A dosing machine for dosing fluid products includes: containers having vertical longitudinal axes and configured to contain fluid products, rotary stirring elements located inside respective containers and operable in rotation by electric motors, and a dispensing head having nozzles connected to respective containers, where each container is associated with a level measuring device having: a floater containing a permanent magnet and free to move inside the container, a magnetic detector arranged outside the container, and having magnetic sensors spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction and each of which is configured to detect a variation in a magnetic field caused by passage in its proximity of said floater, and a control unit which analyzes signals provided by the magnetic sensors to detect a fluid level inside the container and passage of the floater in a vicinity of one or more of said magnetic sensors.

Filling level indicator

A filling level indicator for determining a filling level in a tank, having a resistor network, a contact element, and a magnetic element. The contact element is spaced apart from the resistor network and the magnetic element is movable relative to the resistor network and the contact element. The contact element has a contact region deflectable by the magnetic element. An electrically conductive connection between the contact region and the resistor network is produced by deflection of the contact region. The contact region is formed by a planar tape-shaped element and the contact region has contact portions that are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction. The contact portions are separated from one another by separation regions.

Interchangeable coolant sensor for vehicle applications and methods of manufacture and use thereof

The present disclosure relates to a coolant level sensor device for application in vehicles, comprising three interoperable component parts: a housing component, an interchangeable cartridge assembly, and a resistor pigtail. The housing component may be configured to permanently and/or semi-permanently reside within the engine cooling system such that the housing component may receive the interchangeable cartridge assembly selectively connected with the resistor pigtail. The interchangeable cartridge assembly may comprise a reed switch that may be replaceable when damaged. Further, the interchangeable cartridge mechanism may be configured to connect with the resistor pigtail, which may include at least one resistor, such that the at least one resistor may be removed from close proximity to the high temperatures generated by the engine, thus increasing the life of the resistor components. This three part configuration may allow for the easy replacement of elements of the coolant level sensor prone to failure, without the need to replace functioning components.
