  • Patent number: 11543281
    Abstract: A fluid level sensing system comprises a sensor float assembly, a sensor control module comprising a sensor processor, and a sensor cable. An accelerometer arranged within the float chamber in a fixed orientation relative to a float axis. The accelerometer is capable of determining movement in at least first and second reference axes. The sensor cable is operatively connected between the float processor and the sensor processor. Movement of the float enclosure relative to the reference point is limited. The accelerometer generates and transfers to the float processor first and second sets of data representative of movement along the first and second reference axes. The float processor generates and transfers to the sensor processor pitch data associated with the float enclosure based on the first and second sets of data. The sensor processor generates a status signal and/or a control signal based on the pitch data.

  • Patent number: 6632072
    Abstract: A pneumatic pump control system for sequentially switching on and off an electrically operated pump disposed in a waste water liquid storage tank The pneumatic pump control system comprises a pneumatic pressure accumulator that is disposed within the liquid storage tank at a predetermined level. The pneumatic pressure accumulator is a dome-type that defines an interior air chamber for containing air, and a lower opening disposed at an elevation that represents a zero reference level within the tank. The lower opening is in communication with the liquids in the liquid storage tank when the level of liquid is as high as the lower opening. A pressure transducer is operatively connected to the pneumatic pressure accumulator for communication with the interior air chamber to measure the differential air pressure between the air within the interior air chamber and the upper layer of air within the liquid storage tank.
