FLUID LEVEL SENSING DEVICE
There is provided a fluid level sensing device for monitoring a fluid level in an engine container. The fluid level sensing device comprises a floating device moveable in response to changes in the fluid level, the floating device including a magnetic element, and a sensing circuit comprising at least one solid state magnetic sensor and at least one transistor electrically connected to the at least one solid state magnetic sensor. The magnetic element is configured to activate the at least one solid state magnetic sensor when the floating device is proximate thereto, the at least one solid state magnetic sensor configured to, when activated, drive the at least one transistor to generate a sensing signal indicative of the fluid level.
Fuel/water separator probe
A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a fuel delivery system to limit acidic corrosion. An exemplary control system includes a controller, at least one monitor, an output, and a remediation system. The monitor of the control system may collect and analyze data indicative of a corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. The output of the control system may automatically warn an operator of the fueling station of the corrosive environment so that the operator can take preventative or corrective action. The remediation system of the control system may take at least one corrective action to remediate the corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. One or more sensors may be employed to signal proper operation of the remediation system.
Method and System for Monitoring a State
A system for monitoring a state, for example a filling state of a container, with a first sensor which in operation produces a measured value, and a second sensor which in operation produces a second, discrete measured value. The first measured value and the second measured value are forwarded to an evaluation unit via a common line.

FLUID LEVEL SENSOR-ATTACHED MOTOR PUMP FOR WASHER FLUID
The present invention relates to a fluid level sensor-attached motor pump for a washer fluid, in which a fluid level sensor for detecting the remaining amount of a washer fluid stored in a washer fluid reservoir and outputting a detection signal is integrally mounted to a motor pump for a washer fluid so that an operator can check the remaining amount of the washer fluid through a dashboard of a vehicle and thus can replenish an insufficient washer fluid, in which the fluid level sensor is integrally mounted to the motor pump for a washer fluid to solve a problem in that the motor pump and the fluid level sensor are separately wiring-connected to the washer fluid reservoir to thereby deteriorate workability of wiring so that workability of wiring can be increased and the wiring can be simplified to reduce a defective proportion, in which the motor pump for a washer fluid and the fluid level sensor are integrally manufactured so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and in which the fluid level sensor for detecting the remaining amount of a washer fluid and outputting a detection signal is manufactured by selecting any one of a combination of a magnet and a Hall sensor, a combination of a magnet and a reed switch, and a combination of a Hall sensor and a buoyancy device mounted with a magnet so that the improvement in performance can be achieved through the use of a magnetic Hall sensor having reliability.
Level measurement system
A level measurement system configured to measure minute changes in fluid level. The system integrates a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) to provide highly accurate level measurement. Low friction materials and a timed vibrator are used to minimize fluid static friction effects on level measurement. A second LVDT can be utilized to compare the level of a fluid containment structure with level changes caused by environmental factors such as evaporation, tidal effects, wind, or the like. The system also includes a computing device to record and compare level changes over time. A housing connects the elements of the system.
