In some examples, a system receives sensor data from a sensor of a transport chassis configured to carry a cargo transportation unit (CTU), and determines, based on the sensor data and a profile learned based on past data, whether the transport chassis is loaded with a CTU or cargo.

A method for dosing a product in liquid form in containers includes transferring doses of product by a dosing unit from a feed tank, controlling through a bubble sensor the doses to the containers to detect the presence and volume of gas bubbles in each dose, delivering the doses inside the containers, measuring with a weight sensor a weight of the doses in the containers, and arranging a processing and control unit to receive and process a weight signal of the weight sensor and a bubbles signal from the bubble sensor. The processing and control unit is connected to the dosing unit to modify the pre-established quantity of product supplied for each dose as a function of the weight depending on whether the bubble sensor detects a volume of gas bubbles in the doses that is lower than a predefined reference value.

A vibratory weight-on-wheels (WOW) sensing system is provided for use with aircraft landing gear and a wheel coupled to the aircraft landing gear. The WOW sensing system includes a vibration sensor disposed proximate to the wheel and configured to sense vibratory characteristics of a component of the aircraft landing gear and to issue a sensing reflective signal and a processing unit disposed in signal communication with the vibration sensor such that the processing unit is receptive of the sensing reflective signal. The processing unit is configured to analyze the sensing reflective signal to thereby identify that a landing condition is in effect.
