The load cell is a force sensor and a transducer that is used to convert a physical force into a electrical signal for weighing equipment. Most conventional load cells are widely used a metal foil strain gauge for sensing element when force being applied spring element in order to converts the deformation to electrical signals. The sensitivity of a load cell is limited by its low gauge factor, hysteresis and creep. But silicon-based sensors perform with higher reliability. This paper presents the basic design and development of the silicon type load cell with an SUS630 diaphragm. The load cell consists of two parts the silicon strain gauge and the SUS630 structure with diaphragm. Structure analysis of load cell was researched by theory to optimize the load cell diaphragm design and to determine the position of peizoresistors on a silicon strain gauge. The piezo-resistors are integrated in the four points of silicon strain gauge processed by ion implantation. The thickness of the silicon strain gauge was polished by CMP under 100 ${\mu}M$. The 10 mm diameter SUS630 diaphragm was designed for loads up to 10 kg with 300 ${\mu}M$ of diaphragm thickness. The load cell was successfully tested, the variation of ${\Delta}$R(%) of four points on the silicon strain gauge is good linearity properties and sensitivity.

흙막이 현장에서 계측은 굴착으로 인한 지보재와 지반의 안정성 확인을 위해 필수적으로 수행해야 하는 중요한 요소이다. 특히, 굴착지반에서 전달되는 버팀대의 하중 전달 추이를 확인하는 하중계는 정확도 유지가 필수적이다. 그러나, 건설 현장에서는 하중계의 정확도를 파악할 수 있는 검증 방법, 규정 등의 연구가 부족하여 제대로 된 성능검사 없이 설치됨에 따라 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 현장에 사용되는 하중계를 전수조사하여 성능검사를 실시하고 외국 제품과의 비교를 통해 불량 원인을 파악하였다. 하중계의 성능검증을 통해 성능검사 기준을 제시하였으므로 본 연구 결과는 신뢰성 높은 하중계를 선택하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Conventional mobile state (MS) and base station (BS) association based on average signal strength often results in imbalance of cell load which may require more powerful processor at BSs and degrades the perceived transmission rate of MSs. To deal with this problem, a Markov decision process (MDP) for load balancing in a multi-cell system with multi-carriers is formulated. To solve the problem, exploiting Sarsa algorithm of on-line learning type [12], ${\alpha}$-controllable load balancing algorithm is proposed. It is designed to control tradeoff between the cell load deviation of BSs and the perceived transmission rates of MSs. We also propose an ${\varepsilon}$-differential soft greedy policy for on-line learning which is proven to be asymptotically convergent to the optimal greedy policy under some condition. Simulation results verify that the ${\alpha}$-controllable load balancing algorithm controls the behavior of the algorithm depending on the choice of ${\alpha}$. It is shown to be very efficient in balancing cell loads of BSs with low ${\alpha}$.

In this paper, we simulate and calculate the stress and output voltage of the beam structure load cells by using FEM as varing physical structure parameters and loading positions. It is proved that stress enhance as the increase of the notch pitch and radius of the load cell, but decrease as the increase of the notch thickness and beam width. The results are good matched for basic formulas of the single fixed beam, and are verified our simulation is correct. Also, it is found that the stress characteristics of the load cell is varied according to loading positions with structure parameters, and caculated output voltage of the load cell approximate to those of the real manufactured ones. As a result, this study will offer efficient design and analysis technique for making special and variety capacity of load cells.

In this paper, the usability of a compact silicon strain gauge load cell in a weighting disdrometer for measuring the impact load of a falling raindrop is introduced for application in a multi-meteorological sensor. The silicon strain gauge load cell is based on the piezoresistive effect, which has a high linearity output from the momentum of the raindrop and the simplicity of signal processing. The weighting disdrometer shows a high sensitivity of 7.8 mV/g in static load measurement when the diaphragm thickness of the load cell is $250{\mu}m$.

최근 기후변화로 인한 집중호우, 태풍 등의 영향으로 산사태가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 산사태를 예방할 수 있는 효율적인 방법은 사방사업이다. 이러한 사방사업의 효율성을 높이기 위해서는 산지에서 유출되는 토사량에 대한 정량적 측정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 산지계류에 Load-cell 센서를 설치하고, 분동테스트를 통하여 계류에서의 적용성과 재하 형태에 따른 출력값을 비교하였다. 개별 및 복합 하중시험을 실시한 결과, Site 1에서 평균 0.4kgf, Site 2에서 평균 0.6kgf 차이로 재하 형태의 영향은 낮게 나타났다. 또한 측정값의 정확도를 높이기 위해 하중계수를 산정하였다. 하중계수를 Load-cell 측정 값에 적용하여 보정한 결과, 두 사이트에서 출력율이 각각 14.8%p, 24.6%p 상승하여 기준값에 근사하게 산정되었다. Load-cell 센서는 수위, 강우 등과 함께 시계열 분석을 통하여 산지 토사유출량을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있었다. 모니터링이 장기간 이루어진다면 산림유역에 대한 토사유출 매커니즘 구명에도 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 Load-cell과 같은 센서를 산지 계곡에 적용함으로써 계측센서 등 관련분야 산업 발전에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study developed and evaluated a load cell-based automatic weighing system for the automated harvesting of laver (Porphyra tenera) in seaweed aquaculture. The current manual harvesting process was compared with the load cell-based automated system, and quantitative measurements of time, distance, and weight were conducted. The results demonstrated that the load cell-based system reduced the unloading time and increased the throughput compared to the manual method. In addition, statistical analysis confirmed that there was no significant difference from the mean in the weight measurement obtained using the load cell-based system. Based on these findings, the load cell-based automatic weighing system holds potential for efficient production and transactions in laver cultivation, contributing to cost reduction and improving the quality of life for aquaculture workers.

A fuel cell power conditioning system for online diagnosis and load leveling under the condition of varying load is developed in this study. The proposed system comprises a unidirectional boost converter and a bidirectional buck-boost converter with a battery. The system operates in two different modes. In normal mode, the bidirectional converter is utilized for load leveling; in diagnostic mode, it is utilized to control load voltage while the boost converter generates perturbation current to implement the online diagnosis function through in-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The proposed method can perform EIS for a fuel cell under varying-load conditions with no influence on the load. The validity and feasibility of the proposed system are verified by experiments, and the design procedure of the proposed system is detailed.

A load cell is a converter that generates voltage signals when a certain force is effected in a given direction. An essential measurement device for electronic scales that indicate weight by numbers. These load cells are being applied in various areas such as daily life, distribution, laboratory and industrial. Recently the study to manufacture load cells in a more simple method while increasing performance is being persisted. In this study based on the comparison of load cells manufactured through single surface processing using strain gauges. Those manufactured through dual surface processing using strain gauges. Ultimately persist a more simple method of load cell manufacturing while increasing its performance. The elements that were compared were linearity, hysteresis, creep and eccentricity which are short tenn performance factors. The conclusion was that single surface processing showed almost identical data as that of dual surface processing, and the load cell error rate(0.005%) also excess regulation. The manufacturing time was shortened while mass-production was possible. Which indicates a development in the weighing industry.
