Claim 15:
16. A method of detecting a material flow, comprising:
providing a sensing system including:
a housing configured to be coupled to a structure for receiving the material flow, wherein the housing includes a first opening and a second opening formed therein, and wherein the second opening is configured to permit a material in the housing to return back to the structure and into the material flow;
a sensor assembly at least partially disposed in the housing, wherein the sensor assembly includes a flow member disposed in the housing and a sensor disposed in the housing adjacent the flow member, wherein the sensor is configured to monitor the flow member in the housing, and wherein a portion of the flow member extends through the first opening of the housing into the structure adjacent the material flow; and
a controller in communication with the sensor assembly;

detecting, via the electromagnetic sensor, at least one parameter of at least one of the flow member and the material flow; and
determining, via the controller, at least one desired output based upon the at least one parameter.
