International Classification:
G08G 1/123
US Classification:
340992000, 342357090
Abstract:
A device, method, and computer program product for monitoring and transmitting a location and a local status of a remote device using a satellite transmitter is provided. The monitoring device includes a position location unit, a satellite transmitter, a power source, a controller, and a short-range radio transceiver. The position location unit is configured to determine a location of the remote device. The satellite transmitter is configured to transmit the location to one or more satellites in low earth orbit. The controller includes a power management unit configured to control a power state of the position location unit and the satellite transmitter, and to periodically enable and disable power from the power source to the position location unit and the satellite transmitter. The short-range radio transceiver is used to configure and remotely manage the monitoring device and is used by the monitoring device to monitor local sensors wirelessly.
Electronic Tamper Detection Circuit For An Electricity Meter
US Patent:
7511470, Mar 31, 2009
Filed:
Jan 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/668180
Inventors:
Stephen Schamber - Baton Rouge LA, US
Assignee:
M&FC Holding, LLC - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
G01R 1/00, H02B 1/20, H02B 1/00
US Classification:
324110, 361654, 361672
Abstract:
An electronic meter tamper detection system and method for sensing the removal of an electricity meter from a meter socket and generating a tamper signal when such removal is detected. The tamper detection circuit includes a control unit having an energy storage device that is charged during normal operation of the electricity meter. When power is interrupted to the electricity meter, the control unit applies a charging voltage to a voltage regulating device within the electricity meter. The voltage regulating device can be charged only when the electricity meter is installed within the meter socket. After applying the charging voltage to the voltage regulating device, the control unit senses whether the voltage regulating device has been charged. If the voltage regulating device has not been charged, the control unit indicates that the meter has been removed from the meter socket.
