G01D 4/00
G01R 21/00
H04L 12/28

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention provide an electric meter assembly including a meter support platform or base able to reversibly electrically couple to a transformer providing inputs including an AC power supply, phase voltage, and/or a phase current. Output of the meter support platform or base can be DC power, AC phase voltage signals and/or AC phase current. Further, a removable or portable meter can couple to the meter support platform or base and to an electric meter system including a meter core coupled to a wireless transmitter, an antenna, an integrated power sensor, and data meter front end. The system includes a data manager configured for electric service analysis including energy usage, and/or interval temperature, phase voltage, current and phase angle in real time, electric energy kWh and kVARh values in a user-specified period, wrong meter base installation detection, physical location of the removable or portable meter, and tamper detection.

International Classification:

G01R 22/06

Abstract:

Some embodiments include a metering system including a base housing configured to be coupled to a supply of a consumable, and including a plurality of meter slots, wherein each meter slot is configured to couple with a removeable meter module. Further, the metering system includes a removeable cover housing configured to removably couple to the base housing, and a meter module that includes at least one meter core and at least one data transfer functionality or assembly. The meter module can independently meter at least a portion of the consumable consumed by at least one consumer. A metering assembly with a removeable meter module and an associated meter slot can independently meter at least a portion of a consumable consumed by at least one consumer, and metering of the consumable to a consumer from one meter slot is independent of metering of the consumable from another meter slot.

International Classification:

G01D 4/00
H02J 7/00
G01F 15/06

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention include a resource metering system and method including one or more sensors, and an automatic shut-off valve, a power source, a capacitor-based charging circuit, an RF communications board, and a processor capable of executing instructions from a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of a resource distribution system. The operation of the processor by the instructions can enable the resource metering system to wirelessly receive and act on signals or data transmitted from the RF communication board, where the signals or data are received from the sensors.
