  • Patent number: 8776596
    Abstract: A floating storage tank roof having a roof cover level monitor apparatus uses a flexible rod having a first end in contact with the storage tank cover bottom surface and a second end in contact with a base mounted to the top of the storage tank roof. As the rod flexes the second end of the rod is pushed into a slot within the base and against a resilient member within the slot. Within the slot are disposed proximity switches. As the rod second end sinks into the slot the proximity switches are actuated by mechanical or magnetic means. The spacing of the switches within the slot is calibrated to represent the level of the storage tank roof. A force transducer may also be used in lieu of the switches.

  • Patent number: 5961598
    Abstract: A system for Internet gateway performance charting includes an internal network (10) having one or more servers interconnecting a plurality of computing devices (12). The system also includes an Internet gateway (16) coupled to the internal network (10) and to the public Internet (14). The Internet gateway (16) provides connectivity between the internal network (10) and the public Internet (14). The Internet gateway (16) also executes an application that gathers statistics on the performance of the Internet gateway (16) and prepares a file (19) storing statistics information. The system includes a designated server (18) of the internal network (10) that executes an application that periodically receives the file (19) from the Internet gateway (16), processes the file (19), recovers the statistics information, and populates a database (21) with statistics data.
