A CPU executes acquisition processing of acquiring a cumulative time for each temperature of a coolant, conversion processing of converting each cumulative time into a converted value which is a cumulative time at a predetermined reference temperature, and calculation processing of calculating a deterioration level of the coolant based on the sum of the converted values.

In an array-type underwater apparatus for monitoring deformation of a reservoir landslide, an anchor is buried at an underwater monitoring point in a landslide mass, and a floating shell is configured to float on a water surface. A GPS sensor is configured to transmit and receive a GPS signal to obtain a real-time position of the floating shell, a water temperature sensor is used to obtain a water temperature-time relationship, and a gravity wave gauge is used to obtain a wave height-time relationship. An upper end of a pull cord is securely connected to the floating shell via a displacement compensation mechanism, and a lower end of the pull cord is securely connected to the anchor. The displacement compensation mechanism compensates for a displacement after the floating shell floats with a wave. An encoder-type displacement meter measures a real-time distance between the encoder-type displacement meter and the anchor.

An ostomy bag can include one or more sensors for measuring one or more metrics. An ostomy wafer can also include one or more sensors for measuring one or more metrics. The sensors can be temperature sensors and/or capacitive sensors, for example, and the metrics can include bag fill, leakage, skin irritation, and phase of stoma output, among others.

The present disclosure relates to a coupling adapter for a measuring insert for determining and/or monitoring a temperature of a medium including a temperature sensor, which measuring insert can be introduced into a protective tube for accommodating the measuring insert. The coupling adapter includes a base body, including a bore with a diameter adapted to an outer diameter of the measuring insert, and a coupling element, which is arranged on an outer surface of the base body, which coupling element is embodied and/or dimensioned so as to serve for fixing the measuring insert inside the protective tube in a state in which the measuring insert is introduced into the protective tube. The present disclosure further includes an apparatus for determining and/or monitoring the temperature of a medium comprising such coupling adapter.

The present disclosure relates to a measuring insert for insertion into a protective tube for determining and/or monitoring a temperature of a medium in a vessel or pipe, which protective tube at least partially protrudes into an inner volume of the vessel or pipe, the measuring insert including: an elongated tube; a temperature sensor arranged inside an end region of the measuring insert; and a coupling element connected to the elongated tube in the end region in which the temperature sensor is arranged, which coupling element is embodied and/or dimensioned so as to serve for fixing the measuring insert inside the protective tube in a state in which the measuring insert is introduced into the protective tube.

A system includes sensors for monitoring pressure, flow, pump speed, temperature, and/or other signals at the output of a main hydraulic pump, and a processing system executes one or more methods for identification of hydraulic system events, from the signals, corresponding to state changes and performance of the system and/or its subcomponents. Event identification is performed with classification and/or other machine learning algorithms, with generation of novel training data sets. The sensor(s) can also be used to determine power consumption information about the system and/or its subcomponents. The system processes event-associated outputs for execution of actions for improving system performance, along with other downstream applications.

High accuracy temperature measurement devices, methods, and systems for measuring the temperature of medical fluids are described. In embodiments, the devices have the features that they are compatible with the measurement of temperatures in a sealed fluid circuit, thereby promoting compatibility with sterile disposable circuits. Also described are combinations of temperature sensors and conductivity measurement for precise determination of the concentration of ions in a medicament.

A method for dynamically monitoring temperature of a fluid at a heat generating device includes monitoring, using a temperature sensor, temperature of the fluid held in a fluidic sump. A first fluidic flow rate and a second fluidic flow rate are determined. A third fluidic flow rate and a temperature drop of the fluid across the heat exchanger in the active coolant circuit are determined based upon the temperature of the fluid and the third fluidic flow rate through the active coolant circuit. A fluid temperature supplied to the electric machine through the active coolant circuit is determined based upon the third fluidic flow rate and the temperature drop of the fluid across the heat exchanger. An effective temperature of the fluid is determined based upon the temperature of the fluid in the sump and the temperature of the fluid supplied to the electric machine through the active coolant circuit.

A sealing arrangement and method of a measuring device are disclosed, the measuring device having one or more measuring elements that have a surface in contact with a fluid being measured, a fluid chamber for the fluid being measured, and a seal to seal the joint between the fluid chamber and the measuring element. Flow channels have been formed in the measuring device to lead the rinsing fluid in contact with the seal.

A plumbing system for a shower or the like includes a mixing valve operable for delivering a water flow of adjustable temperature from a water source to a dispensing device downstream from the mixing valve. The system further includes a diverter valve between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, and operable to divert a selectively variable portion of the water from the mixing valve back to the water source. A thermochromic thermal indicator, downstream from the mixing valve, may advantageously provide a visible indication of the water flow having achieved a predetermined temperature. The thermal indicator may be a thermochromic PVC conduit, or it may be a fitting having an inlet, an outlet, a thermochromic PVC element therebetween, and a barrier located between the inlet and the outlet so as to define a flow path that includes an interior surface of the thermochromic element.
