摘要: A sensor device includes an interrogation signal transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal to determine an identifier associated with an amount of content included in a container engaged by the sensor device. The interrogation signal transmitter is configured to transmit the interrogation signal that travels through air included in the container to reflect off the content in the container.

摘要: A content fill level is measured. An interrogation signal is transmitted. A reflected signal having a plurality of peaks is received. One of the peaks corresponds to a signal reflection of the interrogation signal indicative of the content fill level. The plurality of peaks is digitally analyzed to distinguish which peak is indicative of the content fill level.

摘要: Quantity analysis is disclosed. A quantity identification of an amount of content included in a container is received from a container cover of the container. The quantity identification is analyzed along with a history of past quantity identifications received from the container cover over time to determine an analysis result. An action associated with the content of the container is performed based on the analysis result.

摘要: A measurement device includes a transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal. The measurement device also includes a receiver configured to receive the interrogation signal that has been reflected within a container. The received reflected interrogation signal corresponds to a fill level of the container. A protective barrier covers at least the transmitter or the receiver. If the protective barrier covers the transmitter, the transmitter transmits the interrogation signal through the protective barrier and the transmitter and the protective barrier are separated by a gap.

摘要: A device includes a coupling component configured to be coupled to a moveable component of a content dispensing mechanism. The device includes a sensor configured to detect movement of the content dispensing mechanism. The device includes a processor configured to, based at least in part on the detected movement of the content dispensing mechanism, determine one or more values corresponding to an amount of content dispensed by the content dispensing mechanism. The device includes a wireless signal transmitter configured to report the one or more values corresponding to the amount of content dispensed by the content dispensing mechanism.

摘要: A measurement device includes a sensor configured to detect triggering of the device. The measurement device further includes a transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal in response to the triggering of the device, and a receiver configured to detect a received signal that captures one or more reflections of the interrogation signal. A processor of the measurement device is configured to select a selected reflection among a plurality of identified potential reflections captured in the received signal, and provide an identifier corresponding to the selected reflection that is associated with an amount of content included in a container engaged by the content measurement device.

摘要: A sensor device includes a communication transmitter configured to transmit a sensor device identifier. The sensor device includes a communication receiver configured to receive a sensor configuration associated with the sensor device identifier. The sensor device includes an interrogation signal transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal based at least in part on the received sensor configuration to determine an identifier associated with an amount of content included in a container engaged by the sensor device.

摘要: A sensor device includes a transmitter located in a container cover that is configured to engage an opening of a container. The sensor device includes a propagation chamber with a first opening configured to receive a signal emitted by the transmitter and guide the signal out of the propagation chamber via a second opening. Cross-sections of the propagation chamber vary along at least a portion of a length of the propagation chamber and the propagation chamber includes one or more transitions where a rate of change of a property of the propagation chamber changes. The sensor device includes a signal processor included in the container cover and configured to use data associated with a reflection of the emitted signal to determine an identifier of a content fill level of the container.
