Abstract: According to some embodiments, a signal processing unit may receive distributed acoustic sensing data associated with a first set of a plurality of pipeline locations. The signal processing unit may also receive collected physical data representing a physical characteristic of a second set of a plurality of pipeline locations. The signal processing unit may then utilize a pipeline model having the distributed acoustic sensing data and collected physical data as inputs to automatically generate at least one alert indicating an increased probability of damage to the pipeline.

Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring strain in a substrate using a strain sensor element within a fiber optic sensing cable. Accurate and rapid measurement of strain of remote substrates presents major technical challenges and is the focus of much of the description presented. However, systems, methods and devices provided by the present invention are not only capable of reliably measuring strain in real time, but are also capable of measuring other characteristics of a substrate such as its temperature, pressure and its acoustic characteristics. The system is configured such that a strain sensor element within a strain sensing zone detects substantially the true strain characteristics of the substrate. And while other sensing elements within the same fiber optic sensing cable may not be configured to detect substrate strain at all, these sensing elements may reliably measure the temperature and pressure at the surface of the substrate adjacent to the strain sensing zone.

Abstract: A sensing and data acquisition system may provide a sensing assembly including a signal conditioner to receive an electrical signal from a sensor affixed onto an asset and supply an encoded digital representation of a sensed parameter. An acoustic modem may be connected to the signal conditioner to receive the encoded digital representation of the sensed parameter and transmit an acoustic signal based on the encoded digital representation of the sensed parameter. A data acquisition line may be proximate to the asset and may be non-contactively coupled to the sensing assembly. The data acquisition line may include an optical fiber acoustically coupled to the acoustic modem and responsive to the encoded digital representation of the sensed parameter transmitted by the modem to effect an optical change in an acoustically-responsive portion of the fiber. The optical change may be measurable to detect the encoded digital representation of the sensed asset parameter.
