A computerized method for sensing the level of liquefied gas in a tank at a remote location and transmitting data between the location of the tank and the computer to maintain files for inventory control. A microprocessor collects electrical signals from a tank mounted transducer, which is actuated by a float gauge, and periodically sends data over telephone lines to a computer located remotely from the tank. The computer receives and processes data during time windows established for each of a group of tanks to provide current data regarding the supply of liquefied gas in the tanks.

Telecommunication system for remote LP gas inventory control

Universal synchronous marine navigation light system comprising plural duplex lamp stations. Each duplex lamp station includes a microcomputer, all microcomputers being interconnected by an RS422 communications loop so as to operate all stations in synchronism and in conformance with any existing international standard of operation. Each duplex station comprises a first section having a pair of ac operated lamps and a second section having a pair of lamps one of which is ac operated and the other of which is dc operated. The ac lamps are operated in an on/off flash pattern under normal conditions in '15 mile' or '12 mile standby' modes. If all ac lamps fail, the dc lamp is operated in a 'default' flash pattern in a '10 mile' mode.
