Patent number: 11774391Abstract: An analyzer for a grease interceptor for measuring identity of materials and levels of fat, oil, and grease (FOG), water, sludge and air having a probe which includes a controller and a sensor sub-unit. Sensor circuits include a microcontroller, timers, and sampling capacitors. The sensor sub-unit includes a plurality of electrode ring pairs coupled to a plurality of timers for converting capacitance measurements to frequencies under the control of a microprocessor in the controller. The frequencies identify the measured levels. A calibration of the probe converts a range of frequency values of each sensor circuit to an arbitrary scale for improved accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Water Analytics, Inc.Inventor: Mark Spencer

Publication number: 20230237596Abstract: Systems and methods for utility intervention are disclosed. The method of utility intervention includes: (i) obtaining utility data from a utility data repository; (ii) detecting, using at least one type of anomaly-detecting module, at least one utility anomaly and a location address; (iii) calculating an amount of financial savings for the utility anomaly if the utility anomaly was remedied or addressed; (iv) computing a certainty score for the utility anomaly; (v) conveying information about the type of utility anomaly, and the location address of the utility anomaly; and (vi) displaying, on a display screen of a client device, a map depicting a geographical area that identifies, using a flag icon, the location address on the map of the utility anomaly, the type of the utility anomaly, a certainty score for the utility anomaly, and/or an amount of financial savings associated with the utility anomaly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Valor Water Analytics Inc.Inventors: Christine E. BOYLE, Renee JUTRAS, M. Sohaib ALAM, David R. WEGMAN
