摘要： Drive techniques for a digital flowmeter are described. The drive techniques account for delays caused during digital signal processing of sensor signals that correspond to a motion of a flowtube, as well as drive signals that impart motion to the flowtube. Such delays may be caused by a variety of factors, including delays associated with analog/digital conversion of the signals and/or filtering of the signals. The techniques include open-loop techniques and closed-loop techniques, which can be used separately or together during the start-up and operation of the digital flowmeter.

摘要： A monitoring and protection system includes monitoring modules configurable with multiple alarm, alert or response parameters. The configuration parameters may be user set to allow for adaptation of the monitoring modules to specific applications. In one implementation, a vibration monitor receives signals from sensors or transducers and derives vibrational data based upon the received signals. The alarm configuration may include multiple levels or limits for various speed or frequency bands.

摘要： Measuring elements for the output of measured quantities in respect of the flow, namely the flow quantity and direction, the water pressure and the flow noise are integrated in a measurement probe (1) for water supply networks (13), whereby all these measuring elements are connected or can be connected to a data collector (12) by means of transmission by radio, modem or cable connection. The measurement probes are installed permanently at the key points (10) and at the most varied measurement points (11) following one another as closely as possible in the water supply network (13) and can thus contribute, by delivering all the necessary data, to the rapid tracing of leaks with pinpoint accuracy as well as to constant monitoring.

摘要： A system and technique for determining fluid properties includes an ultrasonic transducer 30 on a first surface 42 of a solid member 40. An opposed second surface 44 of the member 40 is in contact with a fluid 25 to be monitored. A longitudinal ultrasonic pulse is delivered through the solid member, and a multiplicity of pulse echoes caused by reflections of the ultrasonic pulse between the solid-fluid interface and the transducer-solid interface are detected and processed by a processing apparatus 22. The apparatus 22 determines the decay rate of the detected echo amplitude as a function of echo number and compares this value to a calibrated decay rate to determine an acoustic property of the fluid. The speed of ultrasound in the fluid is also determined and the fluid density is determined as a function of the speed of ultrasound and the determined acoustic property. When coupled with a shear wave transducer, additional properties corresponding to the fluid viscosity, shear modulus, or shear speed are also determined. Both a fixed in place sensing system and a clamp-on sensing system are disclosed.

摘要： A system for measuring oil condition in large engines includes a bypass valve that is installed in a lubrication system along a fluid line between an oil pan and an engine. The bypass valve communicates with a measurement chamber and when energized by a control module, the bypass valve diverts oil from the lubrication system to the measurement chamber. An oil condition sensor is disposed within the measurement chamber and is used to determine the condition of the oil that is diverted to the chamber. After the condition of the oil is determined, the bypass valve is energized to release the oil from the measurement chamber back into the lubrication system.
