A system includes a sensor configured to be disposed within a reservoir of a machine having moving parts that are lubricated by a liquid in the reservoir. The sensor is configured to obtain a measurement of the liquid that is representative of at least one of a quantity or quality of the liquid in the reservoir. The system also includes a device body operably coupled to the sensor. The device body has a processing unit that is operably coupled to the sensor and configured to generate first data signals representative of the measurement of the liquid. The device body also includes a transmitter that is configured to wirelessly communicate the first data signals to a remote reader.

A system and method for evaluating power transformers is disclosed. The method includes the steps of acquiring data representing one or more parameters of a power transformer, using rules to derive one or more broad physical conditions of the power transformer from the acquired data, and using the broad physical conditions as inputs to compute a plurality of indices. Each index represents a category of failure mechanisms of the power transformer. The method further includes the steps of using the plurality of indices to determine a corrective action and performing the corrective action on the power transformer.

The present invention relates to a method and system for determining the void fraction of a multi-phase system in a channel. The method comprises the steps of measuring a void fraction dependent parameter of the multi-phase system, obtaining a flow regime of the multi-phase system, and determining the void fraction of the multi-phase system taking into account a set of one or more relationships between the void fraction dependent parameter and the void fraction, the set of relationships being specific for the obtained flow regime.
