  • Methods and systems for meter reading and high speed data transfer
    Patent number: 8026830
    Abstract: A secure automatic meter reading (“AMR”) method and apparatus which utilizes a microprocessor and a bi-directional broadband connection to access the Internet and can form a wireless distribution network is provided. In addition to AMR, this connection and the network can provide high speed data transmission for other devices and services. As a result of the methods and apparatuses of the present inventions, legacy utility infrastructure and communications equipment can be integrated into a data transmission and collection network and remotely monitored without the costs associated with deploying service personnel or more costly equipment and services.

  • SECURITY MONITORING SYSTEM FOR A BULK FOODSTUFF TRANSPORT CONTAINER
    Publication number: 20110114721
    Abstract: A security monitoring system provides for the secure transport of cargo, such as in a bulk foodstuff transport container. The system includes an electromechanical locking mechanism allowing access by only authorized persons, a positional locator for determining the geographical position of the transport container, and a controller associated with the transport container. The controller controls operation of the electromechanical locking mechanism, stores data received from the electromechanical locking mechanism and the positional locator, and communicates with a remote data processor in near real time. A handheld user interface device is configured to control operation of the controller, to process and store data received from the controller, and to communicate with the remote data processor.
