A lockout/tagout or smart isolation device includes a wireless link, a non-volatile memory, and a controller in communication with the wireless link and the non-volatile memory. The wireless link is in selective communication with a wireless identification device, such as a keycard, carried by a user. The controller is programmed to receive a signal from the wireless link and write usage information about the device to at least a portion of the non-volatile memory such that the portion of the non-volatile memory storing the usage information cannot be erased or re-written thereby securely storing this usage information. This lockout/tagout or smart isolation device may be standalone or be part of a system that may potentially serve as part of a facility-wide safety system (for example, networked or in communication with a SCADA system).

A sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a transducer, a memory element to store a plurality of transducer signatures, and a processor to identify the transducer using the transducer signatures, to process the environmental characteristic using the identified transducer signatures and the adaptive algorithm, and to output the processed environmental characteristics.

An apparatus for measuring tubidity of a liquid has a tubular lens of transparent material with an aperture for receiving the liquid. First and second first light emitters are positioned adjacent the tubular lens to produce two beams of light each diverging at a predefined angle and impinging the tubular lens. The tubular lens refracts the diverging beams of light from the two light emitters into separate collimated beams within the aperture. A first light detector positioned adjacent the tubular lens diametrically opposite to the first light emitter and a second light detector positioned diametrically opposite to the first light emitter and a second light detector positioned diametrically opposite to the second light emitter. Each light detector produces a signal indicating an intensity of light received from within the tubular lens and the signals are process to derive a turbidity measurement.
