City Utilities is excited to announce MyWater, our latest program, which includes a new MyWater online customer portal and a city-wide meter replacement for all customers. MyWater is foundational to offering these new services. MyWater is a resource to help you better understand and manage your water use. You can access all your water information as soon as it becomes available, see how your use compares to similar sized homes in your neighborhood and get access to customized recommendations on how you can save water and money. MyWater, MyAss Bloomington seems to have a much better meter: Why did the City of Bloomington Utilities install Smart Water Meters? Roughly 30% of the City’s water meters were read with a radio; the other 70% were manually read. The previous meter reading program faced the following challenges: Did not allow for timely detection of water leaks. Leaks that go unnoticed can cause expensive water bills and/or property damage. Many of the meters were approaching the end of their useful life and needed to be replaced. Manually reading water meters was physically demanding on CBU employees and required a fleet of trucks on the roads daily. Smart water meters address all of these challenges. What are Smart Water Meters and how do they work? Smart Water Meters collect water use information just as a manually read meter does. The fundamental advantage is they read every hour and transmit those reads wirelessly every 4 hours to CBU via base stations. CBU employees no longer need to visit homes and businesses to manually record information every month. Why is there a plastic disk in my water meter lid? The smart meters transmit their data to the base stations using an antenna which looks like a black plastic disk sitting on top of the meter lid. The antenna is waterproof and durable enough for someone to step on. These antenna have been damaged by lawnmowers and other customer activities, so please do be careful when operating equipment around them.
The Great Seal In 1945, a group of Soviet children visited the US Embassy in Moscow and gave the Ambassador a hand-carved Great Seal of the US. It stayed in his office until 1952... when technicians discovered a remarkable listening device inside. This Great Seal replica (ca. 2000) is based on 1945 KGB creation. US technicians dubbed the Great Seal’s listening device “The Thing.” With no battery or circuits, how did it transmit? After two months, British Tech Ops finally figured it out. The Thing was a “passive cavity resonator,” activated by a radio beam from a van outside. When people spoke, sound waves entered through tiny holes under the eagle’s beak. These vibrated a membrane that modulated the radio beam, bouncing it back as an audio signal to the people listening in the van. The pics are a replica.
Designed by Leon Theremin, the same electrical engineer who designed the eponymous musical instrument used in every Sci-fi movie for decades. Electrical engineers are good people.
The ones I've met and dealt with were. I didn't remember Theremin designed that thing. (Edit) Haven't thought about laser mics for a long time either.
