摘要:
Described is a system (100) for controlling a flow (F) comprises a control and measurement unit (1) comprising a duct (2) for passage of the flow (F) and a flow rate measuring device (3) equipped with a measurement sensor (4) configured to generate information (I) signifying the flow (F); the control and measurement unit (1) comprises an electronic card (5) in communication with the flow rate measuring device (3), a transceiver unit (6) in communication with or integrated in the electronic card (5) and a power supply unit (8) of the electronic card (5); the power supply unit (8) comprises an electricity generator (9) comprising an impeller (10) inserted in the duct (2) for being actuated by the flow (F), at least one magnet supported by the impeller (10) and an inductor (11) coupled to the impeller (4) outside the duct; the electricity generator (9) recovers energy from the flow (F) by means of the impeller (10) and the power supply unit (8) comprises an accumulator (12) in communication with the electricity generator (9) for storing at least a part of the energy recovered from the flow (F).
摘要:
A flow meter system and method are provided for monitoring gas flow in a conduit. The flow meter system includes a plurality of components including: a sensor for sensing a flow rate of the gas flow; a communication device for transmitting information corresponding to the sensed flow rate to a remote device; an energy harvesting device for producing electrical energy from the gas flow to power operation of the communication device or other component of the flow meter system; and an energy storage device for storing electrical energy generated by the energy harvesting device.
摘要:
An apparatus for measuring at least one measure related to urination of an individual such as urine flow rate and/or urine quantity. The apparatus is configured to produce acoustic and/or electromagnetic signals indicative of the at least one urination measure upon having urine applied thereover. The invention also provides systems and methods that detect the acoustic and/or electromagnetic signals originating from the apparatus being used by the individual and analyze the detected signals to calculate the at least one measure therefrom by using a designated application module operable via an end device using acoustic sensing means or data receiving means of the end device for detecting the acoustic and/or electromagnetic signals.
