Abstract: A system for processing delivery items, the system including a delivery item monitoring device comprising one or more sensor and a processor that is communicatively connected to the delivery item monitoring device and that is configured to perform operations comprising obtaining sensor data from the one or more sensor. The operations can also include calculating a depth of the received delivery items in the container based on the sensor data and generating an under-filled indicator, a transport indicator, or an over-filled indicator based on the depth of the received delivery items in the container. Furthermore, the operations can include transmitting the under-filled indicator, the transport indicator, or the over-filled indicator to a control system, wherein the under-filled indicator, the transport indicator, and the over-filled indicator designate how to process the container to the control system.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system providing for calibration and/or control of a liquid dispensing system is disclosed. The hand-held calibration auditing tool includes a flow meter (36-37) with inlets adapted for quick connection to one or more liquid inputs and/or liquid outputs of a liquid dispensing system (10). A sensor (94-95) having a data output of liquid flow information for a liquid input to the dispensing system (10) is operably connected to a controller (12) to receive the liquid flow information for the liquid input. The controller (12) provides a dilution rate and other liquid flow information for a liquid product input to a dispenser. The tool may include any number of flow meters, and may also include a flow meter connected to an outlet of a dispenser (22) for providing flow information.

Abstract: A dispensing device and a method for dispensing liquids, in particular liquid medicaments, to persons, has a liquid-filled container an opening for dispensing the liquid at one end. A holder for holding an injection needle for injection of the liquid from the container are provided in the area of the opening. A measurement system determines a measured value, and a processing unit determines a parameter value, associated with the container, based on the measured value. At least one detection element is present at the opening and connected to a needle detection circuit. The needle detection circuit measures an electrical characteristic variable that can be picked up at the output of the detection element. The measurement result is fed to a processing unit, which calculates the parameter value and keeps it available at its output.

Abstract: A system for controlling pressure associated with a volume may comprising a pump and piston/cylinder assembly, both in fluid communication with a volume of a closed fluid system. In addition, the system may comprise an actuator operatively connected to the actuator and pump to control fluid flow and pressurization or depressurization of the volume and/or fluid flow system. The pump is activated to generate a first pressure level of the closed fluid system and when this first pressure level is reached the actuator is activated to drive the piston/cylinder assembly to reach a pressure set point from the first pressure level. The system may be used as a calibrator or a pressure controller for pressure differentials, gauge pressure or absolute pressure.
