Abstract: A system for monitoring a fill level of a container includes a wireless module disposed on the container including an enclosure, a processor and a wireless transceiver disposed within the enclosure, and a cable mounted to the enclosure. A first pressure sensor is attached to an end of the cable distal from the enclosure and a second pressure sensor is attached to an opposite end within the enclosure. The enclosure is mounted outside of the container. The cable is inserted into the container such that the first pressure sensor is disposed near a bottom of the container. The first pressure sensor measures a pressure at the bottom of the container. The second pressure sensor measures a pressure outside of the container. The readings from the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor are cross-correlated to determine a net pressure for use in calculating the fill level of the container.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a fill level of a container includes a wireless module disposed on the container including an enclosure, a processor and a wireless transceiver disposed within the enclosure, and a cable mounted to the enclosure. A solar panel is integrated into a surface of the enclosure and is configured to provide power to the processor. A first pressure sensor is attached to an end of the cable distal from the enclosure and a second pressure sensor is attached to an opposite end within the enclosure. The enclosure is mounted outside of the container. The cable is inserted into the container such that the first pressure sensor is disposed near a bottom of the container. The first pressure sensor measures a pressure at the bottom of the container. The second pressure sensor measures a pressure outside of the container.

Abstract: A method and system are described for detecting a fluid level within a fluid vessel by disposing a wireless fluid sensor module in the fluid vessel, measuring at least one characteristic of a fluid in the fluid vessel, and wirelessly transmitting the measured at least one characteristic to a receiver disposed external to the fluid vessel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for directing data representing well operations (drilling and producing) through the Internet or similar wide area network. The instant invention comprises a system and method of installing sensors at the well to provide technical information to remotely-located Internet users who provide services to the well owner. The service providers may be observers, who may then advise the well owners and operators as to actions to take to increase or optimize well performance. Service providers may also be data storage companies, who clean and store the data from the well. Service providers may then be paid from a portion of the well revenues or a portion of the incrementally-increased revenues.
