摘要： A method for operating a fluid flow system (300) is provided. The fluid flow system (300) includes a fluid flowing through a pipeline (301), a first pressure sensor (303) located within the pipeline (301), and a vibrating meter (5). The vibrating meter (5) includes a sensor assembly (10) in fluid communication with the first pressure sensor (303). The method includes steps of measuring a pressure of the fluid within the pipeline (301) using the first pressure sensor (303) and measuring one or more flow characteristics of the fluid using the vibrating meter (5). The method further includes a step of determining a static pressure of the fluid based on the pressure of the fluid within the pipeline (301) and the one or more flow characteristics. The method further includes a step of determining if the fluid contains at least some gas based on the static pressure of the fluid.

摘要： An opto-isolation circuit (300) is provided, including an optocoupler (303) configured to optically transfer a raw output signal, a conversion circuit (317) coupled to an optocoupler output and configured to convert the raw output signal into a predetermined converted signal, and a control circuit (306) coupled to the optocoupler output. The control circuit (306) is configured to generate an autonomous control signal from the raw output signal after the raw output signal passes through the optocoupler (303), wherein the autonomous control signal is generated only if the raw output signal exceeds a predetermined conversion threshold, and control the conversion circuit (317) and convert the raw output signal into the predetermined converted signal if the autonomous control signal is generated by the control circuit (306) and output the raw output signal to an output port if the autonomous control signal is not generated by the control circuit (306).

摘要： A method for validating a sensor assembly of a meter is provided. The method comprises a step of receiving one or more sensor calibration values. The method further comprises a step of comparing the received sensor calibration values to one or more known sensor calibration values. The method can then validate the sensor assembly if the one or more received sensor calibration values are within a predetermined tolerance of the one or more known sensor calibration values.

摘要： A method for detecting a deviation in a flow meter parameter of a flow meter that is adapted to measure a fluid flow rate is provided. The method comprises measuring a differential pressure across at least a portion of the flow meter. The method further comprises comparing the measured differential pressure to an expected differential pressure; the expected differential pressure being based on the measured flow rate. The method further comprises detecting a deviation in the flow meter parameter if the difference between the measured differential pressure and the expected differential pressure exceeds a threshold limit.

摘要： A data translation system (100) for performing a non-linear data translation on a digitized AC signal is provided. The non-linear data translation system (100) includes an input for receiving the digitized AC signal, an output for outputting a non-linearly translated signal, and a processing system (104) coupled to the input and to the output. The processing system (104) is configured to receive the digitized AC signal, non-linearly translate the digitized AC signal using a predetermined transfer function to create the non-linearly translated signal, and transfer the non-linearly translated signal to the output.

摘要： A delta-sigma modulator (100) including a dithering capability for eliminating idle tones is provided according to the invention. The delta-sigma modulator (100) includes a bitstream converter (107) configured to generate a digital signal output substantially corresponding to an analog signal input, a periodicity detector (111) coupled to the bitstream converter (107) and configured to detect periodicity in the digital signal output, and a dithering sequence generator (116) connected to and activated by the periodicity detector (111). The dithering sequence generator (116) generates a dithering sequence. The delta-sigma modulator (100) further includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator (119) coupled to the dithering sequence generator (116) and receiving the dithering sequence. The PWM generator (119) modulates the dithering sequence onto the analog signal input of the delta-sigma modulator (100) as a dithering signal.
