METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHECKING THE FILL LEVEL OF CONTAINERS
A method for checking the fill level of containers, wherein the containers are transported by a transporter as a container mass flow and measurement data are captured by a sensor unit, and wherein the measurement data are evaluated by an evaluation unit and the fill level of the containers is determined in each case, wherein the measurement data are evaluated by the evaluation unit using an evaluation method that works on the basis of artificial intelligence in order to determine the fill level.
WATER GAUGE FOR ON-SITE MONITORING AND EARLY WARNING
A water gauge for on-site monitoring and early warning includes an alarm part, a control part and a retractable part. The retractable part is fixedly connected with the alarm part at the top, and the control part at the bottom; the alarm part is electrically connected with the control part through a wire; the control part compares the water level measured by the retractable part with a preset threshold, to determine whether the alarm part needs to give an alarm. When the water on the road rises to the warning line of 30 cm set on the water gauge during a rainstorm, the warning light on the top of the water gauge will start to flash, and the water gauge will give an alarm through the speaker, reminding the pedestrians and vehicles not to pass the section for the time being.
Magnetic tag sensor and method for manufacturing same, and riverbed scour detection device
A magnetic tag sensor includes a cylinder and threaded pipe embedded therein and simulates a magnetic dipole; two threaded pipe wiring interfaces being connected to first and second cables, running through a cylinder upper cross-section outer wall and extending out of the cylinder; the cylinder is sleeved on a guide rail and at a junction between a riverbed and water; an guide rail end inserts into the riverbed, a water sealing box is mounted on a top of the guide rail, a power supply module, a relay and a load arranged inside the water sealing box, the first cable connected to a positive pole of the power supply module, and the second cable connected to a negative pole through the relay and load connected in series; and the threaded pipe in the wall of the cylinder moves up and down with the riverbed to generate a magnetic field signal.
AUTONOMOUS SENSOR DEVICE AND EXPANSION MODULE
A base sensor for process variable determination in an industrial environment. The base sensor includes first wireless communication circuitry that transmits signals to a first expansion device and/or receives signals from the first expansion device, and a first housing including a first receiving device that receives the first expansion device or a second housing, the first housing completely enclosing the base sensor.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FLUID CONTAINER VOLUME INDICATOR
An example fluid container fill indicator system generates an alert in response to a change in pressure at the exhaust conduit or the fluid container. In some example, the change in pressure causes a reed or whistle type device to generate an audible alert. In some examples, the alert is a mechanical and/or electronic signal based on a change in position or orientation of a valve in response to the change in pressure.
Oil-field electronic run tickets
Provided is a process including: receiving a tank-nearly-full message indicating that a tank at an oil or gas related facility is or will be ready for a truck to unload and transport fluid accumulating in the tank; in response to the tank-nearly-full message, creating a tank-run record; sending a description of the tank-run to a mobile device of a driver of an oilfield truck; receiving, from the mobile device of the driver of the oilfield truck, a tank-run claimed message indicating that the driver will drive to the oil or gas related facility and transport at least some of the fluid accumulating in the tank; and after the tank-run claimed message, performing steps including: confirming that the tank-run has not yet been claimed; after the confirmation, designating the tank-run as claimed by the driver; and sending confirmation to the mobile device of the driver.

LN2 FILL GAUGE LEVEL INDICATING DEVICE
Method, system, apparatus, and/or device for determining when the dewar is filled with a medium. The fill gauge level apparatus includes a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body has a base on one end, a flange on an opposite open end and a cavity. The fill gauge level apparatus includes a fill gauge level device. The fill gauge level device is coupled to the cylindrical body and is positioned within the cavity. The fill gauge level devices includes a sensor for measuring a medium within a shipper. The fill gauge level devices includes an indicator. The indicator provides an indication when the medium has been filled to a threshold level within the shipper.
INUNDATION DAMAGE DETERMINATION DEVICE, INUNDATION DAMAGE DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Provided are an inundation damage determination device, an inundation damage determination method, and a program for determining inundation damage of a house without disposing a sensor in advance or visiting an inundated site. An image including a water surface is acquired, a reference object, which is a reference for a height, is detected from the image, a total length and a position of the reference object are acquired, a length above the water surface of the reference object in the image is measured, and a water level of the water surface is measured from a difference between the total length of the reference object and the length above the water surface of the reference object, the water level of the water surface and the position of the reference object are stored in association with each other, a position of a house, which is a target of an inundation damage determination, is acquired, an inundation water level of the house is decided from the position associated with the water level of the water surface and the position of the house, and a degree of damage of the house from the inundation water level is determined.
SYSTEM FOR INDICATING FLUID LEVEL IN FLUID TANKS OF MACHINES
A system for indicating a fluid level in a fluid tank of a machine includes a plurality of lighting units and at least one indicia. The lighting units are sequentially arranged with respect to each other and configured to be sequentially activated or sequentially deactivated to correspondingly indicate a real-time level of a fluid in the fluid tank. The indicia is disposed along the lighting units to correspondingly indicate at least one threshold level of the fluid in the fluid tank. The indicia allows inference of the real-time level to recede below the at least one threshold level if a sequential deactivation of the lighting units moves past the indicia in a first direction. In addition, the indicia allows inference of the real-time level to exceed the at least one threshold level if a sequential activation of the lighting units moves past the indicia in a second direction.
