An overview of the existing methods for measuring the liquid level and their disadvantages in the case of surface vibrations is presented. A system for continuous measurement of the mass of liquids in fuel tanks and tanks during rolling and tilting of vehicles and ships, implemented in a level gauge based on intelligent sensors, is proposed. The sensors include a microcontroller with an individual calibration characteristic of the volume-level dependence, taking into account the shape of the tank or fuel tank, and nanosensors built into the intelligent sensor (ID) for measuring density, permittivity and ambient temperature. It is established that the actual metrological characteristics of the ID are significantly higher than the characteristics of traditional sensors. The number and dimensions of the plates of flat capacitors are justified and the scheme of their arrangement on the roof of the tanks is presented. The exclusion of movable elements increased the reliability of operation, simplified maintenance and design requirements of the measuring object. Analytical expressions for calculating the level and mass of the liquid, implemented by the microcontroller, are given. The use of the proposed measurement system with complex computational processing and taking into account corrections for temperature, density, humidity and permittivity of the liquid made it possible to increase the accuracy and stability of the level meter readings. Analytical expressions are derived that relate the liquid level and the output frequency of the generator from the composition of the level gauge.

Aiming at the problem of the fairness of the judgment results in the traditional basketball referee training and evaluation process affected by external factors, an intelligent system for training and assessment of basketball referees in sports events based on intelligent sensors is proposed. We collect the judged poses of basketball referees by wearing intelligent sensor devices, store the collected information in the database using the converter, and analyze the pose data with the quaternion pose solution method based on complementary filters. According to the comparator, the analysis result is compared with the standard judgment information, and the action is judged whether the action conforms to the basketball judgment rules of the sports event. The judge’s action pose score is evaluated according to the judgment result, and the training assessment result is outputted. The results show that the system can clearly simulate the acceleration and pose angle data of the referee’s complex actions, the recognition rate of various basketball penalty poses is high, and the error of the pitch, yaw, and roll pose calculations is small. The response time of this system is 4 ms, when the number of requests sent by the client is 200 which is unanimously approved by the referees.

A new kind of device measuring liquid level automatically is developed which is composed of camera, illuminating system and industrial computer. It’s based on image measurement technology. The image of the transparent glass liquid level gauge which is installed on the volumetric tank of a flow calibration facility is captured by a camera. After a series of image pre-processing, such as interception, gamma correction, edge detection and so on, the value of liquid level which is the liquid level of the tank can be got by so called peak method. The measurement error is 0.1mm.

The objective of this research is to develop methodology and framework for distributed shop floor planning, real-time monitoring, and remote device control supported by intelligent sensors. An intelligent sensor serves runtime data from bottom up to facilitate high-level decision-making. It assures that correct decisions are made in a timely manner, if compared with the best estimations of engineers. Being an adaptive system, a so-designed framework will improve the flexibility and dynamism of shop floor operations, and provide a seamless integration among process planning, resource scheduling, job execution, process monitoring, and device control. This paper presents principles of the methodology, details in architecture design, module interactions, information flow, and a proof-of-concept prototype implementation.

This passage mainly introduces about the design of liquid level and boundary measuring control at sewage re-flooding craft in small split oil field. In order to achieve automatically cutting flooding and re-flooding in the procedure in small split oil-field, the scheme is to test liquid level and boundary by using high performance to price ratio new double level gauge, to utilize electric valve instead of mechanical valve and to choose PLC to control system logic. Eventually, it will reduce the labor intensity.

Abstract Blowdown process is an important process in LOCA. Studying the internal thermal hydraulic characteristics of the pressurizer during LOCA blowdown process can help to accurately analyze the process of the whole LOCA, which is of great significance to reduce the hazard of accidents and improve the safety of nuclear power plants. An experiment system of blowdown process under low pressure conditions is built, and it uses a pressure gauge and a differential pressure level gauge to measure the pressure and liquid level in the pressurizer-type heating container, and uses a thermocouple to measure the temperature in the pressurizer-type heating container at different heights and distances from the centerline. The changes of pressure, liquid level and temperature characteristics during the blowdown process were obtained. The research results show that the higher the heating power, the greater the slope of pressure change in the heating container, and the pressure changes from negative to positive growth; The greater the heating power is, the faster the liquid level decreases, and the liquid level decreases sharply after the blowdown inflection point. The greater the heating power is, the greater the rate of temperature change, from negative growth to positive growth. The temperature change rate after the blowdown inflection point is reduced. As the height increases, the temperature inside the container first increases and then decreases; the further away from the container’s centerline, the higher the measured temperature.

Intelligent sensors should be seamlessly, securely, and trustworthy interconnected to enable automated high-level smart applications. Semantic metadata can provide contextual information to support the accessibility of these features, making it easier for machines and humans to process the sensory data and achieve interoperability. The unique overview of sensor ontologies according to the semantic needs of the layers of IoT solutions can serve a guideline of engineers and researchers interested in the development of intelligent sensor-based solutions. The explored trends show that ontologies will play an even more essential role in interlinked IoT systems as interoperability and the generation of controlled linkable data sources should be based on semantically enriched sensory data.
