  • Publication number: 20260071946
    Abstract: A method of determining a viscosity of a fluid is provided. The method comprises receiving one or more sensor signals from a sensor assembly containing a fluid to determine a fluid property of the fluid, determining, based on the one or more sensor signals, an energy dissipation value of the sensor assembly containing the fluid, and determining a viscosity value of the fluid based on the energy dissipation value.

  • Publication number: 20260051428
    Abstract: A first terminal connector (300) comprises a component member (302) comprising a component member surface (322) with a first terminal post (306) oriented substantially perpendicular to the component member surface (322), and a cap member (304) comprising a cap member surface (324) and a first borehole (310) oriented substantially perpendicular from the cap member surface (324), the first borehole (310) including a bevel volume (328) configured to compress a plurality of windings from one or more wires (332, 334a, 334b) wound around the first terminal post (306) together between the component member surface (322) and the bevel volume (328) when the first terminal post (306) is inserted into the first borehole (310).

  • Publication number: 20260049855
    Abstract: A Coriolis flowmeter (5) is provided, the Coriolis flowmeter (5) comprising flow conduits (103A, 103B), having a driver (104), and pick-off sensors (105, 105?) connected thereto. A meter electronics (20) is configured to drive the driver (104) to oscillate the flow conduits (103A, 103B) in a first bending mode, and to receive signals from the pick-off sensors (105, 105?). The meter electronics (20) is configured to indicate a presence of an external magnetic field.

The meter electronics (20) is configured to capture voltages for both the pick-off sensors (105, 105?) and determine a PORATIO and determine whether the PORATIO falls within a predetermined POLIMIT. The presence of an external magnetic field is indicated if the PORATIO falls outside the predetermined POLIMIT.
