Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0388002A2] There is described an article counting system in the form of an apparatus and a method of utilising the apparatus which counts accurately a number of discrete articles decanted from one container into another. The system is based on the articles impacting a sensor to produce a proportionate electrical signal. The apparatus includes detector means to detect said proportionate electrical signal and produce a second signal when the magnitude of said proportionate electrical signal lies within a predetermined magnitude range. The system has the capability of differentiating between the impact caused by more than one article impacting the sensor simultaneously. The system has particular application in the counting of fish.
