Abstract:
1. A device for fluid regulation control, the device comprising: a processor, the processor adapted to generate a command for controlling a fluid regulator and to adjust a power condition of the device, the power condition having a low power mode and a high power mode, the device consuming substantially less power during the low power mode than during the high power mode; a fluid control assembly, the fluid control assembly comprising an electric-to-pressure transducer, the transducer adapted to receive a control fluid and adjust the control fluid in response to the command from the processor during the high power mode, the fluid control assembly operable to maintain the adjusted control fluid at a substantially constant value during the low power mode, wherein the adjusted control fluid is conveyed as a control signal to the fluid regulator, thereby adjusting a state of the fluid regulator; and a power source, the power source operable to supply power to the processor and the fluid control assembly.
