Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for detecting and determining conditions of and conditions within a fluid conduit.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a plurality of detection devices, each detection device connected to a fluid conduit and having:
- a housing that at least partially defines an inside of the housing,
- an accelerometer connected to the housing,
- an acoustic sensor, and
- a controller with a communications unit, one or more processors, and one or more memories that store instructions configured to cause the processor to:
- receive accelerometer data and acoustic data,
- determine whether the accelerometer data has exceeded a first threshold and/or exhibits a first characteristic indicative of an event,
- determine whether the acoustic data has exceeded a second threshold and/or exhibits a second characteristic indicative of the event,
- cause, in response to one or both of the determinations, the acoustic sensor to gather additional acoustic data and the accelerometer to gather additional accelerometer data, and
- analyze the accelerometer data, the acoustic data, the additional acoustic data, and the additional accelerometer data, to determine the event, and
- transmit the accelerometer data, the acoustic data, the additional acoustic data, and the additional accelerometer data to a remote computing unit;
- and
- a remote computing unit having a second communications unit, one or more second processors, and one or more second memories that store instructions configured to cause the one or more second processors to:
- receive the accelerometer data, the acoustic data, the additional acoustic data, and the additional accelerometer data from the plurality of detection devices, and
- transmit information relating to the accelerometer data, the acoustic data, the additional acoustic data, the additional accelerometer data, the event, or a combination thereof to a second remote computing unit.

A system comprising:
- a plurality of detection devices, each detection device connected to a fluid conduit and having:
- a housing that at least partially defines an inside of the housing,
- two or more sensors, wherein the two or more sensors include an accelerometer, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor, and
- a controller with a communications unit, one or more processors, and one or more memories that store instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:
- receive data from the accelerometer, the pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor,
- analyze the data from the accelerometer, the pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor to determine an event, and
- transmit data from the two or more sensors to a remote computing unit;
- and
- a remote computing unit having a second communications unit, one or more second processors, and one or more second memories that store instructions configured to cause the one or more second processors to:
- receive the data from the accelerometer, the pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor from the plurality of detection devices,
- transmit information relating to the accelerometer, the pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor, the event, or a combination thereof to a second remote computing unit.
