  • Patent number: 11280659
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to reflector for non-contact radar-based fill level measurement in containers with floating roofs. The reflector is designed to be mounted on top of the floating roof, wherein the reflector comprises at least a surface, which is formed by an array of cavities. According to the present disclosure, the cavities have a tapered cross-section. By the tapered cavities the radar signals emitted by the fill level measuring device are reflected and focused towards the fill level measuring device, so that the receipt of the reflected radar signal by the fill level measuring device is ensured. Through this, the fill level measuring device can determine the fill level reliably based on the reflected radar signals.

  • Patent number: 10393566
    Abstract: According to at least one aspect of the present disclosure, a centering device includes a body including a first part and a second part connected by a hinge, the hinge structured to enable the first part and the second part to pivot relatively each other about the hinge to form a center channel extending through the body and defining a center axis. The body further includes a clasp, structured to reversibly hold the first part adjacent the second part in an assembled state, and a plurality of members extending radially from the body where, in the assembled state, the center channel and the clasp structured to reversibly attach to a body passing through the center channel.
