The invention relates to a sensor device for detecting the fill level in a collection container. Said sensor device comprises an ultrasound transducer and is designed such that the sensor device, and thus also the ultrasound transducer, can switch between an active operating mode and a power-saving mode. The sensor device and the ultrasound transducer arranged therein require less energy in the power-saving mode than in the operating mode. In the power-saving mode, the sensor device can be brought into the active operating mode by means of environmental signals and external trigger conditions, which can be configured specifically for a given collection container type. An activation device is provided, which is designed such that, based on an external signal, the activation device causes the sensor device to switch into the active operating mode, wherein the ultrasound transducer performs at least one measurement in the active operating mode. In order to be able to forgo a buffer memory and transmit the data more quickly, the sensor device has a low-power interface for wireless transfer of data.

218 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A PRODUCT DISPLACEMENT SENSING DEVICE EP05854843 2005-12-21 EP1848980A4 2009-08-19 CHADWELL THOMAS J; ROMANYSZYN MICHAEL T; VIRA JOHN
A displacement sensing device transduces deflection of a body disposed around a conduit into complementary signals indicative of the amount of displacement experienced by the conduit. The displacement sensing device includes a cuff and a sensor disposed on an outer periphery of the cuff, and may further include a controller in communication with the sensor, such that the controller receives signals from the sensor and compares the current signals to a normal operating range. The normal operating range may be predetermined or derived based on trends, thereby allowing the controller to adapt to any product disposed within the conduit. Once the range is determined, the controller is able to discern when the product system is out of product, or operating at elevated pressures. In alternative embodiments, a pumping device or an inductor may generate a recognizable wave pattern that may be monitored to determine if the product system contains product.
