An optimized, energy-sensitive system and method for fulfilling various data needs of gas utilities. In particular, the disclosure relates to optimized methods for discovering and reacting to an alarm. In one aspect, when an alarm is triggered a telemetry unit automatically alters its operating mode to begin transmitting live pressure reads every minute instead of every hour, as typically performed. This variance in operation eliminates the need for a user to monitor a pipeline system for an incoming alarm and manually request data by initiating a live communication session.

Devices, systems and methods for obtaining data representative of the condition of an air filter media of an air filter installed in a powered air-handling system, and for using such data to present an indication of the air filter media condition to a user. The devices, systems and methods use pressure information representative of at least a downstream pressure of the powered air-handling system.

A system monitors gas flow and pressure to a gas appliance in a fluid network comprising an analyzer. The analyzer has a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and an interior in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. At least one sensor is coupled to the analyzer and configured to generate at least one signal related to gas being supplied to the gas appliance. A smart device communicates with the analyzer, wherein the smart device has a user interface and is configured to monitor, store and display data. The smart device can present any or all of a plurality of parameters such as the flow of gas, a capacity of the flow of gas, a temperature, a pressure of the gas and the like to a user based on signals from sensors.

Disclosed is an apparatus for relieving pressure in a fluid transportation system. Further, the apparatus may include an actuator configured to be mounted onto the handle of the flow control member. Further, the apparatus may include a valve sensor configured to be attached to a pressure relieving valve. Further, the apparatus may include an image capturing device configured to capture an image of a pressure gauge. Further, the apparatus may include a processing device communicatively coupled to the actuator, the valve sensor and the image capturing device. Further, the apparatus may include a storage device communicatively coupled to the processing device. Further, the apparatus may include a wireless transceiver communicatively coupled to the processing device. Further, the apparatus may include a touchscreen display device communicatively coupled to the processing device.

A pressure transmitter is mounted to the sampling output of a sampling meter resetter. The pressure transmitter and the sampling meter resetter are mounted in a subterranean meter box. In embodiments, the pressure transmitter is removably mounted to a spring-loaded sampling valve.

Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment are provided. “Internet-of-Things” (IoT) functionality is provided for pool and spa equipment in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Network connectivity and remote monitoring/control of pool and spa equipment is provided by various components such as a network communication and local control subsystem installed in pool/spa equipment, and other components. Also disclosed are various control processes (“pool logic”) which can be embodied as software code installed in any of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.

A method and apparatus for monitoring vital signs, such as cardiopulmonary activity, using a ballistograph are provided. The method and apparatus may be used to monitor an infant sleeping in a crib, a patient in a hospital, a person with a chronic disease at home or in professional care, or a person in an elder-care setting.
