  • Patent number: 10193979
    Abstract: System architecture that provides computer-based methods of wireless communication between a wireless metrological device and a mobile computing device that includes the sending/receiving of data (e.g., measurements) along with a universal generic data service that includes data descriptor(s) affiliated with the measurements. The architecture and methods, which may be communicated via BLE, allow for uniform communication between tools and mobile computing devices regardless of tool type, manufacturer, and measurement information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9870690
    Abstract: A metrological interface device includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”) including at least one metrological sensor communication interface and at least one first wireless communication interface. The metrological interface device is in communication with a metrological sensing device via the metrological sensor communication interface. Each metrological sensing device is coupled to a physical asset. Each metrological interface device is configured to receive the metrological data from the metrological sensing device. The metrological interface device is configured to receive metrological data from the metrological sensing device via the metrological sensor communication interface. Metrological data represents physical measurement data associated with the physical asset.

  • Publication number: 20110267027
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for providing detecting lightning strikes. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method for determining a lightning strike event, classification, and location is provided. The method includes receiving lightning electrical current in least one down conductor, generating voltage and polarity signals based at least in part on the received lightning electrical current, storing the generated voltage and polarity signals, and determining the lightning strike event, classification, and location based at least in part on the stored voltage and polarity signals.
