    摘要: A flow-through visible-light turbidity sensor is constructed from a molded plastic flow tube with an overmolded opaque housing to shield the optical sensing apparatus from ambient light. The housing also secures and covers all electronics for the sensor. The molded parts provide lower cost and less dimensional variation for the sensor as well as the ability to locate conductivity or other physical probe sensor types within the package.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for magnetically detecting a temperature change for thermostat control thereof are disclosed. A thermostat control device can be configured to include at least one bi-metallic strip that is configured to experience a change in angular position in response to a temperature change. The thermostat control device is generally associated with a Hall sensor, which includes a plurality of magnets that can experience movement relative to the Hall sensor in response to the change in the angular position of the bi-metallic strip. The temperature change can then be automatically and/or electrically detected in response to the movement of the magnets, wherein the temperature change is utilized for thermostat control thereof.

    摘要: A turbidity sensor apparatus and method for measuring very low concentrations of particles in a fluid. The turbidity sensor comprises a laser light source for emitting laser light through a fluid. Such a fluid may be hydraulic fluid, oil, water utilized in water purification systems, or other translucent fluids. The turbidity sensor includes a first light-sensitive detector located 90 degrees to incident laser light emitted from the laser light source, and a second light-sensitive detector located at an angle obtuse to the incident laser light emitted from the laser light source, wherein the first and second light-sensitive detectors respectively measure side scattered light and forward scattered light reflected from particles contained within the fluid that come into contact with laser light emitted from the laser light source, thereby providing an accurate and reliable measurement of very low concentrations of particles within the fluid. The turbidity sensor also includes a component for capturing incident laser light entirely emitted from the laser light source, thereby preventing reflection of the laser light back into the fluid. The laser light source may be a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) or other light emitting light source.
