Abstract: Some embodiments include a metering system including a base housing configured to be coupled to a supply of a consumable, and including a plurality of meter slots, wherein each meter slot is configured to couple with a removeable meter module. Further, the metering system includes a removeable cover housing configured to removably couple to the base housing, and a meter module that includes at least one meter core and at least one data transfer functionality or assembly. The meter module can independently meter at least a portion of the consumable consumed by at least one consumer. A metering assembly with a removeable meter module and an associated meter slot can independently meter at least a portion of a consumable consumed by at least one consumer, and metering of the consumable to a consumer from one meter slot is independent of metering of the consumable from another meter slot.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a resource metering system and method including one or more sensors, and an automatic shut-off valve, a power source, a capacitor-based charging circuit, an RF communications board, and a processor capable of executing instructions from a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of a resource distribution system. The operation of the processor by the instructions can enable the resource metering system to wirelessly receive and act on signals or data transmitted from the RF communication board, where the signals or data are received from the sensors.
