There are first and second electrodes the are fixed respectively to the first and second sides. The pump also includes a processor that is coupled to measure a capacitance between the first and second electrodes and to estimate, responsively to the capacitance, a volume of the fluid remaining in the container.1/6 LO LO U') U" :z W C) w~ Lu >;~~J - ~ C -,j Q 00 c C) CD, C)i C-' 0 C, C1D1 Ico C1CO
