Monitoring, detection and notification system of spills and leaks from tanks and tipping over of vehicles, boats and vessels

A system for monitoring and detecting tipping over of the vehicles, boats and vessels or whether the vehicles, boats and vessels have been in an accident, and for reporting the same to corresponding authorities and other persons pre-authorized to receive this information, the system comprising:

• a positioning sensor mounted to the vehicle, boat or vessel for determining a location thereof,
• a gyroscope mounted to the vehicle, boat or vessel for determining if the vehicle, boat or vessel has rolled over from a stable position or has been impacted in an accident,
• a microprocessor mounted to the vehicle, boat or vessel, the microprocessor adapted to receive output signals from:
• the positioning sensor for determining the location of the vehicle, boat or vessel, and
• the gyroscope for determining whether there has been any rolling over of the vehicle, boat or vessel from a stable position or whether the vehicle, boat or vessel has been in an accident, and
• for producing an output signal in response thereto, and
• a transmitter mounted to the vehicle, boat or vessel for sending out an alarm signal and relevant information to corresponding authorities and other persons pre-authorized to receive this information, in response to the output signal from said microprocessor, when said microprocessor determines that there has been a rolling over of the vehicle, boat or vessel, or whether the vehicle, boat or vessel has been in an accident.

A system for monitoring and detecting levels of fuel in a fuel tank, comprising:

• a fuel sensor in the fuel tank for monitoring and detecting the fuel in the fuel tank, regardless of the position and orientation of the fuel tank, the fuel sensor being non-fixedly positioned at an inner surface at a bottom of the fuel tank and being free to move around to different positions in said fuel tank during movement of the fuel tank,
• a cover partially surrounding the fuel sensor to prevent damage to the inner surface of the fuel tank from the fuel sensor during movement of the fuel sensor in the fuel tank, while permitting the fuel to flow to the fuel sensor,
• a microprocessor mounted in close proximity to the fuel tank, the microprocessor adapted to receive output signals from the fuel sensor for determining the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and for producing an output signal in response thereto, and
• a transmitter mounted in close proximity to the fuel tank for sending out a signal as to the amount of fuel in the fuel tank to persons pre-authorized to receive this information, in response to the output signal from said microprocessor.
