Systems and methods for remotely monitoring contents of a vessel in real-time. Along a shipping route, status of the contents (e.g., volume) is periodically and automatically transmitted to a remote user. A method includes determining volume of contents in a vessel at a first location along a route, determining volume of the contents in the vessel at a second location along the route, and comparing the two determined volumes. If the change in volume satisfies a preset threshold, then the method includes triggering a notification to a remote user.

Methods and systems are provided for determining a fuel level of a fuel tank. In one example, a method may include transiently powering a fuel level sensor responsive to a fuel tank refilling event to obtain a fuel level measurement, maintaining the fuel level sensor unpowered after obtaining the fuel level measurement, and, while maintaining the fuel level sensor unpowered, inferring the fuel level based the obtained fuel tank fuel level measurement and an amount of fuel consumed since the obtained fuel level measurement. In this way, electrical power consumption by the fuel level sensor is reduced while a fuel level indication is provided.

Disclosed are systems and methods for determining fuel economy of a vehicle. The method may include: receiving, by a processor, travel route information for the vehicle and fuel payment information for the vehicle from a first user device through a network; determining, by the processor, an amount of fuel used by the vehicle based on the received fuel payment information; determining, by the processor, fuel economy of the vehicle based on the received travel route information and the determined amount of fuel used by the vehicle; and transmitting, by the processor, the determined fuel economy of the vehicle to a second user device through the network.

A plumbing fixture assembly including a fluid flow detection system for monitoring fluid flow and flow characteristics through plumbing fixtures without contacting the fluid. The fluid flow detection system communicates collected data related to the plumbing fixtures to a water management system, which analyzes the data and provides information to a user through a portal and user interface. The fluid flow detection system also tracks users of the plumbing fixtures for compliance with a hand washing routine. The hand washing compliance data is communicated to the water management system as well.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for identifying one or more water dispensing appliances that are currently using water. In one aspect, the method includes actions of obtaining a dispensing appliance signature, obtaining water consumption data that is based on first sensor data from a first sensor that is installed at the property, identifying a particular water dispensing appliance from among multiple different water dispensing appliances located at the property based on an analysis of (i) the water dispensing appliance signature and (ii) the water consumption data, and responsive to identifying the particular water dispensing appliance located at the property based on an analysis of (i) the water dispensing appliance signature and (ii) the water consumption data, generating output data based on the one or more particular water dispensing appliances that were identified.

A testing device for general aviation carburetors and fuel servos. The testing device is capable of replicating carburetor operating characteristics operation under both naturally aspirated conditions and turbo charged compressed air conditions using sensors to monitor and record the operating characteristics of both horizontal and vertical type carburetors, and compare the data received with predefined values. The testing device measures both test fluid and air flow through a carburetor. A moveable camera is placed within the throttle body of the carburetor being tested providing visual inspection of the fluid atomization with snap shot capability. The testing device also includes flow sensors to record the performance of the carburetor, providing automated data collection with memory storage. The device is fully portable with lockable caster wheels.

A substrate processing system includes: a measuring unit provided detachably with respect to a placement portion of a placement stage; a measuring jig for measuring a processing liquid; a liquid processing unit including a supplier which supplies the processing liquid to the measuring jig; a transfer mechanism for transferring the measuring jig between the measuring unit and the liquid processing unit; and a controller. The controller executes: a process of transferring the measuring jig in the measuring unit from the measuring unit to the liquid processing unit; a process of ejecting the processing liquid from the supplier to the measuring jig; a third process of transferring the measuring jig from the liquid processing unit to the measuring unit; and a fourth process of calculating an ejection amount of the processing liquid based on a measurement value in the measuring unit.

A blood flow disorder detection device includes: a sensor sheet including a flexible substrate and a plurality of sensors provided on the flexible substrate; and an analyzer that analyzes outputs of the plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors measure different types of blood flow information of a living tissue, the blood flow information being obtained by attaching the sensor sheet to the living tissue. The analyzer detects a blood flow disorder in the living tissue by analyzing the different types of blood flow information from the plurality of sensors.

A fluid collection and measurement container includes a first wall and a second wall disposed opposite the first wall. The second wall is secured to the first wall and the first wall and the second wall define an expandable volume therebetween. A first electrolytic element is disposed on the first wall and a second electrolytic element is disposed on the second wall. A first terminal is connected to the first electrolytic element and a second terminal is connected to the second electrolytic element.
