Abstract: A sensing assembly configured to monitor material flow in a conduit, the sensing assembly comprising an adjustment mechanism; a housing; and an ultrasonic sensor assembly, wherein the ultrasonic sensor assembly is at least partially positioned within the housing and comprises an ultrasonic sensor, the ultrasonic sensor is configured to couple a conduit, and the adjustment mechanism is configured to allow for coupling of the ultrasonic sensor to conduits having a variety of diameters. An adjustment mechanism may be configured to allow for fine adjustment of sensor-to-conduit coupling.

Abstract: A shipping box system and method are provided in which a shipping box has a container having a bottom surface and a plurality of walls, the container walls forming a perimeter about a container cavity. The shipping box further has a lid having a top surface and walls, the lid walls forming a perimeter about a lid cavity. The box further provides a sensor module for determining a physical location and orientation of the container, a computations module for evaluating data retrieved from the sensor module, and a locking assembly for locking the container and the lid in a closed configuration. The container and the lid are sized to nest, such that when the lid is fixed to the container, the container cavity and the lid cavity occupy substantially the same space and the container walls and the lid walls overlap.
