Abstract
A system may include a flow sensor and a base. The flow sensor may be configured to connect to the base. The flow sensor may include a flow tube including a fluid inlet at a first end of the flow tube, a fluid outlet at a second end of the flow tube opposite the first end of the flow tube, and a fluid injection port between the first end and the second end of the flow tube. The base may include a short range wireless communication device including a curved coil antenna.
Claims25
A system comprising:
- a flow sensor including:
- a flow tube including a fluid inlet at a first end of the flow tube, a fluid outlet at a second end of the flow tube opposite the first end of the flow tube, a fluid injection port between the first end and the second end of the flow tube, wherein the fluid injection port extends from the flow tube in a first direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the fluid injection port;
- and
- a base configured to connect to the flow sensor, wherein the base includes:
- a short range wireless communication device including a curved coil antenna, wherein the curved coil antenna is radially curved with respect to the longitudinal axis of the fluid injection port when the flow sensor is connected to the base, and wherein the curved coil antenna has a partial cylinder shape.
