摘要： A method of determining a temperature and a pressure in a tank is provided. The method comprises the steps of obtaining sensor data and calculating coefficients. Then, a bridge resistance is ratiometrically determined from a bridge voltage. A temperature is calculated with the coefficients and the bridge resistance. Thereafter, a transition from a temperature measurement mode to a pressure measurement mode is made. A voltage per resistance is calculated with the coefficients and a differential voltage. Then, a normalized voltage is calculated using the voltage per resistance, the differential voltage, and the bridge resistance to indirectly compensating for temperature. A pressure is calculated with the coefficients and the normalized voltage.

摘要： A temperature and pressure measuring circuit is provided. The circuit comprises an uncompensated pressure transducer, an analog-to-digital converter, a reference resistive device, and first and second switches. The transducer has variable resistive devices between first, second, third, and fourth bridge nodes. The analog-to-digital converter has first and second reference inputs and first and second differential inputs. When the first switch couples the first differential input and the third bridge node and the second switch couples the second differential input and a ground, a bridge voltage is measurable and a bridge resistance is ratiometrically determinable. The bridge resistance is employed to calculate a temperature. When the first switch couples the first differential input and the first bridge node and the second switch couples the second differential input and the second bridge node, a differential voltage is measurable. The differential voltage is employed to calculate a pressure.

摘要： A signal processing device for processing a machine vibration signal includes a peak value detector for determining the peak vibration amplitude values during predetermined sample time periods. In one embodiment, the vibration signal is digitally processed prior to receipt by a digital peak value detector. In another embodiment, analog processing and peak value detection of the vibration signal is employed. The peak values are then made available for further processing. In many situations, the peak values will be associated with mechanical faults which will be detected at periodic rates corresponding to the mechanical component defect frequencies without additional signal enhancement. Further enhancement can be acquired by synchronous averaging the peak values with the speed of a rotating element. A signal representing the speed of a rotating element (target element) may be obtained directly from a speed sensor that is measuring the speed of the target element, or if the target element is inaccessible, a corrected pseudo-speed signal can be calculated from the speed of an accessible rotating element that is linked to the target element. Transformation of synchronous amplitudes to the frequency domain by means of a fast Fourier transform reveals information that can be used to assess whether or not a fault is present in the rotating machine element.
摘要翻译：用于处理机械振动信号的信号处理装置包括用于在预定采样时间段内确定峰值振幅值的峰值检测器。在一个实施例中，振动信号在数字峰值检测器接收之前被数字处理。在另一个实施例中，采用振动信号的模拟处理和峰值检测。峰值随后可用于进一步处理。在许多情况下，峰值将与机械故障相关联，机械故障将以对应于机械部件缺陷频率的周期速率检测，而不需要额外的信号增强。可以通过使峰值与旋转元件的速度同步平均来获得进一步的增强。可以从正在测量目标元件的速度的速度传感器直接获得表示旋转元件（目标元件）的速度的信号，或者如果目标元件不可访问，则可以根据目标元件的速度来计算校正的伪速度信号连接到目标元件的可触及旋转元件的速度。通过快速傅里叶变换将同步幅度转换到频域，显示可用于评估旋转机器元件中是否存在故障的信息。

摘要： A wireless tank monitoring system for remotely monitoring a plurality of storage tanks is provided. This tank monitoring system utilizes wireless communication from individual tank level monitors to a single SatComm Gateway. The SatComm Gateway then utilizes a low-Earth Orbit satellite constellation to transmit information to a central data collection center. The data collection center then provides access to this information to clients. These clients also have the capability of controlling individual monitors via the bi-directional communications path through the satellite link to the SatComm Gateway to the individual monitors. The SatComm Gateway packages the information from each of the monitors to optimize the communications through the satellite link to decrease the cost of transmission. Intrinsic safety is provided by each of the individual tank level monitors.

The monitor is operably coupled to the tank and adapted to detect the level of product in the tank at a first rate and at a second rate. The data center is in communication with the monitor and adapted to receive a user inputtable threshold level of change. The monitor detects the level of product in the tank at the first rate until the threshold level of change is detected. Thereafter, the monitor detects the level of product in the tank at the second rate. The data center generates an alarm signal to indicate that one of the delivery and the drain has occurred.
