ABSTRACT:
A level detector detects the level of an approximately flat surface of a substance in a container. The level detector illuminates a portion of the surface, and detects the location of the illuminated portion on the surface. Based on detecting the location of the illuminated portion, the level detector generates a signal related to the level of the surface, which can represent the level of the surface in a direction perpendicular to the surface. A method for determining a level of a surface of a substance in a container includes illuminating a portion of the surface, detecting a location of the illuminated portion on the surface, and generating a signal related to the level of the surface based on the result of detecting the location of the illuminated portion.
