Abstract: A beverage dispensing kiosk that contains empty beverage containers and fills them with water and other beverages. The beverage containers comply with applicable regulations and standards to be designated “compostable.” The kiosk uses municipal water as the base, purifies the water, and adds constituents to meet the taste of the ultimate consumer. The delivered beverage may be commonly known as bottled water or as a soft drink, such as a cola beverage.

Abstract: Different adapters and applications may publish information on the messaging bus and retrieve information from the bus simultaneously in a manner that does not cause interference or problems in the publication or retrieval. Meter data is cleaned, validated and estimated by separate applications using the above-described application and retrieval processes via the message bus for flexible and efficient processing.

Abstract: A system for use with polyphase electric meters having a rotatable disc for recording time of energy use. The system includes a cover, a sensor means, a first module, and a second module. The sensor means detects rotation of the meter disc. The first module is disposed within the confines of the meter cover and includes means for providing power for operation of the system. The second module is releasably mounted to the cover such that disassembly may be accomplished without the use of tools. The second module includes circuit means for determining time of energy use information and storing the same, and for optically transmitting that information to a location external of the meter.

Abstract: A system for use with standard electric meters having a rotatable disc for recording time of energy use. The system includes a housing securable within a meter below the disc. The system also includes sensor means within the housing for detecting rotation of the disc and generating a signal in response thereto. Circuit means are included within the housing to process and store the signal for calculating time of energy use information. The housing also includes a communication circuit means for transmitting the time of energy use information to a location external of the meter.

Abstract: A device for recording time of energy use for use with standard electric meters having a rotatable disc. The device includes a housing securable within a meter below the disc. A series of mounting holes are formed in the housing for mounting the device within the meter. The holes are arranged such that the device may be mounted within any standard electric meter.
