20080251298 | Portable Handheld Electronic Scale - A portable handheld electronic scale can weigh luggage and other objects. The scale includes an electronic weight-measuring device configured to measure and indicate the weight of the luggage. If the weight of the item of luggage exceeds the weight restriction of an airline, the traveler can reduce the weight of the item of luggage below the weight limit set by the airline by removing some of the contents of the item of luggage. Depending upon the particular embodiment of the scale, a user can comfortably hold the scale either parallel or perpendicular to the ground when the scale is used to lift the item of luggage off of a ground surface in order to obtain the weight of the item of luggage. An audible signal may be given when the measured weight is fixed on a display and/or when it is greater than a set limit. | 10-16-2008 |

20130025945 | SERVER CONTAINER WITH PAYLOAD DETECTING FUNCTION - A server container includes a main body, at least one support plate, at least one angle detecting module, and an alarm module. The main body includes two opposite sidewalls. Two opposite edges of each support plate is interconnected the two sidewalls. Each angle detecting module includes an angle sensor and a controlling module. The angle sensor is correspondingly positioned on one support plate and for detecting a bending angle of the support plate and generating an angle signal corresponding to the bending angle. The controlling module is configured for comparing the voltage of the angle signal with a reference voltage which corresponds to a predetermined degree and generating a control signal upon a condition that the voltage of the angle signal is greater than the reference voltage. The alarm module is configured for generating an alarm upon a condition of receiving the control signal. | 01-31-2013 |
