Abstract: Embodiments of a drain monitor of this disclosure monitors an active, horizontal- or vertical-oriented hose, pipe, or drain and allows a draining liquid to pass through or by the monitor without “alarming” if there is no blockage or stoppage of the drain and alarming if there is a blockage or stoppage of the drain. The monitor may include a housing having an open bottom end, a hollow interior, and a plurality of inclined thru ports providing fluid passage to the interior but preventing a draining liquid flowing past the probe from entering the hollow interior. In some embodiments, the monitor may work in reverse, meaning if the pipe or hose is supposed to have a certain level of liquid, the monitor alarms if the liquid falls below that level. A second monitor may be installed in series with the first, alarming if the liquid rises above a predetermined level.
Abstract: A safety system can include a self-driving vehicle, a temperature detection system attached to the self-driving vehicle, and a vehicle management system configured to autonomously drive the self-driving vehicle. The self-driving vehicle can include cameras, lidar, and radar to detect objects on the road. The vehicle management system can be configured to respond to the temperature detection system detecting elevated temperatures.
