    Abstract: An ultrasonic flow meter with transducers switchable between transmitting and receiving modes is disclosed. The receiving transducer is coupled more directly to the output of an operational amplifier of the receiver circuit than to the inputs thereof. A receiver circuit and a combined signal generator and receiver circuit are also disclosed, as well as a flow meter with an ultrasound measurement means based on measuring a power supply current to a receiving amplifier.

    Abstract: A battery-powered consumption meter is provided, which comprises a measurement means for measuring a value relating to an accumulated volume of a fluid flowing in a connected fluid pipe system to make up a consumption meter representation of the accumulated volume. The consumption meter further comprises a first communication means, which is a wireless two-way communication means arranged for transmitting the consumption meter representation from the consumption meter to an external device external to the consumption meter, and for receiving a communication therefrom. The consumption meter is arranged to transmit the consumption meter representation to the external device in response to a request therefor from the external device. The consumption meter comprises an internal clock, and registration means for registration, at the time of the communication from the external device, of the communication from the external device and the time of the consumption meter. The consumption meter comprises interpolation means for making up a consumption meter representation corresponding to the time of the communication from the external device from a set of values of the accumulated volume measured previously and subsequently, respectively, to the communication from the external device.
