PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that, in a previous vehicle measuring apparatus, depending on the vehicles, it is difficult to see from an operator room whether all wheels (4 wheels) are on a weighing stand correctly or not and a measuring with even one wheel come off can cause erroneous measurement. SOLUTION: A vehicle weight measuring apparatus is provided with a rectangular weighing stand 11 having an area capable of placing every wheel 22-25 of a weighing object vehicle 2 and a load detecting device 12 provided on the weighing stand 11. When the vehicle weight is measured, it is easily possible to determine whether the vehicle 2 is at the correct position or not by providing a vehicle position confirming means 3-5 confirming whether all wheels 22-25 of the vehicle 2 are at the correct position or not.

In an information processing system including a controller device including at least one vibration body, and an information processing apparatus outputting a control signal for the vibration body to the controller device, in vibration of the vibration body, sounds of the periphery are collected, and it is decided whether or not an allophone is generated in the controller device by using a signal of the collected sounds. When it is decided that the allophone is generated in the controller device, the information processing apparatus executes correction processing for the control signal for the vibration body, and outputs the control signal corrected by the correction processing.

A digital scale for computer is disclosed. The digital weight scale comprises a load sensing means; an amplifying/filtering section; an analogue-digital converter; a display section; a connection port for connecting to a computer; a communicating means; a switch for sensing the load and then providing on/off signal; a real time clock; a memory; a power management section; and a controller for communicating with the computer to identify an operation mode. Thereby, if the operational mode is a single mode, the controller processes the data inputted from the analogue-digital converter to calculate a user's body weight and then not only displays the processed data on the display section, but also saves the processed data in the memory together with the time information, and, if the operational mode is a program mode, the controller transmits the data measured in. the single mode to the computer and transmits the data inputted from the analogue-digital converter to the computer.

PURPOSE:To reduce the cost and moreover, to reduce a possibility of the occurrence of an aggregate miss by transferring data between plural digital platform scales and one computer for centralized control. CONSTITUTION:An analog weighing signal (S) from a weighing part 2 of the digital platform scale 11 is converted into a digital weighing signal (T) with an A/D conversion part 4 and supplied to an arithmetic part 6. A tare weight signal and a target weight signal are also supplied from a ten key 8 to the arithmetic part 6. Then, when the tare and an article are mounted on a mounting stand of the weighing part 2, the signal (S) is produced and converted into the signal (T) with the conversion part 4 and supplied to the arithmetic part 6. The arithmetic part 6 substracts the tare weight signal from the signal (T) and calculates a net weight signal of the article which is displayed on a display part 10. When the signal is made stable, it is supplied to a control part 16 via a system controller 14, etc. The control part 16 accumulates the net weight signal for every digital platform scale 11-1n which is stored in a memory 22. Then, when there is a request from a personal computer 24, the control part 16 reads each accumulated value from the memory 22 and transmits it to the personal computer 24 and the arithmetic processing is performed there.

PURPOSE:To eliminate the adverse influence in the tracking process arising from the level difference of a video signal in a scanning direction by adding a vertical line multiplexer, BPF and a target area detector to process the video signal. CONSTITUTION:A vertical line multiplexer 16 reads out a video signal from a frame memory 11 in order of the arranging direction of a photodetectors 9. The BPF17 changes a cut-off frequency by the size of a target. A target area detector 18 is provided for the purpose of measuring a target area. The video signal in a picture element unit is taken out of the memory 11 from the direction in arranging order of the photodetectors 9, i.e., from the direction vertical to a scanning direction to obtain the video signal contg. mixedly offset components caused by the sensitivity difference among the respective photodetectors 9. The signal is then passed through the BPF17 to assure such a band allowing the passage of only the frequency near the frequency component of the target and the unnecessary low band component and high frequency band component of disturbance existing mixedly therein are suppressed. The output signal from a comparator 14 which is subjected to a threshold processing and binary coding is further inputted to said area detector to measure the area of the target and control the cut-off frequency of the BPF17.
