Curb for measuring flood depth in urban area
The present invention provides a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, more particularly, to a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, which is configured to demarcate the boundary between a vehicular roadway and a pedestrian sidewalk to measure the flood depth so that the flood depth in the urban area can be measured without the necessity for additional installation of a separate structure. In particular, the present invention has an effect in that an air contact type water level gauge is installed in a first space of a main body to measure the flood depth, i.e., the level of flooding water based on the internal air pressure of a cylindrical tube so that a pressure sensor is not brought into close contact with the flooding water to prevent corrosion of the pressure sensor, thereby reducing the maintenance and repair costs.

System and Method for Identifying a Fuel Loss Event
In a method and a corresponding system for identifying a fuel loss event, periodic measurements of a measured volume of fuel stored in a fuel tank (mobile or stationary) are received, and a measurement of a dispensed volume of fuel dispensed into the fuel tank is received from a fueling station. A total volume of fuel is determined equal to the sum of the dispensed volume of fuel and the measured volume of fuel last measured prior to receiving from a fueling station. A difference is determined between the total volume and the measured volume of fuel first measured subsequent to determining the total volume. If the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold indicating a fuel loss event, an alert is generated indicating that there is a fuel loss event.
FEEDBACK FOR WATER CONSUMING APPLIANCE
A communication system provides feedback data for at least one water consuming device. The communication system includes a data collection interface, a controller, and an output interface. The data collection interface is configured to receive user data from at least one collection device. The controller is configured to perform an analysis of the user data from the at least one collection device. The output interface is configured to provide feedback data based on the analysis of the user data to a water consuming device.
PARTICULATE HEIGHT CALCULATIONS FROM PRESSURE GRADIENTS
According to examples, an apparatus may include a first pressure sensor to measure a first pressure level at a first height within a particulate material contained in a container and a second pressure sensor to measure a second pressure level at a second height within the container, in which a gas is to be supplied into the particulate material at a predefined velocity, wherein the first pressure sensor is to measure the first pressure level and the second pressure sensor is to measure the second pressure level while the gas is supplied into the particulate material at the predefined velocity. The apparatus may also include a controller that may determine a pressure gradient from the first pressure level and the second pressure level and calculate a height of the particulate material in the container from the determined pressure gradient.

CRYOGENIC FLUID MEASUREMENT
A device for measuring a cryogenic liquid level is disclosed. The device includes an inner cylindrical tube, an outer cylindrical tube that is coaxial with the inner cylindrical tube, the outer tube separated from the inner tube by an air gap, wherein the air gap is exposed to environmental pressure but sealed against cryogenic liquid, and a pressure transducer in pressure communication with the inner tube. The outer and inner tubes may be inserted into a cryogenic fluid chamber, and the depth of the cryogenic liquid may be determined based on the pressure present in the inner tube and detected by the pressure transducer.
