  • Telemetry system adaptation for non-telemetry equipped sensors
    Patent number: 8840147
    Abstract: A coupling adaptor. The coupling adaptor includes a body which extends from a first end to a second end. The body also has a hollow interior extending between the first end and the second end. The first end has a first port with screw threads. The first threaded port mates with and receives an electronic sensor. The second end has a second threaded port with screw threads. The second threaded port mates with and receives a telemetry system.

  • Method of replacing electrical components of a monitoring system
    Patent number: 8061021
    Abstract: The method of replacing the electrical components of a monitoring system. The method includes attaching a housing that contains a battery, sensor and other electronic components to a container. Next, a first lid that contains electronic components that are electrically connected to the sensor in the housing via an electronic cable is removed by detaching the electric cable from the electronic components of the lid. A second lid is then provided wherein the electric cable is electrically connected to the second lid at which point in time the second lid is secured to the housing to complete the replacement.
