A weighing apparatus and method enable an object to be weighed while the object and/or the weighing apparatus is in motion. The apparatus and method employ a load cell and an accelerometer that are both mounted on a platform upon which the object is situated. A signal from the load cell and a signal from the accelerometer are combined together to derive a mass of the load. Such combining of the signals may occur via signal processing that may include digital processing and/or analog processing. The load cell and the accelerometer each have an operative direction, and they may be oriented with respect to one another on the platform such that the operative directions are opposite one another to enable the two signals to be input to an analog multiplication circuit to derive a weight of the object. |
