Publication number: 20230088861Abstract: A wireless sensor assembly incudes a housing, a wireless power source, a wireless communication component, and firmware. The housing defines a first aperture for receiving an external sensor and a second aperture defining a communication port configured to receive a wire harness. The wireless communications component and the firmware are powered by the wireless power source. The wireless communications component is configured to be in electrical communication with the external sensor and transmit data from the external sensor to an external device. The firmware is configured to manage a rate of data transmittal from the wireless communications component to the external device. The wireless power source, the wireless communications component, and the firmware are mounted within the same housing. The data from the external sensor is transmitted from the external sensor wirelessly through the wireless communications component or through the wire harness to the external device for processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Watlow Electric Manufacturing CompanyInventors: James B. PHILLIPS, Don RECUPIDO, Nathan FROST, Randy Scott BROWN

Patent number: 11350187Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a power source configured to store and output electrical power, a wireless communication component, a sensor, and a microprocessor electrically coupled to the power source, the wireless communication component, and the sensor. The microprocessor is configured to receive a startup command. In response to receiving the startup command, the microprocessor is configured to determine whether an amount of electrical power stored by the power source is sufficient to complete the startup command, receive the electrical power output by the power source during a first time period in response to the amount of power being sufficient to complete the startup command, and receive the electrical power output by the power source during a second time period in response to the amount of power being insufficient to complete the startup command, where the second time period is greater than the first time period.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Watlow Electric Manufacturing CompanyInventors: James Phillips, Don Recupido, Nathan Frost, Randy Scott Brown

Patent number: 10743088Abstract: A wireless sensor assembly includes a housing, a wireless power source, and electronics. The housing defines an interior space and at least one aperture sized to receive at least one external sensor. The wireless power source is mounted within the housing. The electronics are mounted within the housing and are configured to receive power from the wireless power source and to be in electrical communication with the external sensor. The electronics include a wireless communications component, and firmware configured to manage a rate of data transmittal from the wireless communications component to an external device such that the wireless communications component has a power consumption less than about 0.5 mW. The electronics are powered exclusively by the wireless power source and the wireless sensor assembly defines a volume less than about 2 in3.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Watlow Electric Manufacturing CompanyInventors: James Phillips, Don Recupido, Nathan Frost, Randy Scott Brown
