) is designed to adjust the measured parameter relative to a reference zone delimited on either side on said axis by a fixed mark combined with at least an adjacent digital indication.

  • Force measuring apparatus with optical sensor enabling limitation of eccentricity defects in particular for bathroom scales and method of manufacturing apparatus of this kind
    Patent number: 5952647
    Abstract: A force-measuring apparatus is provided having a first plate, a second plate disposed above the first plate and spaced apart from the first plate, an optical sensor having at least one optical fiber disposed between the first plate and the second plate, and a clamp for moving the first plate and the second plate together to compress the optical fiber, thereby applying a prestressing force to the fiber to reduce eccentricity effects.
