Abstract

In an aspect, a system for recording and displaying the status of a container includes a recording assembly and a displaying assembly. The recording assembly includes a keypad via which data are entered and a transmitter for transmitting the data in a cable-free manner. The displaying assembly includes a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter and a display for displaying the data. In another aspect, a system for detecting and displaying the status of a container includes a detecting assembly and a displaying assembly. The detecting assembly includes a probe extending into the container for detecting a factor of the status of the container and producing data representative of the factor and a transmitter for transmitting the signal in a cable-free manner. The displaying assembly includes a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter and a display for displaying the data.

Claims

1. A system for recording and displaying the status of a container, the recording and displaying system including:

a recording assembly including a keypad via which data are entered and a transmitter for transmitting the data in a cable-free manner; and

a displaying assembly including a receiver for receiving the data from the transmitter and a display for displaying the data.

2. The recording and displaying system according to claim 1 wherein the recording assembly includes a display on which the data can be displayed.

3. The recording and displaying system according to claim 2 wherein the recording assembly includes a panel on which the display and the keypad are both mounted.

4. The recording and displaying system according to claim 1 wherein the transmitter is an IR transmitter and the receiver is an IR receiver.

5. The recording and displaying system according to claim 1 wherein the recording assembly includes a panel on which the keypad is mounted.

6. The recording and displaying system according to claim 5 wherein the recording assembly includes a circuit board attached to the pan and electrically connected with all of the display, the keypad and the transmitter.
