Abstract
A flow monitor for monitoring application of a matter through a first flow path having a first outlet and a second flow path having a second outlet. The flow monitor includes a first temperature sensing device positioned adjacent the first outlet. The first temperature sensing device produces a first temperature signal. A second temperature sensing device is positioned adjacent the second outlet. The second temperature sensing device produces a second temperature signal. A signaling device that is remote from the first outlet and remote from the second outlet is activated when the first temperature signal differs from the second temperature signal by a predetermined value.
Claims21
A flow monitor for monitoring application of a matter through a first flow path having a first outlet and a second flow path having a second outlet, the flow monitor comprising:
- a first temperature sensing device positioned adjacent the first outlet and producing a first temperature signal;
- a second temperature sensing device positioned adjacent the second outlet and producing a second temperature signal;
- and
- a signaling device, remote from the first outlet and remote from the second outlet, the signaling device is activated when the first temperature signal differs from the second temperature signal by a predetermined value.
An agricultural implement for delivering a matter to a soil comprising:
- a coupling mechanism for coupling to a vehicle;
- a frame coupled to the coupling mechanism and extending from the coupling mechanism and adapted to be pulled by the vehicle in a direction of travel;
- a plurality of wheel assemblies coupled to the frame, the wheel assemblies supporting the frame above a surface;
- a first ground engaging component coupled to the frame for delivering the matter to the soil;
- a second ground engaging component coupled to the frame for delivering the matter to the soil;
- and
- a flow monitor comprising a first temperature sensing device positioned adjacent the first ground engaging component and producing a first temperature signal, a second temperature sensing device positioned adjacent the second ground engaging component and producing a second temperature signal, and a display device, remote from the first ground engaging component and remote from the second ground engaging component, the display device displaying the first temperature signal and the second temperature signal;
- wherein the display device comprises a signaling device that is activated when the first temperature signal and the second temperature signal differ by a predetermined value.
A flow monitor for monitoring application of a matter by an agricultural implement adapted to be pulled by a vehicle, the agricultural implement including a flow path having an outlet, the flow monitor comprising:
- a first temperature sensing device positioned adjacent the outlet and producing a matter temperature signal;
- a second temperature sensing device coupled to one of the agricultural implement and the vehicle and producing an ambient temperature signal;
- and
- a signaling device that is remote from the outlet and is activated when the matter temperature signal differs from the ambient temperature signal by a predetermined value.
