摘要： A sewer inspection and/or maintenance system is provided comprising an inspection and/or maintenance unit and a control and/or display unit, wherein the control and/or display unit is coupled operatively to the inspection and/or maintenance unit via a twisted-pair cable comprising copper. The inspection and/or maintenance unit comprises an imaging unit, which is coupled operatively to a processing unit comprising a digital signal processor (DSP) or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) of the inspection and/or maintenance unit. The processing unit is coupled operatively to the twisted pair cable, and the processing unit is adapted to digitalize and to compress the image data received from the imaging unit to prepare the digitalized and compressed image data for a transmission according to the BroadR-Reach standard, and to transmit the prepared image data according to the BroadR-Reach standard via the twisted pair cable to the control and/or display unit.

摘要： A pipe pig is provided with linked wheels, and at least a central wheel of the linked wheels is pivotally linked to adjacent wheels through a spring loaded connection that biases the central wheel out of straight line alignment with the adjacent wheels. The pipe pig may be used to negotiate tight bends in a pipe and carry sensing electronics.

摘要： A pipeline inspection device including a cable having a camera disposed on a distal end of the cable, where the camera and the cable are configured to be directed into a conduit. A first drum includes a rear wall, a front wall, and a side wall defining an interior, where the front wall has an opening providing access to the interior, and where the cable is disposed at least partially within the first drum. A stand supports the first drum, where the first drum is rotatably coupled to the stand. A hub houses electrical components of the pipeline inspection device. The hub is removably received in the interior of the first drum via the opening, where the hub is selectively removable from the first drum and insertable into an interior of a second drum.
