Patent number: 10161779Abstract: A sensor for determining liquid level in a liquid reservoir can include a primary inductor and a secondary inductor to be associated with sides of the reservoir that changes shape as a volume of liquid changes or is displaced within the liquid reservoir. The sensor can include an electrical power source to inductively couple the primary inductor and the secondary inductor. The liquid level sensor can include an inductive coupling measurement device associated with the primary inductor and/or the secondary inductor to measure a characteristic indicative of the inductive coupling of the primary inductor and the secondary inductor (e.g., a distance between inductors). As liquid volume changes and the reservoir deforms, the inductors move relative to each other and a voltage change occurs to determine a liquid level in the reservoir. A sensor kit is provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: University of Utah Research FoundationInventors: Gianluca Lazzi, Dulce Altabella Lazzi, Anil Kumar Ram Rakhyani, Kyle Loizos
