Abstract
A liquid level measuring system for a personal hydration pack using capacitive sensing pads located outside of the reservoir. Variation in the liquid level due to movement of the pack is used advantageously to increase the resolution of the measurement. An indicator shows both the liquid level and the time remaining before reservoir depletion.
