  • Publication number: 20050013699
    Abstract: A method for forming an impeller for a pump provides a reliable protective barrier that prevents or eliminates the ingress of pumped fluid that might otherwise attack the magnetic assembly of the impeller. An inner barrier is hermetically connected to an internal impeller section at one or more seams to cover at least part of a first magnetic assembly. Filler is introduced into a spatial volume of the first magnet assembly associated with the internal impeller section. The remainder of an impeller is molded over or in association with the internal impeller section to form the impeller with the inner barrier and an outer barrier overlying the inner barrier for protection of the first magnet assembly from the pumped fluid.

  • Patent number: 6250152
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement determines a condition and level of a liquid in a container. A first sensor has first electrodes forming a first measuring chamber communicating with the liquid and supplies a signal for determining an impedance of the first sensor and a condition of the liquid in the container. A second sensor has second electrodes forming a second measuring chamber communicating with the liquid via the first measuring chamber and supplies a signal for determining an impedance of the second sensor and a level of the liquid in the container. Electronic devices are coupled to the first and second sensors, and determine the impedance of the first and second sensors and the condition and level of the liquid in the container.
