The present invention relates to an apparatus (2) comprising a connector (4), a baby bottle (6) which can be coupled thereto having a bottle body (8) and a bottle base (10), and a sensor unit (34) arranged in the bottle base (10) for determining the filling quantity of milk in the baby bottle (6). An object of the present invention is to improve handling and maintenance of the apparatus, as well as determining the content quantity. It is characterized in that the bottle base (10) is releasably attachable to the bottle body (8).

A system for detecting and indicating variations in volume of chemicals in a container is provided. The system includes a retention basin configured to retain the container. The retention basin includes a pressure cell, a basin input interfaces, and a basin controller. The pressure cell is configured to measure a weight of the container. The container is placed on the pressure cell. The basin input interface is configured to allow specification of properties of the chemicals in the container. The basin controller is configured to calculate the volume of the chemicals in the container based on the measured weight of the container and the specified properties of the chemicals in the container. The basin controller includes a basin display configured to display the calculated volume of the chemicals in the container.

The system can include: a container no, a set of sensors 120, and a controller 130. The system can optionally include a robot 140. However, the system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to monitor and/or maintain a fullness level of a container. The system can additionally or alternatively function to enable robotic picking out of the container (e.g., in a pick-and-place setting). The system can additionally function to maintain candidate objects within reach of the robot's end effector to increase robot uptime while minimizing the extent of the robot's required motion (e.g., in the z-axis).

A system for advance notification of replacing or ordering a water bottle based on historical consumption data, and a water dispenser. The system includes a server, a water dispenser, a weight sensor, and a user device. The weight sensor measures weights of a replaceable water bottle on the water dispenser at different times and transmits the weights back to the server, so as to make multiple determinations with respect to the weights and accordingly obtain the consumption of the replaceable water bottle over time, thereby reminding a user to replace the replaceable water bottle and to make a new order.

The present disclosure reveals a level indicator for use with storage tanks on recreational vehicles, where recreational vehicles include but are not limited to recreational vehicles, recreational trailers, buses, airplanes, or boats. The level indicator comprises a sensor attached to the bottom of a storage tank where the sensor is calibrated to indicate the amount of liquid above the sensor in the tank. As the level of the tank changes, a readout meter indicates the volume of liquid present by percentage.

A triple authentication waste level monitoring system for an aircraft includes a point level sensor for monitoring a wastewater level within a waste tank, a load cell for measuring a weight of the waste tank, and a flush counter for counting a number of toilet flushes since a previous service to the waste tank. A controller receives data from these three sensors and determines whether the waste tank is at capacity. The controller can determine waste tank capacity whether or not the point level sensor is faulty and compares the sensor data with various thresholds to ensure accuracy of the waste tank fluid level determination.
