  • Patent number: 11085806
    Abstract: A level sensing apparatus (110) for attachment to a sounding tube to measure levels of content in a tank. The level sensing apparatus includes a housing (16) for enclosing components of the level sensing apparatus (20). These components include a transmitter and an antenna (18) operatively connected to the transmitter for directing electrical or mechanical waves in a direction away from the transmitter. The antenna is adapted to also receive electrical and mechanical waves. The apparatus further includes a sounding tube adaptor (32) sized for attachment to a sounding tube, and a connector assembly operatively attaching the housing to the sounding tube adaptor. The connector assembly enabling the housing to rotate relative to the sounding tube adaptor about a horizontal axis to expose an open end of the sounding tube. In use, the level sensing apparatus allows for pulse radar measurement of liquid levels in the tank.

  • Publication number: 20170067531
    Abstract: A mechanically isolating mounting for use with a level sensing gauge (12) comprises damping material (22a, 22b) positioned exterior to the metal primary housing and between a primary housing of the gauge and a gauge mounting (13, 20, 20a), such that the damping material isolates the gauge mechanically from vibration and shock delivered through the gauge mounting. The gauge housing may comprise a mounting plate (13) or a metal enclosure (20, 20a) surrounding the primary housing and forming an outer housing.

  • Patent number: 8205286
    Abstract: A pillow for female breasts, comprising a pillow comprising a first lateral wall, and top and bottom walls. The top wall has first and second openings. The first and second openings receive each breast of a woman when lying thereon. A protective cover comprises a first upper portion, a bottom portion, and a second lateral wall. The first upper portion has first and second interior sidewalls that align with and fit within the first and second openings respectively. An outer cover comprises a second upper portion and a third lateral wall. The second upper portion has first and second pocket members that align with and fit within the first and second interior sidewalls that in turn align with and fit within the first and second openings respectively. The protective cover is dressed on the pillow, and the outer cover is dressed on the protective cover and the pillow.
