摘要： A system for monitoring fuel consumption and optimizing refueling of a vehicle. The system includes a fuel level sensor designed to be mounted on a fuel tank. The fuel sensor has a transducer, such as an ultrasonic transducer, for generating a distance signal that represents the distance between the sensor and the surface of the fuel in the fuel tank. A processor coupled to the transducer is programmed to convert the distance signal to a percentage of capacity signal, calculate the volume of fuel within the fuel tank, and create a message that includes information regarding the volume of fuel in the fuel tank. The processor of the fuel level sensor is coupled to a network that may include a dispatch terminal, a fuel optimization server, and a fuel-price-by-location service. The network calculates an optimal location for refilling the fuel tank and a route to travel to the location. It broadcasts a message containing the refueling and route information to the vehicle information system, and devices coupled to the vehicle information system then display the message to inform the driver of the vehicle when and where to refuel.

摘要： A dynamic range sensor that measures the distance to a target or amount of material in a container. The sensor has a transducer and a controller that is coupled to the transducer. The controller generates a first command signal for the transducer, detects a first echo signal from the transducer, and determines whether the first echo signal was received by the transducer within a near-field time. If the first echo signal was received within the near-field time, the controller detects a second echo signal of a predetermined magnitude. If a second echo signal is not detected within a predetermined amount of time, the controller ignores the first echo signal and generates a second command signal different than the first command signal. The controller modifies the second command signal until a second echo signal is detected. The controller converts either the first echo signal or the difference between the first echo signal and the second echo signal to a distance measurement or volumetric representation of the amount of material in the container. Preferably, the transducer is driven at resonance with a series of pulses such that the frequency of the pulses matches the transducer's temperature-dependent frequency characteristics.

摘要翻译： 一种动态范围传感器，用于测量与目标物体的距离或容器中物料的量。 传感器具有耦合到换能器的换能器和控制器。 控制器产生用于换能器的第一命令信号，检测来自换能器的第一回波信号，并确定在近场时间内换能器是否接收到第一回波信号。 如果在近场时间内接收到第一回波信号，则控制器检测到预定幅度的第二回波信号。 如果在预定时间内没有检测到第二回波信号，则控制器忽略第一回波信号并产生与第一命令信号不同的第二命令信号。 控制器修改第二命令信号，直到检测到第二回波信号。 控制器将第一回波信号或第一回波信号和第二回波信号之间的差值转换成容器中材料量的距离测量或体积表示。 优选地，换能器以一系列脉冲在谐振下驱动，使得脉冲的频率与换能器的温度相关的频率特性相匹配。

摘要： A fuel tank assembly contains a supply of volatile fuel in a collapsible container having a highly compliant wall movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration so as to follow and conform closely to the supply of volatile fuel within the container as the fuel is withdrawn from and replenished in the supply, the wall having a composite construction including a fluid filler material contained within a highly flexible envelope such that the composite construction of the wall enables expansion of the container toward the expanded configuration in response to the replenishment of fuel in the container to conform to and contain the supply of volatile fuel, and enables collapse of the container in response to the withdrawal of fuel from the container, toward the collapsed configuration, with the wall continuously and closely conforming to the supply of fuel within the container as fuel is withdrawn from and replenished within the container, thereby deterring the formation of fuel vapor within the fuel tank assembly.

摘要： A vehicle fuel tank is made from a plastic molding process in which various models of the tank are required with differently oriented fuel filler necks. One of the mold halves for the tank is provided with a mold insert over that portion of the mold half which forms the fuel filler neck. Different mold inserts are provided each one of which provides a differently oriented version of the fuel filler neck. Different models of the tank are molded with different mold inserts in place such that each tank has an integrally molded fuel filler neck oriented in the proper manner. In addition, a through pocket is integrally molded into the tank between the sides of the tank to form a transverse baffle for preventing fuel from sloshing from one side of the tank to the other.
