摘要： Some embodiments relate to a vibration sensor. The vibration sensor comprises: a sensor base to couple to a vibration source; a piezoelectric transducer coupled on a first side of the transducer to the sensor base; at least one conductor coupled to the piezoelectric transducer; and a seismic weight positioned on a second side of the piezoelectric transducer; wherein the sensor base, the piezoelectric transducer and the seismic weight are aligned along an axis and arranged so that relative movement between the sensor base and the seismic weight arising from the vibration source causes a current to be generated in the piezoelectric transducer and an output signal corresponding to the generated current is detectable on the at least one conductor.

摘要： Some embodiments facilitate remote monitoring of an activity at one or more facilities by a vehicle. Data is received at a communications interface from a remote device that is co-located with the vehicle. The data includes a vehicle identifier and a vehicle location indicator. A zone data record is accessed. The zone data record includes a plurality of zones, each zone having a virtual geographical boundary associated with a physical geographical area including at least one facility. It is determined that the vehicle is located within a zone of the zone data record for a preconfigured period of time based on the vehicle location indicator and the zone data record. Responsive to determining that the vehicle is located within the zone for the preconfigured period, performance of the activity at the one or more facilities by the vehicle is determined.

摘要： A hot water unit fluid supply control system comprises a switching device coupled to a hot water unit, a rainwater tank and a potable water source. The switching device is configured to selectively switch between a first state, which allows fluid communication between the hot water unit and the rainwater tank, and a second state, which allows fluid communication between the hot water unit and the potable water source. The hot water unit fluid supply control system comprises a control unit configured to: receive fluid characteristic information associated with fluid in the hot water unit from one or more sensors; activate or deactivate a pump of the rainwater tank based on a comparison of a fluid characteristic parameter of the fluid characteristic information with requirements of the hot water unit to thereby cause the switching device to assume the first or second state.

摘要： A pressure sewer control system includes a server in communication with one or more pressure sewer installations across a communications network, each of the one or more pressure sewer installations including a controller and one or more sewerage tanks. The server is configured to: determine weather data for a region associated with the pressure sewer installation; estimate power generating capability of a weather-dependent power generator based on the weather data; receive fluid level data indicative of a fluid level in the one or more sewerage tanks from the controller; determine whether a pump action should be instigated by the controller to pump fluid from the sewage tank based on the estimated power generating capability of the weather-dependent power generator and the fluid level data; and transmit a pump control instruction to the controller.

摘要： Embodiments relate generally to a management system for controlling operations of a reservoir. The management system comprises a wireless transceiver in communication with a controller associated with the reservoir to allow the management system to communicate with the controller over a communications network. The management system further comprises a processor for determining weather data for a particular region, wherein the reservoir is associated with the region, determining operation instructions based on at least the weather data; and transmitting via the wireless transceiver a command signal to the controller, wherein the command signal includes operation instructions for activating a flow control mechanism associated with the reservoir.

摘要： Embodiments relate generally to a pump control system for a pressure sewer installation. The system comprises a controller arranged to control supply of power to a pump of the pressure sewer installation. The controller is arranged to receive an output signal from a sensor in a fluid reservoir of the pressure sewer installation, the output signal being indicative of a measured fluid level in the fluid reservoir. A memory is accessible to the controller and is arranged to store operation information pertaining to operation of the pressure sewer installation. A wireless transceiver is in communication with the controller to allow the controller to communicate with a remote server over a communications network.
