  • Intrinsically safe sensor and data transmission system
    Patent number: 6369715
    Abstract: A sensor monitoring system comprises a passive sensor, a monitored transmitter, a repeater, and a central receiver. The system provides easy installation, convenient calibration, and very low maintenance. The sensor and the monitored transmitter are battery powered and, in order the conserve battery power, the sensor and the monitored transmitter receive power only on command from their respective microprocessor.

  • Intrinsically safe fluid tank overfill protection system
    Patent number: 6229448
    Abstract: A tank level monitoring and alarm system comprises a passive level switch, a transmitter, a repeater, and a receiver. It provides easy installation, convenient calibration, and very low maintenance. A mechanical level switch for the specific vessel is installed. The contacts of the level switch are connected to the transmitter. When the switch is activated, the transmitter immediately broadcasts an alarm signal to the receiver. A relay output at the receiver is either opened or closed thus activating the alarm or other device attached to it. The relay output may also connect to a control apparatus, such as a signal transmitter to provide for remote operation of such devices as valves.
