A distribution valve with an integrated flowmeter unit, which exhibits a main flow channel, through which a medium can flow in a main flow direction, and a secondary flow channel branching from the latter. The distribution valve includes a distribution valve housing containing a main pipe, a first conduit pipe connection, a second conduit pipe connection and at least one branch lying in between. The main flow channel in the main pipe runs from the first conduit pipe connection to the second conduit pipe connection. The branch empties into a first housing part, which includes an outlet. The outlet of the first housing part empties into a second housing part, which accommodates a flowmeter body and includes an outlet that forms a third conduit pipe connection. The secondary flow channel runs from the at least one branch of the main pipe to the outlet of the second housing part.

A fluid gauging system for gauging a fluid includes a flow measuring device, an air sealing arrangement, and an electronic circuit. The flow measuring device includes a flow sensor that measures a flow rate of the fluid. The air sealing arrangement seals an inlet of the flow measuring device against an entry of atmospheric air. The electronic circuit includes a processor, a GPS module, and a communication module. The processor generates a data signal based on the flow rate. The GPS module provides a real time location of the flow measuring device. The communication module transmits the data signal and real time location to a remote server. A user device includes a software application that receives the data signal from the remote server and generates reports and statistics. Further, the processor notifies the user device if the flow measuring device is disconnected from the electronic circuit.

A temperature regulation system includes: an electric storage device, installed in a vehicle and configured to perform charge and discharge; an intake duct that leads air of a vehicle interior to the electric storage device; a fan configured to cause the air to be taken into the intake duct; a filter that is provided inside the intake duct and that prevents passage of foreign matter; and a controller that estimates a clogging amount of the foreign matter on the filter. The controller is configured to increase the estimated clogging amount as there increases a total amount of the air that is supplied to the electric storage device accompanying driving of the fan, and the number of times that the vehicle is brought to a state in which air is allowed to flow into and flow out of the vehicle.

A flow gauge scale assembly includes a first scale and a second scale. The first scale is configured to be disposed in a first radial position on a generally cylindrical flow tube through which a ball can move to indicate a flow rate of a flow of gas. The second scale is configured to be disposed in a second radial position that will be at least partially optically misaligned from the first scale when the flow gauge scale assembly is installed in the generally cylindrical flow tube.

A system for automatically measuring and recording when fluid such as urine is introduced to a fluid collection container is provided. The system includes a measuring device that includes a load cell in communication with other various electronic components. The load cell is attached on one end to a fixed object like a hospital bed. At its other end, it is attached to a fluid collection container such as a urine collection bag. When fluid is introduced into the container, the load cell detects a stress change. A strain gauge (or gauges) on the load cell detects a resistance change and reads the change as a voltage change. That voltage change is amplified and digitized and converted to a weight, volume, and flow rate, before being transmitted to a recordkeeping system like electronic medical records. The system thus provides for real time measurement of fluid output collected in the container.

Disclosed is a composite hydrological monitoring system, in which a counterweight component and a test component are respectively connected to both opposite ends of a strip and a plurality of sensors are disposed at different vertical positions. Accordingly, the scour depth can be measured by sensing the location of the counterweight component, whereas the water level and/or flow velocity can be determined by signals from the sensors. When the counterweight component moves downward with sinking of the riverbed, the strip would be pulled down and thus causes the test component to present a change in mechanical energy. Accordingly, the sinking depth can be measured by sensing the change of the mechanical energy. Additionally, since the water level variation would cause signal changes of the sensors arranged in a row along a vertical direction, the change of water level can be determined accordingly.
