Abstract: A device for monitoring an electrical submersible pump having a motor includes an integrated temperature sensor and electrical feedthrough assembly having a probe body housing the temperature sensor, the electrical feedthrough assembly, and a high voltage insulator; an electronics assembly operably connected to the integrated temperature sensor and the electrical feedthrough assembly; and a pressure assembly operably connected to the electronics assembly.

Abstract: A pump monitoring system is provided, the pump including a rotor, and stator, the system including a magnetic field sensor to measure a magnetic field generated by a magnet positioned on a rod above the rotor; and a computer system configured to use the magnetic field to determine the rotor position. The magnetic field generated by the magnet can be used to determine characteristics of the pump including slipping and sticking, twist and twist differential, togging and wobble.

Abstract: A refuse receptacle has an outer container with a lid closing an insertion opening in the upper region. A foot pedal is attached to the refuse receptacle and the actuation of which enables the lid of the refuse receptacle to be moved into an opening position. The foot pedal is of annular design and encircles the outer container and being arranged in the lower region thereof. The foot pedal is designed in a manner such that it can be depressed in a linear movement in order to open the lid, and an outer housing, which is connected to the foot pedal, or a casing of the refuse receptacle being able to be depressed together with the foot pedal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refuse receptacle having an outer container with a lid closing an insertion opening in the upper region, including a foot pedal which is attached to the refuse receptacle and the actuation of which enables the lid of the refuse receptacle to be moved into an opening position, the foot pedal being of annular design and running at a distance around the outer container and being arranged in the lower region thereof, the foot pedal being designed in a manner such that it can be depressed in a linear movement in order to open the lid, and an outer housing, which is connected to the foot pedal, or a casing of the refuse receptacle being able to be depressed together with the foot pedal.

Abstract: By providing a single biasing element (spring) connected through pull rods to toggle means in laterally-inverted relationship, there are overcome the problems of (1) inequality of forces on the latching beams and (2) the need for relatively massive springs. The toggle means provide a force-multiplying effect. Moreover, no special actuating element is required for latching or unlatching.
