摘要： Fluid level sensing apparatus for detecting the fluid level in a container. The apparatus comprises a housing adapted to be disposed in the container; a float with an associated magnetic element, where the position of the float in the container corresponds to the fluid level in the container. A magnetostrictive sensor (12) and a stick gauge are also disposed inside the housing. The sensor (12) is coupled to a control circuit (40) which includes a circuit (44) that receives electromagnetic energy (32) from a remote unit (34). In addition, the control circuit (40) includes a circuit for detecting a signal from the sensor (50) and a circuit (54) for emitting electromagnetic energy (36) having a characteristic that is variable and dependent on the fluid level in the container to a remote location (34). The information received at the remote locat ion (34) may be displayed on a screen (38) or at another suitable operator interface (64).

摘要： An optical fluid sensor 20 with a light emitter 2, a photodetector 11 and a sensing tip element 15 which is optically connected by first optical fiber means (4) to the light emitter 2 and by second otpical fiber means (9) to the photodetector 11 is disclosed, said sensing tip element 15 being provided with a coating 14 of a material impermeable by the fluid to be sensed and resistant to the formation of fluid film or droplets thereon thereby reducing undesirable effects or false readings. By constantly monitoring low-level light returned to the photodetector 11 under all operating conditions, the optical fluid sensor of the invention provides a fault finding system.

摘要： Measuring the filling level by means of devices known in prior art which make use of the total reflection of light on reflecting surfaces of fiber optic bodies immersed in the fluid can be distorted by drops or splashes attached to reflecting surfaces that are not immersed. Disclosed are a method and a device according to which the light reflected by each reflecting surface is measured separately. The measuring signals for determining the filling level are preferably subjected to a plausibility check so as to detect and eliminate measuring distortions and errors. The inventive method and device can be used to determine the filling level of fluid-filled containers, particularly receptacles containing fuel, wash water, oil, a hydraulic fluid, etc. in motor vehicles.
