摘要： A fluid level sensing apparatus is disclosed having an electrode assembly, signal generating circuit, and signal processing circuit. The electrode assembly includes a first electrode disposed along an outer surface of the electrode assembly and a second electrode disposed along the outer surface of the electrode assembly, the second electrode separate from the first electrode. The signal generating circuit is configured to output a repeating pulse signal to the first electrode. The signal processing circuit is electrically coupled to the second electrode and configured to receive the signal conducted through the fluid from the first electrode to the second electrode when the electrode assembly is at least partially submersed in the fluid. The signal processing circuit is configured to output a voltage corresponding to a length of the electrode assembly that is submersed in the fluid based at least in part on the signal received by the signal processing circuit.

摘要： A watercraft is provided that includes a support platform having a bottom surface. The watercraft includes a hydrofoil disposed on a strut extending from the bottom surface of the support platform. The watercraft includes a propulsion system coupled to the bottom surface of the board such that a thrust generated by the propulsion system moves the board through a body of water. The watercraft includes a position sensor, a speed sensor, and an altitude controller. The position sensor is configured to output position data of the watercraft relative to a surface of water. The speed sensor is configured to output speed data of the watercraft. The altitude controller is configured to adjust the thrust generated by the propulsion system based at least in part on a ride height derived from the position data and a speed derived from the speed data to achieve a target ride height.
