로드 셀의 정밀측정 에러의 가장 큰 요인은 온도에 의한 출력특성 변화이다. 본 논문에서는 주어진 어떤 온도 구간에서만 온도특성을 보상하였던 기존의 방법에 비해 보다 넓은 온도구간에서 로드 셀의 출력의 온도 특성을 보상하고 또한 출력의 온도 특성이 기존의 방식에 의한 것보다 개선된 새로운 로드셀의 온도보상 방법을 제안 하였다.

The various errors existing in a weight measurement system in most automatic egg sorting system available in Korean poultry farms have caused a large amount of economic losses to the egg producers. The object of this study was an importance of egg measurement system by changing both the number and the arrangements of load cells to reduce measuring errors. The results obtained were summarized as follow : 1. Four arrangements of load cells were selected as follows : layout I : Conventional one load cell method layout II : One load cell located as egg moving direction layout III : Two load cells located facing each other layout IV : Two load cells located as parallel with egg moving direction 2. The results of egg weight measurement according to four arrangements (Layout I, II, III, IV) showed that the average errors were 1.1218g, 0.5953g, 0.7786g, 0.2793g respectively. This indicated that the Layout IV (measuring by 2 load cells located parallel with the egg moving direction) caused the lowest average error and the best in precision. 3. The average vibration of axis X, y, Z were resulted as $5.1937{\times}10^{-3}G$, $9.3604{\times}10^{-3}G$, and $16.8657{\times}10^{-3}G$ respectively when sorting large sized egg. This indicated that the vibration of axis-Z was relatively higher than those of axis-X, and axis-Y.

A new method for measuring the 3-axis cutting forces of a pick cutter by substituting costly 3-D load cells is proposed in this paper. The proposed cutting force measurement method is capable of estimating the 3-axis cutting forces through mechanical constraints using four single-axis compressive load cells and shoulder bolts. The feasibility of the proposed method was verified by finite element analysis, and the accuracy of the force measurement of the developed force measurement device was investigated by conducting linear rock cutting tests. The tests showed that the new cutting force measurement method is able to measure 3-axis cutting forces with a relative error of approximately 6%. These results imply that the new method could be a suitable alternative to conventional 3-D load cells. In addition, it will allow a significant reduction of approximately 20-30% in the costs required for measuring the cutting force when compared to conventional 3-D load cells.

본 논문에선느 ATM 통신망을 위한 여러 ATM 스위치 모델들 중에서, 내부적으로 블록킹(blocking)이 없고 입출력 단에 각각 버퍼가 할당되어 있는 입출력 버퍼형 교환기에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존에서 스위치 스피드-업(Switch Speed-up) 기법하에서 주로 연구가 이루어졌다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 유니폼 트래픽하에서 Output-port Expansion 기법을 사용한 귀환.손실 모드 및 하이브리드 모드하에서의 셀 손실률을 비교 분석하였다. Output-port Expansion 기법은, 한 타임 슬롯동안에 입력포트 당 하나의 셀만 교환되며, 만약 하나 이상의 셀들이 같은 출력포트로 향하면, 최대 교환되는 셀 수를 K(Output-port Expansion Ratio)개로 제한하는 방식이다. 유니폼 트래픽(uniform random traffic) 하에서 각 모드에 따른 셀 손실률을 비교 분석한 결과, 로드 0.9를 기점으로, 0.9이하의 로드에서는 하이브리드 모드가, 0.9이상의 로드에서는 손실모드가 가장 낮은 셀 손실률을 보인다.

박막의 접착강도를 측정하기 위하여 수직력과 수평력을 동시에 측정할 수 있는 0.1∼100 N 용량의 2축 로드셀에 기반을 둔 스크레치 테스터를 개발하였다. 반도체용 Si wafer 기판 위에 Au나 Al 등의 금속이 관은 박막으로 증착된 제품을 table에 고정시킨 후, 2축 로드셀(x, z)이 장착된 하중센서의 선단에 Diamond Tip을 장착하여 기판과 박막에 하중(z-axis)을 증가시키면서 동시에 wafer를 x축 방향으로 이동시킨다. 이런 방식으로 시료의 표면을 긁으면 박막이 벗겨져 나가 Diamond Tip이 기판에 닿을 때 서로 다른 경도차에 의해 진동이 발생하게 되고, 이 진동을 Acoustic Emission 센서에서 감지하여 Crack 발생 시점의 Load와 Stroke를 찾아내게 된다.(중략)

Emerging fiber optic sensor technologies have shown great potential to overcome the difficulties associated with conventional sensors. Fiber optic sensors are immune to EM noise and electric shock and thus can be used in explosion-prone areas. Several kinds of fiber optic sensors have been developed over the last two decades to take advantage of these merits. There have also been many field applications of fiber optic sensors for structural health monitoring as NDT/HDE. However, very few sensors, particularly a load cell have been successfully commercialized. This Paper Presents a load cell using fiber Bra99 gra1ing (FBG) sensors. The shape of the load cell is a link type, and three FBG sensors are used for measuring strains at three different points. Especially, these strains are processed with a differential method in order to exclude common mode noise such as temperature. Moreover, the sensitivity, the linearity and the resolution of the load cell were successfully verified from the experiment of tension test.

This paper describes the design and development of a smart digital load cell used forweighing installations. Sice the load cell sensor to be used is very sensitive for weight cariation, the load cell must have the temperature stability, low-drift and the high-resolution of the A/D conversion for accuracy. A new analog circuit which is controlled by one chip micro-processer has been developed to reduce the offset voltage and the drift characteristics of operational amplifiers, and has been adapted into the digital load cell. Also, a software algorithm has been developed to obtain the stable and accurate A/D conversion. This software includes a RS-485 communication program to control the digital load cell, which gives a capability of backing-up the calibration data and transferring control data. The simulation and evaluation of the designed digital load cell has been shown as having the good performance. which will give useful application to the weighing installations as a remote weighing sensor.

In this paper, a laser-based non-contact load cell is newly developed for measuring forces in prestressed concrete tendons. First, alumina particles have been sprayed onto an empty load cell which has no strain gauges on it, and the layer has been used as a passive stress sensor. Then, the spectral shifts in fluorescence spectroscopy have been measured using a laser-based spectroscopic system under various force levels, and it has been found that the relation of applied force and spectral shift is linear in a lab-scale test. To validate the field applicability of the customized load cell, a full-scale prestressed concrete specimen has been constructed in a yard. During the field test, it was, however, found that the coating surface has irregular stress distribution. Therefore, the location of a probe has to be fixed onto the customized load cell for using the coating layer as a passive stress sensor. So, a prototype customized load cell has been manufactured, which consists of a probe mount on its casing. Then, by performing lab-scale uniaxial compression tests with the prototype load cell, a linear relation between compression stress and spectrum shift at a specific point where laser light had been illuminated has been detected. Thus, it has a high possibility to use the prototype load cell as a force sensor of prestressed concrete tendons.

So far, the quantified elasticity data of textile fabrics has not been present because the measurement method depends on the knowledge of measurement operators. In this paper, the special manufactured measurement equipment using road cell is presented to measure the elasticity coefficient of textile fabrics in real time. The measurement method is based on the voltage differency among textile fabrics. The textiles with strong elasticity are high voltage produced from road cell. The others are low. The presented method can be applied to visualize the textile, sew the cloth, control quality of textile fabrics. Also, these measurement datum are used to B2B electronic trading system.
