Abstract: An apparatus which measures the body weight of an individual, comprising a platform for supporting the individual to be weighed; a plurality of sensors disposed within the platform for sensing a force exerted on the platform indicative of the weight of the individual and generating an analog signal proportional to the sensed force; electronic means for combining the analog signals from the plurality of sensors to form a combined electronic signal indicative of the weight of the individual; a processor for generating a digital signal based on the electronic signal for driving an electro mechanical actuator for displaying the measured body weight on a display device, the display device comprising a graduated dial having at least one concentrically arranged scale and a rotatable pointer, the pointer driven in rotation by the actuator according to the processor to a position on the graduated dial which corresponds to the measured body weight of the individual.

Abstract: A water seal packing for sealing water at the coupling portion of underwater structures comprising first and second structures; said water seal coupling comprising a first flange, an intermediate body portion, a flexible U-shaped portion and a second flange; each component being formed integrally with each other, said first flange being fixedly secured to said first underwater structure while said second flange being fixedly secured to said second underwater structure.

Abstract: An adjustable balance and indicating device for removably attaching to a beam scale of the type having a balance beam with a distended end thereof movable in an oscillating plane and having further a support adjacent the balance beam. The adjustable balance and indicating device includes a bracket for removably mounting to the support adjacent the balance beam and a coupler having a first end coupled to the balance beam and a second end spaced therefrom. The balancing and indicating device also includes an indicator for illustrating the displacement of the second end of the coupler from a reference position representative of the balance beam being in a balancing condition. A deformable member is included for providing a biasing force on the second end of the coupler to displace the second end to the reference position, thereby balancing the balance beam of the balance beam scale.
