Embodiments of the present invention provide I / O systems, methods, and devices for interfacing pump controller(s) with control device(s) which may have different interfaces and / or signaling formats. In one embodiment, an I / O interface module comprises a processor, a memory, and at least two data communications interfaces for communicating with a pumping controller and a control device. The I / O interface module can receive discrete signals from the control device, interpret them accordingly and send the packets to the pump controller. The pump controller reads the packets and takes appropriate actions at the pump. The I / O interface module can interpret packets of data received from the pump controller and assert corresponding discrete signals to the control device. The I / O interface module is customizable and allows a variety of interfaces and control schemes to be implemented with a particular multiple stage pump without changing the hardware of the pump.

There is provided a nuclear magnetic resonance probe in which the loss caused by a high frequency cable between a probe coil and a preamplifier is reduced and the sensitivity of an NMR signal is improved. A changeover switch for NMR probe is divided into a switch part including switch elements and a filter part for filtering a switch control signal and an RF transmission signal. The switch part is disposed in a probe body inserted in a magnet of the probe. The filter part is disposed near a measurement apparatus located outside the probe. As for the switch part, a section structure of thickness and width is reduced in conformity with a narrow and slender shape of the probe body. The length of a high frequency cable between the probe coil and the preamplifier is shortened remarkably, and consequently the loss can be reduced.

A system for imaging an area using a plurality of non-contact measurement optical sensors comprises a plurality of substantially identical sensors that detect the presence of a connected network of like sensors, accept the assignment of the role of a managing sensor or a support sensor and individually image a portion of said area. Each sensor may also individually derive image information from its image. The images or image information from each of the plurality of sensors are delivered to the managing sensor which combines them with its own image or image information and that acts as the exclusive client server for delivering the combined image or combined image information to the client.

The invention relates to a cleaning and charging station for an electrically driven device. The station comprising an outer housing with a base portion and a gallows structure extending from the base portion. The base portion comprises a cleaning chamber for at least partially receiving the electrically driven device and the gallows structure comprises a charging terminal for charging the electrically driven device. The station further comprises a circuit board mounted within the housing and connected to the charging terminal. The circuit board is located in the gallows structure at a position spaced from the cleaning chamber.

A floating roof monitoring system and method. One or more sensors can be disposed atop a liquid storage tank having a floating roof covering liquid stored in the liquid storage tank. Each laser sensor measures the distance between the sensor and the floating roof. One or more liquid level gauges can be deployed, which measure a liquid position of the liquid stored in the liquid storage tank. A computing system communicates electronically with the laser sensor(s) and the liquid level gauge(s) to calculate the difference between the liquid position and the distance between the sensor(s) and the floating roof to determine the exact position of the floating roof and activate an alarm or force a process associated with the liquid storage tank to halt.

The present invention provides a multi-point real-time collection system for environmental data, including: a host computer and one or more lower computers distributed in different areas, each lower computer includes a micro-control unit and a plurality of monitors deployed at different monitoring points in the corresponding area Sensor; the sensor is used to collect the environmental data of the monitoring point; the micro-control unit is used to obtain the environmental data of each monitoring point in real time; judge whether the current environmental data of each monitoring point obtained in real time has changed drastically, and will The current environmental data and the identity information of corresponding monitoring points are transmitted to the upper computer; the upper computer is used to receive the environmental data and the identity information of corresponding monitoring points sent by each lower computer in real time, and for any monitoring point, if the upper computer does not When the new data of the monitoring point is received, the current environmental data of the monitoring point is by default consistent with the data received last time. The invention can improve the real-time performance of environment data summarization and tracking with lower overhead.
