of a fluid. The device includes a container for receiving the fluid therein and an auger. The auger has a shaft extending along an axis and a helical flange extending radially about the shaft. The auger is movable in the fluid between a first position and a second position. A sensor is operatively connected to the auger. The sensor measures a force on the auger as the auger moves from the first position to the second position. Linkage is interconnected to the sensor. The linkage translates motion to the auger.
The sensor may be a load cell and the first position and the second position are axially spaced. A motor is operatively connected to the linkage for imparting axial movement thereon. A guide structure guides movement of the linkageThe House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a bill that would cut, by half, the housing stipend for children of service members going to school with transferred Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.

The reduction, which would not apply to benefits already transferred or transferred within 180 days of the bill becoming law, was included to pay for other aspects of the legislation, according to a spokesman for the House Veterans Affairs Committee.

The bill, passed on a voice vote, includes measures on veterans health care, jobs and transition out of the military.

But the sharp reduction in the housing stipend, often one of the most valuable parts of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, has generated some pointed criticism and split military and veterans advocacy groups.
