Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling a flow device, the method comprising:
detecting, via a photodiode element, presence of one or more particles carried by fluid flowing through a fluid sensor;
generating, via the photodiode element, signal pulses based upon the detection of the presence of one or more particles carried by the fluid;
monitoring, via the fluid sensor, the signal pulses generated by the photodiode element;
determining that the signal pulses satisfy one or more particle criteria; and
generating a control signal for an external device based on the determination that the signal pulses satisfy the one or more particle criteria,
wherein the one or more particle criteria defines a ratio of fluorescent particles in the fluid to non-fluorescent particles in the fluid.
