  • Patent number: 12689847
    Abstract: An automatic changeover valve switches fluid communication between a fluid outlet and either a first cylinder or a second cylinder, wherein the first and second cylinders hold one or more fluids, such as a liquified gas fuel. A detection device detects acceleration information of the automatic changeover valve. A processing unit analyzes the detected acceleration information and determines when the detected acceleration information indicates that the automatic changeover valve is switching the fluid communication of the gas fuel outlet from the first cylinder to the second cylinder. An alert to a remote computing system is generated of the changeover event.

  • Patent number: 11902726
    Abstract: A method of operating a battery powered telemetric device configured with a processor, a sensor to measure data to indicate the contents or usage of a product within an asset generating sample data, data storage, at least one battery and a transmitter, includes keeping in the data storage at least one instance of previous data samples represented in a previously transmitted packet, awakening the telemetric device at variable time intervals programmed according to pre-determined user-defined characteristics so that the sensor provides sample data to the data storage to indicate the contents or usage of the product within the asset wherein the telemetric device is otherwise asleep to minimize battery drain, storing all the sample data since the transmission of the previously transmitted packet and the kept at least one instance of previous data samples represented in the previously transmitted packet in the data storage as all the stored sample data, transmitting a packet including representations of the conten
