Abstract:
A load measuring apparatus includes a waterproof load cell having a load measuring surface, of which the length is substantially equal to a diameter of the substrate, and a base plate that supports the waterproof load cell. The load measuring apparatus is set in a substrate cleaning apparatus like a substrate, and measures a load applied from the roll cleaning tool of the substrate cleaning apparatus using the waterproof load cell.

Abstract:
A torsional sensing load cell, suitable for mounting at support locations of an automotive seat in order to determine weight and sitting position of an occupant of a motor vehicle. The load cell has the shape of a tuning fork, with one arm fixed to a foot attached to a chassis and a second parallel arm, not contacting the first arm, arranged to support a quadrant of a seat by means of a flange on the side of the second arm, causing torsion in the arm. A stop pin arrangement is provided in the load cell to prevent overloading the cell in a high force situation such as a collision.
Abstract:
The characteristics of the wire are calculated, the wire having a cross-sectional shape which is substantially uniform along its length and having a length long enough in comparison with a diameter being deformed. The wire is divided into a plurality of elements with predetermined spacing along the length. When the wire is deformed, the shape of the wire after the deformation is determined. In the determined shape, a tangential stiffness equation using the element as a basis is calculated, and the calculated tangential stiffness equation is translated into a tangential stiffness equation using the whole of the wire as a basis. A global stiffness equation representing the whole wire is calculated from the tangential stiffness equation obtained by the translation. A load or a displacement produced in each portion of the wire is calculated from the global stiffness equation and the determined shape of the wire.
Abstract:
A device having a movable element which floats in a force field. Such placement allowing a minimum of friction. Such element is so placed that it can continuously interrupt and vary an energy field, which variation is then detected as a signal and amplified by appropriate means. Such detection and amplification is then made observable by an appropriate output indicator.

The load cell has the shape of a tuning fork, with one arm fixed to a foot attached to a chassis and a second parallel arm, not contacting the first arm (25 and 31), arranged to support a quadrant of a seat by means of a flange on the side of the second arm, causing torsion in the arm. A stop pin arrangement is provided in the load cell (27 and 33) to prevent overloading the cell in a high force situation such as a collision.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a sensor substrate includes a first end, a second end, and a body. The body contains provisions for accommodating one or more sense elements. The first end and the second end contain attachment points for attaching the sensor substrate to a shaft. In addition, the first end and the second end include curved portions. For a particular end, a spacing of the attachment points and/or a depth of the curved portion may define, in part, a flexibility of the end. This flexibility may be used to control a sensitivity of the sense elements.
