Liquid-gauging systems for estimating amounts of liquid within collapsible bladders. In some embodiments, a liquid-gauging system of this disclosure includes one or more liquid-gauging sensors that each output a signal relating to an amount of liquid within a corresponding collapsible bladder. In some embodiments, each liquid-gauging sensor comprises a variable capacitor having capacitor plates located so that the spacing between the capacitor plates changes with changing amounts of liquid within the collapsible bladder. In some embodiments, each liquid-gauging sensor comprises a pressure sensor for measuring forces, such as gravitational forces, that change with changing amounts of liquid within the collapsible bladder. In some embodiments, a liquid-gauging system is configured for an aircraft or other moving vehicle and includes one or more additional sensors to adjust the estimating process to account for changes in attitude of the vehicle during use. Corresponding methods, liquid-storage systems, and collapsible bladders are also disclosed.

A fixture for flooding detection that includes a communication interface; a processor; and a computer-readable storage media coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving, from a first sensor, a first signal indicative of a water level at a location within a facility, determining, based on the first signal, the water level at the location within the facility, determining a shut-off condition based on the water level at the location within the facility reaching a first predetermined height, and transmitting, via the communication interface, a shut-off signal to at least one water inlet at the location within the facility.

A bin volume predictor can receive data characterizing measurements of a temperature at a plurality of temperature sensors of a temperature sensor cable that is positioned to extend along a height of the storage bin in an interior of the storage bin and data characterizing measurements of an ambient temperature of an exterior of the storage bin. The bin volume predictor identifies, based on the measured temperature for temperature sensors in the interior of the storage bin, a topmost covered temperature sensor of the temperature sensor cable. Moreover, the bin volume predictor determines, based on the identified topmost covered temperature sensor, an amount of material stored in the storage bin.
