  • Detecting fluid characteristics via a float
    Patent number: 10955280
    Abstract: A system for detecting a characteristic of a fluid. In one example, the system includes a tube, a float, a sensor, and a controller. The tube is configured to receive the fluid. The float is located within the tube. The sensor is configured to sense a position of the float. The controller is configured to receive, from the sensor, the position of the float, and determine a characteristic of the fluid based on the position of the float. The characteristic may be a density or a concentration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 23, 2021
    Assignee: Bourns, Inc.
    Inventors: Jay Jamshid Khazaai, James Gregory Stanley, Don Blandino, Kenneth R. Turner, Eoin Paul O'Regan
  • Detecting fluid level via a float
    Patent number: 10788355
    Abstract: A fluid sensor including a guide, a float, a permanent magnet, and a magnetic angle sensor. In one example, the float is constrained at least in part by the guide to move along a vertical axis. The permanent magnet is mechanically coupled to the float. The magnetic angle sensor is configured to measure an angle of a magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet and is positioned such that movement of the float along the vertical axis varies the angle of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet through the magnetic angle sensor.
