Systems and methods for antimicrobial application and related data collection are described. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods of the present disclosure include calculating a dwell time or density of workpieces in a vessel; and modulating the one or more conditions of the system based on the dwell time or density of workpieces in the vessel.

A control system for monitoring an antimicrobial application system may include a controller having a monitoring program including an operations unit and an interface unit. The operations unit may include a sensor module operatively coupled to a plurality of sensors positioned to detect operation data associated with the application system in real-time. An adjustment module may adjust the operation of the application system. An analysis module may analyze real-time operation data and initiate a specified response when the analysis indicates that a trigger event has occurred. The response may include issuing a notification to a notification device or initiating the adjustment module to perform a control operation to modify the operation of the antimicrobial application system. A remote monitoring center may control multiple and remote application systems. Mobile devices and a control panel may be operable to interface with operations of the antimicrobial application system via the control system.

An example fluid container fill indicator system generates an alert in response to a change in pressure at the exhaust conduit or the fluid container. In some example, the change in pressure causes a reed or whistle type device to generate an audible alert. In some examples, the alert is a mechanical and/or electronic signal based on a change in position or orientation of a valve in response to the change in pressure.

An apparatus for measuring liquid volume in a container includes a plurality of light sources for emitting electromagnetic radiation (EMR) toward the container, a plurality of sensors optically coupleable to the plurality of light sources, each sensor of the plurality of sensors for detecting the EMR emitted by at least a portion of the plurality of light sources, a temperature sensor for measuring at least one temperature associated with a liquid in the container, and at least one processor for receiving data representative of the portion of the detected EMR from each of the plurality of sensors, comparing the at least one measured temperature to a temperature guideline to identify any temperature events associated with the received data; normalizing the received data based on any temperature events associated with the received data; and converting the normalized data into a signature representative of the EMR detected by the plurality of sensors.

A water level detection device capable of preventing water from overflowing due to a bumping phenomenon or excessive number of cooking objects and capable of detecting a water level inside a cookware, comprises: a first probe; a second probe; a lean angle sensor configured to detect a lean angle of the first probe and the second probe; a capacitance sensor configured to detect capacitance between the first probe and the second probe; and a processor configured to calculate a danger level of the cookware based on an intensity of a current flowing from the first probe to the second probe and the lean angle of the first probe and the second probe; and configured to determine whether the water level inside the cookware reaches the danger level based on the capacitance between the first probe and the second probe.

A utility holder (100) for a soap dispenser, comprises an enclosure (102) adapted to mount on a wall. A holding bracket (106) is attached at the bottom end (110) of the enclosure (102) to accommodate a soap dispenser. A fixture clamp (104) is fastened at the top end (110) of the enclosure (102) for clamping the soap dispenser. A locking mechanism, installed in the enclosure (102) locks the height of the holder (100) as per the dimensions of the soap dispenser. A sensing module integrated at the bottom end (110) of the holder (100) comprises an ultrasonic gel pad (112) to provide an acoustic isolation at the bottom of the soap dispenser to detect the real-time level of the liquid soap present within the soap dispenser.

A vent alarm apparatus, including: a main housing; an alarm/whistle mounted or attached to or within the main housing at a top portion and which has a lower portion that extends downwardly and in a direction opposite from the main housing and terminates in a lowermost end portion of the alarm/whistle, a protective cover attached or mounted to the main housing at a top portion and which extends downwardly and in a direction towards the lowermost end portion of the alarm/whistle. The protective cover has a lowermost end portion that extends beyond and below the lowermost end portion of the alarm/whistle, and allows for an entry of a heating oil, liquid, substance, or material, into the lowermost end portion of the protective cover.
