The substance can be any substance, including fluids, for example hot water, or solids, for example grain or beans. The device includes sensors, for example an ultrasonic, an infrared, a piezo, or a pressure sensor to detect the changing level values with respect to a predetermined threshold level value. The sensor can scan the container to determine and preset a fill level, from the top of the container. The device can also include a pressure sensor, sensing when a substance is being added or removed from a container. The sensor can also be a piezo sensor. Using a one or more sensors, such device does not need to come into a physical contact with the substance being filled or emptied.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Inventors: Nir Pechuk, Ron Pechuk, Maxwell A.

Publication number: 20110068070Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a wire container comprising a plurality of spring-like wires having wave patterns forming a part support that minimize contact points between the container and one or more contained parts when the container is subjected to a vibration causing the wires and the parts to move, thereby eliminating any fixed contact points between the part and the supporting part support. Another aspect of the current invention is a process for removing penetrant from parts comprising: placing one or more parts with penetrant applied in a container having spring-like wire with wave patterns forming a part support; oscillating the container during a cleaning process thereby compressing and expanding one or more spring-like wires thus exposing part surfaces and removing the penetrant from the parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: Randall Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Fred Randall, Robert G. Peterson, Al Raven
