  • Patent number: 5065902
    Abstract: A material dispensing monitor including an encoder and sensor adjustably mounted to a securement and a pump as a function of specific gravity to produce a series of pulses per cycle of the pump as a function of specific gravity and capacity of the pump so that the pulses provide a direct measure of weight. An all pneumatic system monitors and displays the weight of material dispensed and can provide annunciation when a predetermined weight of material has been dispensed.

  • Patent number: 5054653
    Abstract: A system including a nonelectrical sensor for sensing the position of a needle of a gauge as it moves along a path and providing the sensed nonelectrical signal to a nonelectrical annunciator for annunciating when the needle is not at a predetermined position. The sensor is adjustably mounted with respect to the path of the needle by mounting the sensor to an adjustable transparent face plate of the gauge. A range portion is provided on a standard needle. A nonelectrical flush alarm includes a sensor to sense that the pump of a spraying or dispensing system is operating. If this sensor does not provide a signal to a timer for a preset period, the timer will produce a timed out signal which will be annunciated by an annunciator. .
