Patent number: 7269522Abstract: Apparatus and methodology ensure reliable electricity meter data recordation and maintenance during ongoing operation and any power failure. During normal operations, data committed to memory is immediately read to determine write success. Upon detection of any power failure while monitoring operating power, a reset procedure is entered that ensures provision of reliable initialization data upon restart of the metering operation. Power failure detection may be based on decreases in a voltage associated with the meter metrology board or of a storage capacitor, while clearance for normal mode (i.e., after a power failure) depends on both such voltages passing testing for minimum values. Such combined approach provides a hysteresis effect, for less sensitivity to noise and some adverse AC line conditions. So-called dynamic data (energy flow and amount) is collected for storage by monitoring an interface between the metrology components of the meter and a meter register.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: Itron, Inc.Inventors: Mike Peters, Jerome Bartier

Patent number: 7243067Abstract: In a method and apparatus for wireless transmission of messages between a vehicle-internal communication system and a vehicle-external central computer, the vehicle-internal communication system has acoustic output unit for the playback of a received message. In the vehicle-external central computer, the message, which is at first present in text form and is to be sent to the vehicle-internal communication system, is transformed into a phonetic transcription; the phonetic transcription, is then transmitted to the vehicle-internal communication system. In the vehicle internal communication system, the phonetic transcription is transformed to speech and is emitted via the acoustic output unit. Spoken messages from a vehicle occupant are recorded via an acoustic input unit, processed and transmitted to the central computer by reversal of the same process.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2000Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ulrich Weinmann, Mike Peters
