    Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for monitoring the levels of propane or other consumable liquid in remotely located storage tanks and coordinating delivery of liquid to those tanks, including an improved method of using the remote monitoring data to identify out-of-ordinary conditions at remote tanks, optimally schedule purchases or deliveries, improve safety, and more efficiently operate a propane dealership. More accurate and timely information concerning the status of customer tanks serves to improve operational efficiencies and increase safety. Data received from remote sensors can be collected and organized so that it is easily understood and utilized through the implementation of a user interface accessible via the Internet that allows the information to be presented in an efficient graphical and contextual fashion. Operational efficiencies can also be improved by calculating site-specific Degree-days and K-factors for each tank and by taking historical propane usage for each tank, weather conditions, and projected fuel usage into account.

    Abstract: A vessel fill level is qualitatively determined and indicated by a device having a base and a vessel-supporting member that is resiliency suspended inwardly from and above the base. The base has an annular body with at least three stanchions, symmetrically spaced around the annular body, as well as a plurality of radially- inwardly-extending arms. Each stanchion has a vertical slot and each of the arms meet at an axial base member. The vessel support has a plurality of radially-outwardly extending arms and is adapted to support the vessel. A distal end of each of the arms is received and retained in one of the vertical slots, where a spring connects the arm to the base. Means for distinguishing at least two levels of vertical separation between the base and the vessel-supporting member provides a qualitative signal to a display that may be on the base or remote to the device.

    Abstract: A warning device (10) configured for removable mounting in combination with a high pressure gas cylinder (12) and a regulator (16) used to regulate the high pressure gas supplied by the cylinder (12). The device (10) compression mounts between the regulator (16) and tank outlet (18) on conventional portable oxygen and gas supply systems using a specially configured manifold (14). The device (10) features one or a combination of alarms, from a group including audio (40), visual (42), electronic, and remotely transmitted alarms (44). These alarms are activated by a pressure switch (36) monitoring the remaining supply in the gas cylinder (12) through a conduit (32) in the manifold (14). The alarm signal from the device (10) alerts the user, or a third party monitoring the user, of current tank pressure or will sound an alarm when remaining high pressure gas inside the gas cylinder (12) drops below a predetermined level.
