    Abstract: Temperature measurement is an important part of many potential applications in the fields of metallurgy. Conventional temperature measurement methods do not provide accurate and precise average temperature of fluid inside an enclosed chamber. The present disclosure provides multi-sensory techniques for measuring average temperature of mixed fluid inside a chamber. The average temperature is measured based on acoustic interferometry technique on standing wave and inputs received from one or more sensors and radar. The present disclosure utilizes radar to compensate the effect of fumes, noise based on Doppler effect. Further, the inputs received from the one or more sensors are used to determine the concentration of one or more fluids present in the chamber. The method of proposed disclosure depends on the principle of dependence of temperature on sound speed in fluid. So, measurement of sound speed can be mapped to report average temperature of mixed fluid inside the chamber.

    Abstract: Fluids are normally transported from one place to another through pipelines. It is essential to monitor the pipeline to avoid leakage or theft. It is expensive and not feasible to install cameras and sensors along the whole length of the pipeline. A system and method for inspecting and detecting fluid leakage in a pipeline has been provided. The system is using vibration sensors along with pressure sensors to detect the leakage or theft along with the exact location of the leakage or theft. The pressure sensors are mounted on the pipeline so that the fluid touches the diaphragm of the pressure sensors to sense the wave generated due to leakage. The vibration sensors are mounted on top of the pipeline surface and on the nearby ground to eliminate general noise conditions. Moreover, two pressure sensors are also installed at opposite sides to pinpoint the leakage location.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to bio-signal detection, and more particularly to method and system for non-contact bio-signal detection using ultrasound signals. In an embodiment, the method includes acquiring an in-phase I(t) baseband signal and a quadrature Q(t) baseband signal associated with an ultrasound signal directed from the sensor assembly towards the target. Magnitude and phase signals are calculated from the in-phase and quadrature baseband signals, and are filtered by passing through a band pass filter associated with a predefined frequency range to obtain filtered magnitude and phase signals. Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) of the filtered magnitude and phase signals is performed to identify frequency of dominant peaks of spectrum of the magnitude and phase signals in the ultrasound signal. Value of the bio-signal associated with the target is determined based on weighted values of the frequency of the dominant peaks of the magnitude and phase signals.

    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to vehicle maintenance and more particularly to methods and systems for automatic vehicle maintenance scheduling. The method comprises obtaining acceleration data at a fixed sampling rate of a moving vehicle when the moving vehicle attains at least a pre-determined speed for a pre-determined time from start of the moving vehicle. The obtained acceleration data is processed to generate jerk energy values at predetermined intervals. Speed normalized jerk energy is computed based on an average of the generated jerk energy values and average speed of the moving vehicle. A relationship between journey number and the computed speed normalized jerk energy is computed. A vehicle maintenance indicator based on the computed relationship between the journey number and the computed speed normalized jerk energy is finally computed.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to data processing, and more particularly to a system and method for monitoring driving behavior of a driver. In one embodiment, a system (102) for monitoring driving behavior of a driver is disclosed. The system (102) may configure a processor (202) to execute computer-readable instructions (208) stored in a memory (206) in order to: capture a plurality of acceleration samples; compute Kurtosis values and Skewness values corresponding to a set of acceleration samples; filter the Kurtosis values; determine a probability distribution function of the filtered Kurtosis values; compute a mean and a standard deviation associated with the filtered Kurtosis values; determine a first threshold for each driver based upon the mean and the standard deviation; compute a first score for each driver based upon the first threshold and the number of trips; determine a second threshold; compute a second score for each driver based upon the second threshold and the number of trips; and evaluate driving behavior of a driver based upon the first score and the second score.
