Abstract
A sensor device includes a signal transmitting component configured to transmit a signal into a container engaged by the sensor device, wherein a frequency of the signal is selected to allow the signal to at least in part pass through a content fouling at least a portion of the signal transmitting component. The sensor device includes a processor configured to process a received reflected version of the transmitted signal to determine an identifier associated with an amount of content in the container engaged by the sensor device. The sensor device includes a wireless transmitter configured to transmit the identifier associated with the amount of content in the container.
