Abstract: Disclosed herein are various techniques and devices for detecting a level of fluid within a fluid collection receptacle. These techniques and devices may further determine a flow rate of fluid entering the fluid collection receptacle or a volume of fluid collected within the fluid collection receptacle. Sensors, including pressure sensors, may be installed in, on, or within the fluid collection receptacle to detect information about the liquid within the receptacle including fluid level, flow rate, and volume.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various techniques and devices for detecting a level of fluid within a fluid collection receptacle. In one embodiment, a pressure sensor connected to a bottle is provided. The pressure sensor detects air pressure in the bottle as the bottle is filled with a liquid and provides information to determine a volume of the liquid in the bottle.

Abstract: A breast pump milk flow sensor system and apparatus for accurately assessing both a flow rate and amount of milk expressed during a pumping session is provided. The breast pump milk flow rate sensor system and apparatus may be contained within a breast pump.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a breast pump sensor network. The breast pump sensor network includes an emitter disposed within a bodily fluid capture system and a detector disposed within the bodily fluid capture system. Further disclosed is a method for controlling the breast pump sensor network which includes emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation within a bodily fluid capture system, detecting one or more drops of body fluid within the bodily fluid capture system, determining a bodily fluid flow rate based at least on the detected one or more drops of bodily fluid, and providing the determined bodily fluid flow rate to at least one user.

Abstract: A breast pump suction pump is provided. The breast pump suction pump may include one or more sensors. The breast pump suction pump may further include a processor. The one or more sensors may provide sensor data to the processor and, in response, the processor may automatically adjust a pump parameter of the breast pump suction pump.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a breast pump valve system. The breast pump valve system includes a valve and a milk collection apparatus. The valve includes one or more retaining ribs which are disposed around the circumference of the valve. The one or more retaining ribs are interrupted only by a vent channel. The valve further includes a vent, connected to the vent channel. The vent channel allows air in the milk collection apparatus to escape through the vent in the valve. The milk collection apparatus includes a chamfered collar to receive the valve. The milk collection apparatus further includes a connector disposed on an external surface of the chamfered collar.
