Abstract: A piezoelectric fluid pressure fluctuation frequency sensor, preferably for a vortex-shedding flowmeter. A piezoelectric transducer is located in a sensor chamber between and in physical contact with a diaphragm and a chamber surface. Pressure fluctuations in a von Karman vortex street outside the diaphragm compress the transducer, between the diaphragm and the chamber surface. The transducer generates a responsive electrical signal which is representative of the pressure fluctuations.

Abstract: An improved flow meter and sensor body therefor, the body having a strain relief portion. A housing of the flow meter defines a fluid flow passage and a sensor body opening. A sensor body mounting portion is mounted to the housing. A sensor body sensor supporting portion is in the fluid flow passage, and supports flow sensor transducers in the fluid flow. The sensor body relief portion is intermediate the sensor body mounting and supporting portions, in the sensor body opening, and adapted to relieve induced strain from external vibration, whereby the flow meter is substantially insensitive to external vibration.

Abstract: A ribbon for a thermal printer has a series of frames of different colors in a sequence that are correlated to the position of cards to be printed. The ribbon has indexing marks for each frame and also indicators for each repeating sequence of frames. The index marks are arranged in a line across the ribbon and the marks can be coded to individually indicate the color or other characteristic of the frame associated with the line of index mark. This information is received by a controller to control various printer functions.

Abstract: A transmitter in a process control loop includes a sensor for sensing a process variable. An analog-to-digital converter coupled to the sensor provides a digitized process variable at various sample times. An interface couples the transmitter to the control loop and is used for communicating information and receiving power over the control loop. The transmitter includes a clock and a memory. A microprocessor coupled to the clock and the memory stores digitized process variables and clock information in the memory. The storage is such that the sample time of a stored digitized process variable can be determined.
