Abstract: A leak detection sensor may be capable of dynamically adjusting a sampling time for acoustic data based on monitored fluid flow. The leak detection sensor monitors leak detection information associated with a fluid in a fluid transporting medium over a predetermined time interval, where the leak detection information comprises flow and pressure of the fluid in the fluid transporting medium, and processing the leak detection data monitored at the sampling time in the predetermined time interval, where the sampling time is determined based at least in part on the monitored flow of the fluid.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to conserve battery of an endpoint device. Example techniques include adjusting the size of messages transmitted by an endpoint device and/or adjusting the transmission rate of an endpoint device. In some configurations, the one or more criteria are used by an endpoint device to determine what data fields to include within a message and/or adjust a transmission rate associated with the transmission of messages by the endpoint device. For instance, the one or more criteria may include the battery level of the device, the time of year, whether the data has already been transmitted by the endpoint device, whether the data has been acknowledged as received by another device, whether the endpoint device has been instructed by another device to reduce the message size and/or adjust the transmission rate, and the like.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting a high gas pressure situation within a gas delivery system (e.g., for natural gas delivery to homes and businesses) are described. In one example, a device measures gas pressure. If a pressure over a threshold value is detected, a nearby device is messaged. The nearby device either confirms the over-pressure condition or indicates it may be more localized. If the condition is present within an area of the gas delivery system and/or within a group of devices within the gas delivery system, protective measures may be taken, such as closing valves providing gas to a number of service sites.

Abstract: A data collection device and method for determining a backflow condition in a water distribution system. The data collection device receives a first data communication from a first node, the first data communication indicating a first possible backflow condition at the first node. The data collection device receives additional data communications from one or more second nodes, the additional data communications indicating backflow conditions at the second nodes. The data collection device aggregates and analyzes the first data value and the additional data values and determines that an actual backflow condition exists based on the aggregated data values and a known relationship between the first node and the second nodes. The data collection device may then perform action(s) in response to determining the backflow condition, such as reporting the backflow condition, requesting updated reporting from the nodes, closing appropriate valves, initiating pumps to increase water pressure, flushing the system, etc.

Abstract: A power line configuration or topology may be determined by identifying metering nodes that have time-stamped voltage values that correlate with voltage values measured at a transformer or other metering nodes at substantially the same time. A correlation between the time-stamped voltage values may be calculated by, in some examples, comparing a difference of a first time-stamped voltage value of a meter and a second time-stamped voltage value of a transformer or the second metering node to a predetermined threshold. If the difference is below the threshold, the metering node may be determined to be connected to the transformer or second metering node by a power distribution line.
Abstract translation: 电力线配置或拓扑可以通过识别具有时间戳的电压值的计量节点来确定，所述时间戳电压值与在变压器或其他计量节点处基本相同的时间测量的电压值相关。 时间戳电压值之间的相关性可以通过在一些示例中将电表的第一时间戳电压值与变压器或第二计量节点的第二时间戳电压值的差进行比较来计算 预定阈值。 如果差值低于阈值，则计量节点可以被确定为通过配电线连接到变压器或第二计量节点。

Abstract: Techniques for adjusting light direction and light intensity from streetlights in an environment. For example, a streetlight may include an adjustable light source that can be configured to cast light based on its specific installation environment, taking into account height (e.g., a height of a pole coupled with the streetlight relative to a surface of the environment), an angle in which the streetlight is coupled to the pole, a type of surface being lit (e.g., blacktop, concrete, grass, etc.), an amount of light present from surrounding fixtures (e.g., streetlights), and/or an intended area to illuminate (light only streets and sidewalks, light only parking lot, light only walking paths, etc.).

Abstract: Techniques for managing pedestrian and vehicular congestion are described herein. In an example, a congestion event at a location is identified. The congestion event may be a sporting event, entertainment event, road construction event, etc. A primary route to or from the congestion event is identified. In examples, a primary route conveys traffic to the location, and may be associated with commencement of the event. Alternatively or subsequently, a primary route conveys traffic away from the location, and may be associated with a conclusion of the event. A secondary route that could lessen traffic of the primary route is identified. In a first example, durations of vehicle traffic lights and pedestrian walk/don't walk signs are adjusted to encourage and to increase usage of the secondary route. In a second example, the secondary route is promoted by updating digital signage to send traffic on the secondary route.
