Abstract: A scanning system for producing a path averaged concentration map of a leaking plume is provided. The system includes a tunable light source capable of tuning its wavelength over the absorption band of the specimen of interest, a lightweight mirror to scan the light, a lightweight collection optic, an array of detectors to measure reflected light, one or more processors configured to align the scanning with the detected signal and analyze the signal to produce a path averaged concentration map of the leaking plume, the one or more processors configured to use an analytical model of plume dynamics to compare the detected concentration map and calculate leak location and rate, and a flying platform that can fly in a control flight path.

Abstract: A gas analysis system includes spectroscopy assembly coupled to a vehicle. The spectroscopy assembly includes a plurality of emitters configured to emit a plurality of light beams toward a target surface. Each light beam of the plurality of light beams comprises a predetermined wavelength. The spectroscopy assembly includes a collection optic configured to receive a plurality of reflected light beams reflected from the target surface. Additionally, the spectroscopy assembly includes a detector configured to receive the plurality of reflected light beams from the collection optic and to detect a spectral intensity of the plurality of reflected light beams. Further, the spectroscopy assembly includes a controller configured to receive a light beam signal from the detector indicative of the spectral intensity of the plurality of reflected light beams. The controller is configured to detect a target fluid based on the light beam signal.

Abstract: A sensor system for a sub-sea oil and gas well includes a casing, a transmit coil, a receive coil, and a processor. The casing defines an interior space through which a drilling pipe string transits. The transmit coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to conduct a current pulse and induce an electromagnetic field within the interior space. The electromagnetic field corresponds with the current pulse and interacts with the drilling pipe string. The receive coil is coupled to the casing and is configured to detect the electromagnetic field, including perturbations of the electromagnetic field due to the drilling pipe string's interaction therewith. The processor is coupled to the transmit coil and the receive coil. The processor is configured to compute a diameter of the drilling pipe string based on the current pulse and the electromagnetic field detected by the receive coil.

Abstract: A system for determination of presence of flames is provided. The system includes a photosensitive transducer configured to generate a response signal that is a function of electromagnetic radiation from a flame source. The system also includes a signal processing unit that includes a modulation unit and a demodulation unit. The modulation unit is configured to generate a modulated response signal by modulating the response signal with a modulation signal of frequency higher than that of an unwanted signal present the response signal. The demodulation unit is configured to determine an output signal by demodulating the modulated response signal. The demodulation unit eliminates the unwanted signal from the modulated response signal during the determination of the output signal. Further, the system also includes a processing unit configured to process the output signal to determine flame presence based on the intensity of the incident radiation from the flame.
