December 9, 2017. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.Patent References D332416 D362198 Event-logging system Power loss compensation for programmable memory control system Process controller with power outage analysis capability Device for use with a utility meter for recording time of energy use System for use with a utility meter for recording time of energy use Electric utility meter with electronic register System for use with polyphase utility meters for recording time of energy use Multifunction register enclosure for energy meter InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 987677 filed on 12/09/1997US Classes:705/412, Utility usage340/870.02, With meter reading340/870.03, Having plural transmitters340/870.11Plural transmittersExaminersPrimary: Cosimano, Edward R.Assistant: Dixon, Harold A. Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG06F 017/00AbstractAn RF based communication system includes a transmitter for transmitting a signal. The transmitter is powered by an external power source and has a transmitter counter for generating a count. The count is linearly incremented over time. The transmitted signal includes the count at the time that the signal is transmitted. A receiver is communicatively coupled to the transmitter for receiving the signal transmitted by the transmitter. The receiver has a receiver counter, the receiver counter being asynchronous with respect to the transmitter counter.Other References
