Abstract: The invention described herein, is a design that allows the amount of any liquid which is to be filtered, to be monitored while submerged yet remain contactless to the liquid in its measurement to indicate how much liquid has passed through the filter inside the jug/container or cartridge. It can indicate when a filter used in the container/jug holding the liquid has expired or can indicate how much liquid has been through the filter so the user can decide when it requires replacing. The status indication is displayed by using a motion sensor to give a user interaction display based on movement rather than direct contact of user. Currently all water utilize external indicators located on the jugs to monitor the usage of the filter.

Abstract: The invention is for a waterproof Inhaler Usage Indicator with or without a replaceable battery (6), to provide a count of the amount of drug remaining inside the canister (4) with the counter (1) still attached to the canister (4). It is not limited to inhalers alone, but any type of canister (4) that dispenses through a nozzle (24) when placed inside an housing (2) in order to count the number of displacements between the canister (4) and housing (2). The status of the drug can be checked at any time by a quick movement of the inhaler in any axis to allow the motion sensor (40, 41) to initiate the display of the amount of remaining drug uses. The counter assembly (1) is attached to the top of the canister (4) and uses the displacement between the canister (4) and housing (2) to count the number of uses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a counting device (100) capable of recording the number of doses dispensed from dispensers such as inhalers. The counting device is mounted on a portion of an inhaler canister (200) protruding from a housing (300), at an end opposite a delivery portion of the canister. The inhaler canister is mounted in the housing to form the dispenser. The counting device includes a switch (3) actuatable by interaction with the housing during relative movement between the canister and the housing. A display means (7) is provided for displaying information related to the number of doses delivered by the dispenser.
