Publication number: 20200326697Abstract: A system includes a wireless receiver and sensor module and a transponder. The wireless receiver and sensor module monitors a condition of a machine, and generate data that quantifies a machine condition. The transponder connects with the wireless receiver and sensor module to receive the data from the wireless receiver and sensor module. The transponder determines a sampling frequency for the wireless receiver and sensor module based on the machine condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2019Publication date: October 15, 2020Applicant: Nikola LabsInventors: Ryan Somogye, Jonathan Eric Turner, James Dvorsky

Patent number: 10663369Abstract: Systems and methods is described herein for detecting a water leak. In an example, a method for detecting a water leak can include receiving at a water monitoring system (WMS) one or more radio-frequency (RF) signals, converting the one or more RF signals to a direct-current (DC) voltage, storing the DC voltage at a storage element, configuring the WMS to monitor a water source for water, generating a control valve signal in response to detecting the water, and providing the control valve signal to a shutoff valve to cause the shutoff valve to cut-off the flow of the water to the water source.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Nikola Labs LLCInventor: James Dvorsky
