single dipole element may be half a

The liquid stream is divided into the positive displacement

fixed volume cavities between the gear flow meter
teeth and meter body. The upstream
liquid pressure continuously fills the
cavities and forces the gears to rotate
away from the inlet. The volumes of
liquid are then squeezed out from
between the teeth as they re-mesh on
223 the outlet side of the flow meter. Each
revolution of the flow meter will allow
liquid, equal in total volume to the gear
teeth spacing, to pass through the
meter. The rotation of the gears is
sensed through the rotation of one of
the gear shafts.

A ultrasonic level switch is equipped level switch
with a microprocessor that is
generating pulses through a signal
processor to a ultrasonic transducer.
The ultrasonic transducer transmits an
616 ultrasonic beam towards the surface
level, and the returned echo is
detected and the signal is processed in
the microprocessor.
A ultrasonic level transmitter use an level transmitter

acoustic pulse emitted from a
ultrasonic transducer towards the
surface to be measured. This acoustic
pulse is then reflected back towards
617
the transducer and the time taken for
the pulse to return is accurately
measured by a microprocessor-
controlled circuitry.

Venturies are found in many physical object

applications where the speed of the
fluid is important, and form the basis of
devices like a carburettor. They are
634 also used to measure the speed of a
fluid, see venturi tube flow meter.
pipe
635
A venturi tube is a pipe section that differential pressure

forms a relatively long passage, first flow meter
636 narrowing smoothly down in diameter
and then opening up back to original
diameter at the exit.

A whip antenna is commonly used in antenna

the MF through UHF bands, is
normally made from electrically
conducting glass fibre whips, but may
also be made of metal. Should ideally
be of 1/4 (or 1/2) electrical wavelength.
659 When this is not possible (e.g. in MF or
low HF band and on most portable
radios), this is compensated for by a
serial inductor at the antenna footprint.
detecting element
660
Most commonly used for unbalanced antenna

antennas, but is also used for
661 balanced types (e.g. dipoles in the HF
band).
662
663
Commonly used for e.g. TV and FM antenna

radio reception in the VHF and UHF
664 bands. Directivity will depend on the
number of elements. Bandwidth is
quite narrow.
