Abstract: In one form a capacitive sensor is disclosed for immersion into a fluid, the capacitive sensor having a housing and first and second electrodes with the first electrode being disposed at least partially within the housing and electrically connected to a circuit, the second electrode being electrically connected to the circuit via an electrical connection and physically separated from the housing containing at least a portion of the first electrode so that at least a portion of the electrical connection or second electrode is located above or outside of the fluid to reduce the risk that minerals will form between the electrodes. In other forms, capacitors, capacitive sensors, pump controls and systems utilizing these features are disclosed along with methods and apparatus relating to same.

Abstract: Disclosed is a resealable bag including a single sheet of bag-forming material folded over on itself and bonded along periphery edges to form a front panel, a back panel and a gusseted bottom panel therebetween. Each of the front and back panels has a lower portion with bonded periphery edges and an upper portion with un-bonded periphery edges. Each of the upper portions of the front and back panel include a handle aperture formed therein. The resealable bag also includes a zipper closure having interlocking male and female parts disposed on respective inside surfaces of top edges of the lower portions of the front and back panels, and an auxiliary molded plastic slider fitment straddling the interlocking male and female parts where the auxiliary molded plastic slider fitment is operable to separate and to couple the male and female interlocking parts as the auxiliary molded plastic slider fitment moves.
