Devices, systems and methods for leak detection are provided herein. Also provided are devices, systems and methods for monitoring and/or measuring fluid usage. In some aspects, a system comprising a sensor, a processing system, and a platform are provided. In some aspects, the sensor may be coupled to a spinning device. The sensor can be configured to detect fluid data, which can comprise, for example, displacement data of liquid and/or movement data associated with the liquid in a container and/or flow data associated with a flow of fluid in a conduit. The processing system can be coupled with the sensor and configured to communicate the fluid data. The platform can comprise an application communicatively coupled to one or more databases storing evaluation data (e.g., known pattern data) and configured to receive the fluid data and determine if there is a leak.

Catalyst flow sensor

FLOW DETECTION DEVICE, COOLING ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND RACK HOSTING A PLURALITY OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES

A flow detection device comprises a fluidic input port connected to a fluidic output port via a channel and a float located within the channel. A specific weight of the float exceeds a specific weight of a fluid injected in the flow detection device. Respective locations of the fluidic input port, of the channel and of the fluidic output port on the flow detection device cause the float to rise within the channel when a sufficient flow of the fluid is injected in the flow detection device. A sensor is provided to detect a position of the float within the channel. The flow detection device may be integrated in a cooling circuit having a cooling device for an electronic device to detect an eventual lack of a flow of a cooling fluid in the cooling circuit. A status of the flow of the cooling fluid is reported to a processor.

Flow rate measurement device

An environment sensor arranged in a measuring chamber disposed in a circuit board receiving portion does not affect a flow of air through a bypass passage, and thus does not affect detection accuracy of a flow rate detection element arranged in the bypass passage. A recessed portion is disposed in a side surface of a base parallel to a flow direction A of intake air passing through a main passage and a communication port of the measuring chamber is disposed in the recessed portion, and thus the measuring chamber is unlikely to be infiltrated by fouling substances, water droplets, and the like contained in the intake air. The communication port has a small length dimension L, and thus an environment parameter of the intake air is likely to propagate to the measuring chamber and high levels of detection response, detection accuracy, and reliability are ensured for the environment sensor.

Composite hydrological monitoring system for detecting scour depth, water level and flow velocity

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.
