Abstract: I am pleased to introduce a low cost fully integrated self contained energy meter that provides all interested parties real time information of gas measurement details over wide area networks like the Internet through open system protocols across wireless communications systems. The device not only detects pressure, temperature and flow to calculate volume but at the same time provides detection of specific gravity, percentage of inert gas and BTU. These measurements are generated from a single in-line solid-state primary sensor connected to ultra low-power micro-miniature electronics. Accuracy is better than plus or minus one therm. There are no moving parts. The system provides not only the measurement components for determining therms but can be programmed to use artificial intelligence for incorporating real time dynamic rate structures based upon time of use demand experience. Control and alarm intelligence is available through infinitely variable outputs. The power supply lasts for twenty-five years and may be thrown in the trash without harming the environment. The system is suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres, requires no recalibration and one size fits all pipe diameters. The price is less than 100. Availability of this new device is the year 2010.
