Embodiment Construction

[0026] In the following discussion of non-limiting embodiments of the invention, spatial or directional terms such as "inner", "outer", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "vertical" and similar expressions refer to the invention shown in the drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the invention contemplates various alternative orientations, and thus such language should not be considered limiting. Additionally, all numbers expressing dimensions, physical characteristics, etc. used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified by "about" in all cases. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical values ​​set forth in the following specification and claims may vary depending upon the characteristics desired for practicing the invention. At the very least, and not to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the n...

Abstract

A water meter has a meter register having an encoder having electromagnetic wave emitters, e.g., infrared emitters to measure water flow and direction of water flow through the meter. The encoder has two of three spaced emitters directing infrared rays at predetermined time intervals toward a rotating detector wheel having a reflective surface portion and a non-reflective surface portion facing the emitters and an infrared sensor. The reflective surface portion of the detecting wheel reflects the infrared rays incident thereon toward the sensor. A microprocessor connected to the sensor acts on signals from the sensor to determine material flow. The meter register transmits the signal to a distant receiver. The microprocessor of a meter register has an algorithm to prevent the meter register from sending signals until after the meter register or a water meter having a meter register is installed and water moved through the meter.

Description

[0001] Cross-references to related applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 478,522, filed June 13, 2003, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 478,310, filed June 13, 2003, which are hereby joined. The entire content of this application is incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a meter recorder with an encoder, such as an optical encoder or an infrared encoder, for measuring material flow, such as water flow, flow direction, and an algorithm for selectively blocking the signal transmission of the meter recorder, Examples include preventing or blocking signal transmission while the meter logger is being transported, and allowing or unblocking transmission, such as after the meter logger has been installed in the home or the meter logger has detected a certain amount of water flow. Background technique [0004] One technique for determining utility consumption is to visually ...
