Assignee: ITRON, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A network device, comprising:
a processor;
a metrology device configured to measure utility consumption and to thereby produce metrology data;
one or more memory devices in communication with the processor;
applications defined in the one or more memory devices and executed by the processor, and wherein the applications comprise:
a peak detector application, configured to receive the metrology data from the metrology device as input, and configured to create data comprising:
a timestamped peak-values data-signal; and
a peak-removed data-signal;

a median filter application, configured to receive the peak-removed data-signal, and configured to create a median-filtered data-signal; and
a level-shift detector application, configured to receive the median-filtered data-signal, and configured to create a timestamped level-shift data-signal; and

a connection to a network, wherein the processor is configured to cause transmission of the timestamped peak-values data-signal and the timestamped level-shift data-signal over the connection to the network to a server.
