  • Patent number: 11287311
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a vibration sensor. The vibration sensor comprises: a sensor base to couple to a vibration source; a piezoelectric transducer coupled on a first side of the transducer to the sensor base; at least one conductor coupled to the piezoelectric transducer; and a seismic weight positioned on a second side of the piezoelectric transducer; wherein the sensor base, the piezoelectric transducer and the seismic weight are aligned along an axis and arranged so that relative movement between the sensor base and the seismic weight arising from the vibration source causes a current to be generated in the piezoelectric transducer and an output signal corresponding to the generated current is detectable on the at least one conductor.

  • Publication number: 20210123541
    Abstract: A valve key for operating a fluid control valve between states, the valve key comprising a body having a key portion configured for operating a correspondingly keyed part of the fluid control valve; a telemetry system and comprising sensors configured to output parameters relating to an orientation and a rotational movement of the body; a location-positioning module configured to receive data from GPS; a communications module for transmitting data; and a controller configured to determine one or more of for the key: an orientation between substantially vertical or horizontal positions, a number of rotations and geographical coordinates, wherein the controller is configured such that the telemetry system is set to a low-power state, and set to an operating state, in which the telemetry system modules and the controller are configured to record the number of rotations, when the body is oriented in substantially vertical or horizontal positions.
