A liquid level detecting apparatus of a tank for a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a main detecting part that detects the liquid level of the liquid in a tank to output a liquid level detection signal corresponding to the liquid level and an auxiliary floater assembly that has an auxiliary floater provided to float on the liquid surface of the liquid in the tank. A gyro sensor is mounted to the auxiliary floater, and an angle detection signal corresponding to an inclined angle of the tank is output by the gyro sensor. A controller determines a final liquid level value by correcting a liquid level value obtained from the liquid level detection signal based on the angle detection signal.

A fluid level measurement system using a buoyant body includes a guide part installed in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of a fluid storage tank, and provided with a space in which a fluid can move therein; a buoyant body inserted into the guide part, and configured to float along the surface of the fluid inside the guide part; and a measurement part coupled to the top end of the guide part, and configured to measure the level of the surface of the fluid inside the fluid storage tank by transmitting a signal toward the buoyant body in the inner space of the guide part and then receiving a signal reflected from the buoyant body.

A float tree for suspending floats within a basin system includes a rod portion, a cap section, movably affixed to the rod portion, and a spring provided between the cap section and the rod section. The spring provides force against the rod portion and the cap section. A first and second cap can be included to seat the spring between the cap section and the rod portion within the float tree.

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 apparatus for monitoring of a level of a liquid within a container, the apparatus comprising: at least one permanent magnet embedded within an attachment band disposed on the exterior wall of the container, or in a float disposed within said container and free-floating or immersed on said liquid, an electric circuitry comprising an electric power source, alarming device and at least one magnetic proximity sensor embedded respectively into the float disposed within said container and free-floating or immersed in the liquid or in the attachment band. The float moves laterally and vertically into and out of proximity of the attachment band, with variance of the level of the liquid, wherein the proximity of the float to the attachment band is sensed by the at least one magnetic proximity sensor, when the float is in close proximity to the attachment band, thereby activating the alarming device to notify a user/caregiver about possible depletion of liquid within the container.
