TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus for measuring the height of liquid contained in a storage tank is disclosed, and a float is disposed inside the tube and is buoyed on the surface of the liquid.

TL;DR: A contamination monitor for sensing particle contamination in a liquid system having a filter includes a sensor for measuring the pressure differential across the filter, a reference apparatus for providing information relative to at least one of the viscosity changes and the flow changes of the liquid passing through the filter by providing one or more reference signals relating thereto, and a programmable data processing and interface unit for receiving data from the sensor and the reference apparatus and providing a recognizable compensated output corresponding to the contamination level as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A power and data delivery system for a machine is defined in this article, where the system includes a power conductor located throughout at least a portion of the machine, a plurality of processing nodes, each connected to the conductor at various locations, and a number of devices connected to a corresponding one of the processing nodes and controlled by the processing node.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-guided vehicle employs a highly accurate velocity sensor (12) to determine vehicle speed and position, and a second less expensive and less accurate speed sensor (66) also receives the modulated sine and cosine signals from the resolver (14) and produces a series of pulses representative of vehicle speed.

TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for detecting particles within a fluid is disclosed, in which a bobbin defines a debris collection chamber, and a reference coil is wound about the bobbin to compensate for the changing temperature of the fluid.
