    摘要: Provided is a gauge configured to be connected to a pressurized tank. The gauge includes a casing defining an internal cavity, a measuring device disposed in the internal cavity, a power source disposed in the internal cavity, a display at a front surface of the casing powered by the power source, and an attachment member coupled to the measuring device and casing, the attachment member including a body and first and second legs projecting downward from the body, each of the first and second legs having a radially inwardly extending foot for supporting a neck of the pressurized tank, wherein fronts of the legs are circumferentially spaced from one another a greater distance than backs of the legs.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein relate to systems, methods, and devices for remote fuel level detection. A weighing instrument may couple to a propane tank for determining measurement values for a weight of the propane tank, wherein the propane tank is for coupling to a cooking apparatus to provide the fuel to the cooking apparatus. A computing device may receive, via a wireless communication link, measurement values for the weight of the propane tank; correlate the measurement values to data values stored in a database to determine an amount of fuel in the propane tank; and provide the amount of fuel in the propane tank to a user interface. A temperature instrument may determine a temperature of a region proximate to the propane tank to generate a safety factor for the propane tank. A temperature instrument may determine temperatures for regions proximate to the cooking apparatus. A temperature control may control the cooking apparatus. A temperature instrument may determine temperatures for food items cooking on the cooking apparatus, wherein the temperature instrument comprises a plurality of probes, each probe coupled to a food item cooking on the cooking apparatus. Other variations are described.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system and method of remotely sensing the fill level of liquefied gas within containers. There are many gas types which are compressed into liquid form to fit into many sizes of cylinders for many purposes. Principal gas types are nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, hydrogen, helium, and acetylene. More specifically, this invention relates to an apparatus and method of remotely determining the remaining liquefied gas which is present in the cylinder and reporting it through an internet website or messaging system to the business responsible for keeping the cylinder filled. The chief benefit of the system is to eliminate two situations; 1) a replacement tank is dispatched when none is needed, and 2) the user of the tank, i.e. a restaurant, runs out of gas and there is no replacement gas available for some time. Both situations cause customer aggravation or increased costs.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a liquid dispenser includes a liquid reservoir, a load cell supporting at least a partial weight of the liquid reservoir, an electrically actuated valve coupled to a tube outlet exiting from a bottom of the liquid reservoir, and a processor. The processor is electrically connected to the load cell and operatively coupled to and controlling operation of the valve. Further, the processor is configured to determine a valve open time for dispensing a requested amount of liquid. The valve open time depends upon a preliminary time based on the requested amount and an output from the load cell, and an adjustment to the preliminary time based on a difference between a requested amount and a measured amount determined by the load cell for at least one previous dispense.
