Abstract
The present invention provides a way to monitor using a weight sensor to a high degree of precision the rate of material consumption from a reservoir while in operation by alleviating perturbations due to extraneous forces exerted on the reservoir by the connecting tubes and conduits that carry the material and transmit electrical signals between the reservoir and the other components of the dispensing system.
