  • Publication number: 20220410060
    Abstract: A breather is disclosed. The breather may have a breather housing, a desiccant material, and a moisture indicator. The breather housing may be configured to receive at least an air flow containing moisture. The desiccant material may be contained within the breather housing, and the desiccant material may be enclosed by a breather wall. The moisture indicator may be located within the breather housing, and the moisture indicator may be positioned between the desiccant material and an internal side of the breather wall. The moisture indicator may provide a visible representation of an amount of moisture adsorbed by the desiccant breather. The visible representation of the moisture indicator may be visually observable through the breather wall. The desiccant material may be configured to adsorb up to about forty percent (40%) of the desiccant material's weight in moisture.

  • Publication number: 20210262849
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for a system for a smart liquid information indicator. A liquid reservoir may include a level indicator extending outwardly from the liquid reservoir. An inspection device for inspecting a liquid in a level indicator may be coupled to the level indicator. The inspection device may include a housing and a coupler coupling the housing to the level indicator of the liquid reservoir. At least a portion of the level indicator is received within an interior space of the housing when the housing is coupled to the level indicator. An imaging section may obtain at least one set of inspection data relating to the at least a portion of the level indicator. A communication section may transmit a representation of the at least one set of inspection data from the inspection device.
