Measuring level of liquid in a tank or vessel can be accomplished in a number of ways, all of which require some arrangement of instrumentation to either infer the liquid level from the measurement of a related physical property, or directly deliver the liquid level visually using a scaled gauge arrangement. One indirect method of level measurement is the bubbler method, so named because it employs a purging gas that continually vents from the bottom of a tube extending into a tank of liquid. Through a simple apparatus, the level of a liquid can be inferred by the amount a back pressure exerted upon the gas flowing through the tube.
These instruments are what will be required to build a level measurement apparatus that uses the bubbler method.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

3. At Horne Engineering we have been involved in the design,
development and manufacture of thermostatic valves since 1909.
In the early 1920s, Horne developed the first thermostatic mixing
valves to be manufactured and sold in the UK.
Horne now supply mixing valves for a variety of applications including
healthcare, nursing and sheltered accommodation, education, sport
and leisure, housing associations and secure hospitals and prisons.
In addition to the core markets for TMVs, HORNE also apply their
thermostatic technology, expertise and quality to manufacture
products for process, marine and specialist applications.
HORNE Engineering have been designing, developing
and manufacturing thermostatic valves since 1909

SAFE FROM LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE
PROBLEM
Legionnaires disease is an illness caused by inhaling droplets of water
contaminated by legionella pnuemophila, which is a naturally occurring
organism frequently found in water supplies.
The organism can multiply in domestic hot water services at
temperatures between 20°C and 46°C.
SOLUTION
Kill legionellae by the natural method of heat.
It is rapidly killed at a temperature of 60ºC.
Therefore store and distribute domestic hot water at temperatures
close to 60°C.
SAFE FROM SCALDING
PROBLEM
Water at temperatures approaching 60°C presents a very high risk of
scalding accidents.
SOLUTION
Reduce the temperature at the point of use by mixing the hot water with
cold water using a HORNE thermostatic mixing valve to control the mixed
water at a safe and comfortable temperature.
6. SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE
All versions of the HORNE 15 and 20 TMVs have
been certified as compliant with the performance
requirements of the NHS Model engineering
specifications D08 Thermostatic mixing valves
(Healthcare premises) and as such are termed
Type 3 TMVs.
MECHANICAL SPECIFICATION
A variety of options are available but all include
certain key components in addition to the TMV
itself such as full bore fine mesh strainers, angle
pattern inlets and check valves. Other options
include integral isolating valves, wall mounting kits
and covers. These features must be taken into
account when evaluating the cost benefits of the
HORNE TMVs.
DURABILITY
The current range of HORNE TMVs is the result of
over eighty years of development and
improvement. Materials and designs have been
adopted to ensure that the product is highly
robust and durable.
MAINTENANCE SUPPORT
Having worked closely with our customers and
end users, we are fully aware of the vital
importance of maintenance. A TMV is principally a
safety product that has moving parts and must be
maintained to ensure correct performance.
The HORNE maintenance CD presentation
(see appendix) shows and tells our customers
how to install, commission and maintain HORNE
TMVs, and as such is an ideal method of
achieving continual safe performance over
a maximised lifespan.

Specification Guide
11. Technical Information
OPERATING PARAMETERS
Mixed water temperature setting at factory 41°C
Range of temperature adjustment 35-50°C
Range of hot water supply temperature 52-85°C
Minimum differential between hot water
temperature and mixed water temperature 5°C
Maximum static pressure 10 bar
Range of maintained water supply pressures 0.2-5 bar
SIZING CHART
Note 1: The HORNE 15 and HORNE 20 TMVs can be installed
with unequal inlet pressures and it is the lower of the two supply
pressures which will determine the flow rate for the valve.
Note 2: This graph allows for a maximum water velocity of 3m/s
in accordance with BS6700.
Hot and cold water supply pressures do not need to
be equal. The lower of the two pressures, however,
should not be less than 0.2 bar maintained (dynamic
pressure) . For example, mains cold water can be mixed
with tank fed hot water, provided that the hot water
pressure is not less than 0.2 bar.
STANDARDS AND APPROVALS

12. FLUSHING KIT
To comply with Water Byelaws 2000 (Scotland) and BS6700:1997 (England and Wales) all pipework should be flushed after
installation, renewal or repair.
A HORNE Flushing Kit allows the pipework to be thoroughly flushed at full bore without any dirt or debris entering the TMV, non-
return valves or strainer baskets.
The Flushing Kit consists of a screwed adaptor to fit into the strainer body in place of the strainer basket and a plastic hose. Only
one or two Flushing Kits are required on each site and these are available on request (see diagram below).

MAINTENANCE CD PART NO. L-107
To ensure a maximised working lifespan, HORNE thermostatic
mixing valves require periodic testing and maintenance.
To ensure that the correct procedures are adhered to, we have
developed a CD ROM that covers all aspects from how a
HORNE valve works, installation and commissioning to the
maintenance procedures. The parts and procedures are
illustrated with digital animation, photographs and video
footage as well as being available in pdf documents for you to
download.
Please call us to arrange for a CD demonstration.
MONITORING KIT PART NO. 71-7377
The HORNE Monitoring Kit can be used for periodically testing
the performance of the TMV and identifying what kind of
maintenance, if any, is required. The monitoring kit comprises:
• Digital thermometer • Two pressure gauges 0-2 bar 0-10 bar
• Immersion probe • Contact probe
• Carrying case • Hot and cold supply access adaptors
The monitoring kit enables the on-site measurement of the
following conditions:
• Hot water supply pressure • Cold water supply pressure
• Hot water temperature at the inlet to the HORNE TMV
• Cold water temperature at the inlet to the HORNE TMV
• Mixed water temperature at the tap or outlet
