SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING A LEVEL OF HYDRAULIC FLUID IN AN AGRICULTURAL SPRAYER
In one aspect, a system for monitoring a level of hydraulic fluid in an agricultural sprayer includes a drive system, a hydraulic fluid system, and a fill level sensor. The system also includes a computing system communicatively coupled to both the drive system and the fill level sensor. The computing system is configured to monitor the level of hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic fluid reservoir based on data received from the fill level sensor. The computing system is further configured to detect a leak condition in the hydraulic fluid system based at least in part on the monitored level of the hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic fluid reservoir and control an operation of the drive system to reduce the ground speed of the agricultural sprayer in response to detecting the leak condition.

Cooking oil delivery system and method
A delivery system includes a transportation container for cooking oil carried by a delivery vehicle for filling a storage container located at a restaurant. A flexible conduit is temporarily connected between the transportation container and the storage container. The oil is pumped from the transportation container to the storage container. A pressure sensor, carried by the vehicle downstream the pump, monitors pressure in the storage container. A processor operates with the pressure sensor for determining a pressure level in the storage container and controls delivery of the oil for limiting a pressure level to a preselected value. The system waits a period of time and tests the pressure to allow the pressure in the storage container to equalize so that pressure in the conduit at the vehicle is the same as pressure in the storage container. The pressure level is used to establish the amount of cooking oil delivered.

System for Simultaneous Distribution of Fluid to Multiple Vessels and Method of Using the Same
A method of aseptically distributing fluid including fluidly connecting a primary vessel to a fluid distribution system via a feedline of the supply vessel to form a closed system, priming the feedline to purge trapped gases and fluid from the feedline via a purge valve, simultaneously distributing fluid from the primary vessel to a plurality of secondary vessels, sensing a complete fill of the plurality of secondary vessels with the control system, and stopping the distribution of fluid when the complete fill is sensed by the control system.
Improved Methods and Systems for On Demand Fuel Supply
Apparatus for delivering fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank includes a tank operable to contain the fluid and a fluid delivery coupling fluidically coupling the tank to a manifold. A pressure relief valve is fluidically coupled to the manifold, disposed between the manifold and the tank, and coupled to the tank through a recirculation inlet. The pressure relief valve is set at a predetermined pressure threshold and opens when the back-pressure in the manifold exceeds that threshold. The fluid is directed to the tank through the recirculation inlet when the pressure relief valve opens. A fluid transporting mechanism is fluidically coupled to the manifold at a first distal end and a fill cap at a second distal end. The fill cap is coupled to an opening of the fluid tank and fluid can flow from the manifold to the fluid tank through the fluid transporting mechanism.
Thermal controlled hose assembly for dispensing fluid
A thermal controlled hose assembly is provided and includes an adapter which defines an adapter cavity, wherein the adapter is configured to receive a DEF fluid within the adapter cavity, a hose, wherein the hose defines a hose cavity and wherein the hose is connected to the adapter such that the hose cavity is in flow communication with the adapter cavity, a nozzle, wherein the nozzle includes an inlet port and an outlet port and defines a fluid flow channel which communicates the inlet port with the outlet port, and wherein the nozzle is connected with the hose such that the fluid flow channel is in flow communication with the hose cavity and a heating system, wherein the heating system includes a heating element which is configured to be in contact with at least a portion of at least one of the adapter, the hose and the nozzle.
