  • TDR fluid level sensor
    Patent number: 9453755
    Abstract: A system and method for accurately measuring fluid level in a vessel is provided. Generally, the system contains an elongated portion being a coaxial tube having a hollow center, an arm being coaxial in shape, and a sensor containing a transmitter capable of creating and transmitting an excitation electromagnetic pulse for traversing the elongated portion and the arm, and a receiver for receiving reflected pulses, wherein a proximate end of the elongated portion joins a distal end of the arm in a manner to create a waveguide for an electromagnetic pulse provided by the sensor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 1, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2016
    Assignee: Meggitt (Orange County), Inc.
    Inventors: Ronie Lavon, Carlos Eduardo Carvalho, Thomas Miskell, Vincent Rizzo, Kevin John Petriel
