Disclosed herein is a telemetric fitting for a liquid-level gauge, the telemetric fitting being configured to derive liquid-level information from the liquid-level gauge when attached thereto and wirelessly transmit at radio frequencies the liquid-level information.

A base sensor for process variable determination in an industrial environment. The base sensor includes first wireless communication circuitry that transmits signals to a first expansion device and/or receives signals from the first expansion device, and a first housing including a first receiving device that receives the first expansion device or a second housing, the first housing completely enclosing the base sensor.

A measuring assembly with at least two measuring devices and a higher-level unit, characterized in that the measuring assembly further has a network distributor, wherein the measuring devices are connected to the network distributor via a two-wire Ethernet connection, the measuring devices are fully supplied with power via the two-wire Ethernet connection, and the network distributor is connected to the higher-level unit with an Ethernet connection.

A gas meter (10) includes a normal measurement mode in which the flow rate is measured in a predetermined sampling period and a detailed measurement mode in which the flow rate is measured in a sampling period shorter than the predetermined sampling period in the normal measurement mode. A center device (40) gives an instruction to the gas meter (10) to measure the flow rate in the detailed measurement mode. The center device (40) further collects flow rate data measured in the detailed measurement mode from the gas meter (10), and generates, based on the collected flow rate data, failure diagnosis information for diagnosing a failure in a gas appliance. With this configuration, the failure part in the gas appliance can be remotely identified, which accelerates the repair work.

A liquid level detection system of detecting a target container includes a main body, an optical sensor, a fan and an operational processor. The main body has a supporting platform whereon the target container is disposed. The optical sensor is disposed above the supporting platform and adapted to output a detection image containing the target container. The fan is disposed on the main body and faces the supporting platform. The operational processor is electrically connected to the optical sensor, and adapted to analyze the detection image generated within an operation period of the fan and further to acquire an effective feature of the target container inside the detection image.

A device to measure the material level inside the container includes a housing unit removably attachable to a cap of a container for holding a beverage, wherein the housing unit is configured to remain attached to the cap when the cap is at least partially removed from the container. The device further includes, a signal producing unit located in the housing unit, a first sensor located in the housing unit to sense a beverage level in the container and a controller located in the housing unit. The controller is configured to receive from the first sensor an indication of a beverage level in the container and activate the signal producing unit based at least on the indication of the beverage level in the container.

Provided is a method for process monitoring in automation technology based at least on one capacitive and/or conductive measuring probe for determining at least one process variable of at least one medium in a container, an apparatus suitable for executing the method, as well as a computer program and a computer readable medium. The method includes method steps of ascertaining whether the measuring probe is at least partially in contact with the medium and registering as a function of time at least an electrical conductivity of the medium, a dielectric constant of the medium and/or a degree of coverage of the measuring probe by the medium. The method also includes a step of monitoring the process running within the container based on the electrical conductivity, the dielectric constant and/or the degree of coverage as a function of time.

Disclosed is a sensor arrangement on a process installation comprising at least two sensor tiles, wherein each sensor tile comprises a support and a plurality of sensors arranged on the support for determining a physical or chemical variable of a measuring medium, a process characteristic of the measuring medium, and/or a state of the process installation. A first sensor tile comprises a control unit having a transmit and receive module for data exchange with a control unit of a second sensor tile. The first control unit of the first sensor tile and/or a second control unit allocated to the sensor arrangement is designed to weight the values determined by each sensor tile. Weighting may be a function of the measured value variations of the sensor tile, the position of the sensor tile in the process installation, and/or the function of the sensor tile.
