Integration of information during mass measurement using an electromagnetic suspension

The small-sized measuring instruments based on the magnetic suspension can be successfully applied to the solution of diverse technical problems, e. g., for measurement of the mass of the tested material. The algorithms for integrating the information obtained from transducers and other control system components of the electromagnetic suspension are considered. The integration essentially increases the accuracy and reliability of measurements. The paper offers also a game-theoretical approach to the evaluation of the advisability of furnishing the instrument with a built-in data system.
