    Abstract: A water leak sensing system includes: a plurality of sensor terminals including a sensor installed in a pipeline of a water supply network; and a computer that senses a water leak from the pipeline based on detection signal data of the plurality of sensors of the plurality of sensor terminals, and outputs a result. The pipeline is either a first pipeline not covered by a pipe covering member (PE sleeve) or a second pipeline covered by the pipe covering member. The sensor can detect a signal at a first distance from a water leak point when the water leak occurs in the first pipeline, and detect a signal at a second distance, longer than the first distance, from the water leak point when the water leak occurs in the second pipeline.

    Abstract: A monitoring system includes a plurality of sensor terminals installed for a target to be measured, a base station wirelessly communicating with the sensor terminals, and a calculator communicable with the base station. The sensor terminal includes a sensor element which acquires vibration information of a target to be measured, an arithmetic unit which performs an arithmetic operation for data including the vibration information of the sensor element, and a wireless communication unit. The arithmetic unit performs a reduction process for reducing an amount of data of the sensor element. The wireless communication unit transmits data processed by the arithmetic unit to the base station. After the transmitted data is received, the base station transmits it to the calculator. The calculator includes a signal processing unit. The signal processing unit complements the reduction-processed data to acquire vibration information, and averages the vibration information for a predetermined period of time.
