  • Patent number: 11125783
    Abstract: A Rogowski coil in a sensor unit has voltage induced by a conductor surrounded by the Rogowski coil. The voltage is integrated to represent current which is converted to digital data representing current in the conductor and sent wirelessly to a multimeter. The sensor unit may receive control signals from the multimeter and a remote control apparatus. A plurality of sensor units may be networked and controlled by the remote control apparatus.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10283921
    Abstract: Generally described, embodiments are directed to an adapter for use with one or more connectors for coupling to an electronic device. The adapter receives the one or more separate connectors to form a connector assembly that is configured to be inserted into one or more sockets of an electronic device, such as an energy logger device. In at least one embodiment, the adapter includes one or more sealing rings that improve the sealing between the respective one or more connectors and one or more sockets to improve the integrity of the electrical coupling therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20050081497
    Abstract: A filter includes a filter element mounted to a base and having first and second end caps spaced axially along an axis. Fluid to be filtered flows laterally through the filter element and axially through a hollow interior and through an axial flow opening of the second end cap. The filter element is mounted to the base solely by the second end cap independently of the first end cap, eliminating the need for a third component traditionally needed for mounting a housing cover to the base and enclosing and/or sealing and/or retaining the filter element in the housing.
