With GE's global work in Smart Metering and Automatic Metering Infrastructures, OPOWER can help utilities secure buy-in from consumers and public utility commissions.
For example, photographic exposure meters and automatic switches for street lighting operate in the visible spectrum, so they are typically made of cadmium sulfide.
Most modern digital cameras have embedded on the fly enhancement mechanisms, such as an exposure meter, an automatic focus adjustment, and a white-balance adjustment.
Because pH readings are affected by temperature, buying a pH meter with automatic temperature compensation is helpful if you produce a large amount of food items that need to be tested and don't have the time to let the food cool to room temperature before testing.
Mr Hoffmann confirms this when he says: "If the market value of water is not charged to end users what incentive does Badger Meter have for developing automatic meter reading technology to measure real-time consumption demands, what incentive does ITT have for developing efficient water pumps, what incentive does IDE Technologies have for engineering integrated watershed management programmes?
The meter reader: According to wikipedia.com, automatic meter reading, or AMR, is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from water, gas and electric devices.
Many automatic meter reading, automatic metering infrastructure systems are being installed with ZigBee [3] or various proprietary solutions [4, 5].
Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been used in various smart grid applications, including remote power system monitoring and control, power fraud detection, wireless automatic metering, fault diagnostics, demand response, outage detection, overhead transmission line monitoring, load control, and distribution automation.
The flow network fosters automatic metering of well-defined volumes of solutions at will and delivery to the flow-through optrode.
The transition to automatic meters will save money, officials say, because meter readers will no longer have to go from yard to yard.
