Abstract: A flow meter ultrasonically measures fluid velocity in a pipe and ultrasonically transmits fluid flow data along the pipe. An ultrasonic transducer used for fluid velocity measurement may optionally also be used for communication of flow data, and optionally, the ultrasonic frequency for fluid velocity measurement may be the same as the ultrasonic frequency for communication of flow data.

Abstract: A system for reception of radio transmissions includes: a collector, coupled to a plurality of transmitters via a plurality of wireless radio frequency (RF) links. The collector has a channelizer chain that receives an RF signal stream comprising broadcasts from the plurality of transmitters according to one or more known packet transmission protocols, converts the RF signal stream into digital bit streams that each correspond to a corresponding frequency channel. The collector also has a plurality of packet receivers that comport with a number of frequency channels provided by the channelizer chain and that are coupled in parallel to the channelizer chain. Each of the receivers processes more than one sample within each bit of a corresponding digital bit stream to detect, demodulate, and decode bits of the corresponding digital bit stream into packet payloads. The collector validates the packet payloads and forwards the packet payloads to one or more entities.

Abstract: Disclosed are smart adapters and methods for regulating system based at least in part on utility information. An adapter generally includes a receiver and a controller. The receiver is configured to receive one or more datacasts each containing utility information. The controller is configured to control a signal at a terminal of the system based at least in part on utility information. Once the adapter is plugged in, it starts reacting to real time validated information, and provides automatic communication and operations. The smart adapters and methods are easy and simple to install and have backwards/forward compatibility with a variety of existing systems.
