Patents by Inventor Anil Bhide

Anil Bhide has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method and system for configuring a feature for an energy meter as legally important or legally non-important
    Patent number: 12223049
    Abstract: Methods and systems for access control involve dynamically controlling an access to firmware running a certified feature in an energy meter and a non-certified feature in the energy meter. The access can be based on a bifurcation between the certified feature and the non-certified feature running in the energy meter on one or more of a single microcontroller or a group of different microcontrollers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2025
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Anil Bhide, Naga Lakshmi Vijaya Shanthi Bandreddi, Ritesh Naik, Nagaraja Sundaresh
  • Classification of magnet tampering conditions on a metering device
    Patent number: 11650234
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting tampering of an energy meter can involve, in a first phase: gathering magnetic field sample data, an average magnetic field strength, a minimum magnetic field strength, and a maximum magnetic field strength from a magnetic field condition applied to an energy meter by a magnetic sensor that measures a magnetic field in one or more directions, and using learning coefficients calculated from the magnetic field sample data and the average magnetic field strength, the minimum magnetic field strength, and the maximum magnetic field strength to classify with a classifier, magnet tampering conditions with respect to the energy meter. In a second phase, a magnet tamper event can be identified with respect to the energy meter when the magnet tampering condition classified by the classifier is greater than a magnetic detection threshold.
