Abstract: A self-charging sensor (SCS) adapted for use in a toilet or the like. The SCS includes a housing having a rechargeable battery; a turbine module having a multilevel impeller having offset wheels that are adapted to be driven by a fluid flow via an inlet port during an event, wherein a rotation of the impeller causes the turbine module to generate electricity that recharges the rechargeable battery; and a processing module that collects count data associated with the rotation during the event; and an attachment component adapted to seat the housing on an overflow tube.

Abstract: A device configured to perform a task. The device includes an optical sensor configured to obtain light sequences from a camera flashlight (or other source) and convert the light sequences to electronic signals; a processor configured to receive the electronic signals from the optical sensor, detect electronic signals indicative of a predefined light sequence, and output control signals in response to detection of a predefined light sequence; and a controllable feature that is activated in response to the control signals from the processor.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting and analyzing fluid flow. The system includes a turbine that rotates in response to a fluid flow; a sensor that senses positional information of the turbine; a flow detector coupled to the sensor that: periodically captures and stores a value indicative of a position of the turbine; compares the value with a previously collected value; and detects flow if the value and previously collected value differ; and a flow analysis system coupled to the sensor that activates in response to a detected flow, wherein the flow analysis system collects and analyzes sensor data from the sensor.

Abstract: A universal fluid flow sensor system and method installable in a toilet tank. A system is disclosed that includes a two-part water flow monitoring device, which include a dry module that contains a power source, communications and an event processing system; and a wet module releasably coupled to the dry module that receives an inflow of water and includes a turbine with magnets that generates a magnetic field when spun. The magnetic field is captured by the dry module to determine flow rate data.
