    摘要: A water meter resetter incorporates as a principal component a plastic body having six fittings lying in a common plane. A primary inlet and primary outlet are coaxially aligned on first and second opposed walls. A secondary outlet and secondary inlet are coaxially aligned on the opposed walls. In use, a first horn is rotatably attached to the secondary outlet, and a second horn is rotatable attached to the secondary inlet. A water meter is attached between the horns. Because the horns are rotatable about a common axis at each of their ends, the meter can be offset from the supply pipes at continuously variable heights. In an embodiment, the secondary inlet and outlet are internal, and the horns are held in a fluid-tight slip joint formed by internal O-rings. The height of the meter may optionally be locked by the use of an angle holder.

    摘要: One embodiment describes a utility metering system that includes metering infrastructure that facilitates data communication within the utility metering system in accordance with an expected metering platform, and a utility meter communicatively coupled to the metering infrastructure. The utility meter operates in a native mode when a native metering platform is compatible with the expected metering platform, in which the utility meter operates in a first manner in accordance with the native metering platform. The utility meter operates in an emulation mode when the native metering platform is not compatible with the expected metering platform and an emulation metering platform is compatible with the expected metering platform, in which the utility meter operates in a second manner in accordance with the emulation metering.

    摘要: A new and unique granular material-saving auger pan/hopper splash shield and safety guard is presented, being made of rigid, flexible, transparent or partially transparent material. The invention fits over the top of an auger pan/hopper, secured by a lower perimeter sleeve containing strap material and a locking or other securing device, and an upper perimeter sleeve containing elastic material and grommets where bungy cords (not part of the invention) can be hooked through and attached to the granular material source outlet. The auger pan/hopper splash shield and safety guard provides a containment shield to eliminate granular material spillage as well as preventing granular material loss due to moisture, outside contaminants, and damage. This invention may also be used as a safety device to prevent possible injury from the turning auger or conveyor belt and from flying granular materials.
