International Classification:

G05D 3/12
G06F 13/42
H02J 7/00
H04H 40/00

US Classification:

700286, 340825, 320109, 455 306

Abstract:

A metering system for measuring the electrical power used to charge a vehicle is provided. The metering system includes an electrical meter operably coupled to a conductor connected to the vehicle and an electrical outlet. A controller receives signals from the meter to record the measured electrical consumption. The controller includes a plurality of communications devices for communicating with different communications carriers. In one embodiment, the controller selects one of the communications devices based on availability and a desired criterion. The selected communications device then transmits the measured electrical power consumption to a utility provider. In one embodiment, the metering system is mobile.

Filed:

Mar 26, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/732533

Inventors:

Charles Feldman - Flushing NY, US
Costas Magoulas - Jefferson Station NY, US

Lawrence Nardo - Brooklyn NY, US

Assignee:

Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

H01R 33/945

US Classification:

439517, 439146

Abstract:

A meter disconnect adapter is provided that allows a utility meter to be connected to a meter socket while electrical service is disconnected to a facility. The meter disconnect adapter includes housing having an interior area. A plurality of terminals are coupled to the housing. Each terminal includes a stab portion and a jaw portion. The stab portion is sized to provide less than rated current flow to the utility meter. The jaw portion is sized to facilitate the coupling of the meter to the adapter. Use of this adapter enables the terminals to transfer only enough current to power the electrical meter whereby the utility may monitor and verify that no electrical power is being consumed.

Appl. No.:

12/783152

Inventors:

Charles Feldman - Flushing NY, US
Chi Yao Chen - Sunnyside NY, US

Assignee:

Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

G08C 19/38

US Classification:

3408703, 3408702

Abstract:

A device and method of counting pulse or switch contact signals over time from any commodity in various applications such as manufacturing and process control is provided. The device includes a pulse splitter relay that generates a first output pulse signal and a second pulse output signal. The first output pulse signal is transmitted to a recorder that receives the pulse signal and stores data such as date and time information when the pulse signal was received. The second output pulse signal is transmitted to a downstream system, such as a building management system for example. The data from the recorder and the downstream system may be compared to verify the pulse signals and identify potential sources for error.

Abstract:

A device and method for determining communications parameters such as signal strength is provided. The device includes a plurality of meters, each having an associated transceiver configured to receive a different communications protocol. Communications signals are received by a communications module and transmitted to the plurality of meters. The plurality of meters provide an indication of a signal parameter, such as signal strength for example, to allow the operator to decide which communications protocol the end device should use.
