Abstract

A fill level sensor for a liquid soap container or vessel has a float-bearing arm and an accelerometer that is attached to a surface of the arm to detect changes in the volume of liquid soap in the container. A feedback system then conveys fill status information based on the output of the accelerometer, such as to service personnel who may be responsible for replenishing the supply of liquid soap in the container.
