  • Water meter systems and methods with bypass-flow path and rechargeable energy storage
    Patent number: 9574923
    Abstract: A linear water meter system may include a metering system, a ball valve, a power generation system, a wireless communication system, or a combination thereof. The linear water meter system may provide a linear pathway through the meter that minimizes pressure loss in the system. Two pathways may be provided through the power generation system. One pathway may be utilized to generate power, and the other pathway may provide a bypass that can be utilized to maintain a desired water pressure level in the system.

  • LIGHT EMITTING DIODE BACKUP SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20120155056
    Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up LEDs are provided. In one embodiment, an LED backup system includes an LED backup controller operable to select from a plurality of power sources to supply electrical energy to a set of LEDs. The plurality of power sources includes a primary power source and a battery. The LED backup controller is adapted to be in selective electrical communication with the primary power source via a first electrical path. The LED backup controller is also adapted to be in electrical communication with the primary power source via a second electrical path. The LED backup controller is operable to select the battery to supply electrical energy to the set of LEDs in response to a failure of the LED backup controller to electrically communicate with the primary power source via the second electrical path.
