SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FUEL MONITORING AND SPILL PREVENTION
A system, methods, and apparatus for preventing receptacle overfilling are presented. The system can include a sensor member configured to couple with a receptacle and sense a material level within the receptacle, such as via a sight glass of the receptacle. The system can include a controller in operable communication with the sensor member and configured to instantiate the shutoff of material flow from a material dispensing system if a particular material level is detected by the sensor member. The system can include an intermediate member configured to relay communications between the sensor member and the controller. The intermediate member can be coupled to a fluid line and can further act as a holster for the sensor member, such as by facilitating the coupling of the sensor member to the intermediate member and/or the fluid line.

Fluid delivery system and method
A fluid delivery system or method for the same may include features or steps for dispensing, via a nozzle, a first fluid from a first fluid storage tank of at least two fluid storage tanks. The fluid storage tanks may be separately fluidly coupled to a manifold via respective fluid supply lines. A fluid delivery line fluidly may couple the nozzle to the manifold. A residual first fluid may remain within the delivery line after the dispensing step. The system or method may further include features or steps for connecting the nozzle to a clearance tank. A clearance outlet line may fluidly couple the clearance tank to the manifold. The system or method may further include features or steps for purging the residual first fluid from the fluid delivery line into the clearance tank and delivering the residual first fluid from the clearance tank to the first fluid storage tank.

Kit of parts for a module having a nozzle boot and a fuel dispensing unit having a nozzle module assembled with such a kit of parts
This invention relates to a kit of parts that can include top plates, gable cover plates, gable structures each comprising a nozzle boot, side cover plates, and side structures each comprising a nozzle boot. The kit of parts is suitable for assembling a nozzle module according to any one of three configurations. The invention also relates to a fuel dispensing unit for refueling vehicles.
SENSOR TECHNOLOGY FOR FLUID HANDLING PRODUCTS
An oil drum adapter kit may be used for connection to an oil drum containing oil. The oil drum adapter kit may include an adapter body. A fill tube may be connected to the adapter body to allow the oil drum to be filled with the oil. A drain tube may be connected to the adapter body to allow the oil to be removed from the oil drum. A level sensor may be disposed on the drain tube. The level sensor may be configured to sense a level of the oil contained in the oil drum.

Clog detection in a multi-port fluid delivery system
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for apparatus used to detect clogs in a fluid delivery system during CMP processes and methods of detecting clogs in a fluid delivery system during CMP processes. In particular, embodiments herein provide a flow splitter manifold configured to enable monitoring of the pressure of the polishing fluid disposed therein. Monitoring the fluid pressure in the flow splitter manifold enables the detection of clogs in the delivery lines and/or dispense nozzles that inhibit and/or prevent the flow of polishing fluid therethrough or therefrom.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISPENSING SYSTEM WITH OVERHEAD FUEL/AIR DELIVERY
Various multifunctional dispensing systems with overhead fuel/air delivery and methods for using the same are provided. Such a system can include a dispenser system and an overhead delivery unit suspended on tracks above a vehicle drive aisle at a fueling station. The overhead delivery unit can include a fuel dispensing nozzle and an air dispensing nozzle that can be moved about the tracks so as to optimally position the nozzles to be approximately overhead the fuel doors and tires, respectively. Such an arrangement allows a customer to refuel their vehicle and inflate their tire(s) without moving their car between each transaction.
