Automatic revolution counting and data transmission device

摘要

An automatic partial revolution detection, counting, and data transmission device for detecting partial revolutions of all or a portion of a container to which the device is attached. An embodiment of the invention for detecting the partial rotation and dumping of a container to which the device is attached uses a housing, printed circuit board with all electronic circuitry for sensing rotation, data storage, and two-way data communication. A low power radio frequency transmitter and receiver are used to receive commands and to transfer stored data to a receiving unit which may be a portable battery-powered unit or a fixed mount unit.
