摘要: Signal measurement units each measure a signal output from a sound source, as a measured signal. Reference signal acquisition units each acquire a reference signal. A weighting processing unit creates weighted reference signals by weighting the reference signals. A time synchronization correction calculation unit calculates a time synchronization correction value based on the weighted reference signals. The time synchronization correction value is a correction value for synchronizing the two measured signals. An arrival time difference calculation unit calculates an arrival time difference based on the time synchronization correction value. The arrival time difference is a difference between elapsed times for the two measured signals acquired by respective ones of the pair of signal measurement units to arrive at the respective ones of the pair of signal measurement units. A sound source position calculation unit calculates a position of the sound source based on the arrival time difference.

摘要: A hole detection method of a vehicle and a system performing the same may include positioning an air injection nozzle at a predetermined position of a vehicle body and positioning a sound sensor at a position corresponding to the air injection nozzle, injecting an air jet from the air injection nozzle, detecting a sound wave from the sound sensor, and calculating a characteristic of a water leakage hole formed on the vehicle body by using the sound wave detected from the sound sensor.

摘要: A system for ultrasonic leak detection employs a number of ultrasonic signal generators, each of which include an ultrasonic transducer generating an ultrasonic signal and an audio transducer generating an audio signal in the frequency range of human hearing that is a replica of the ultrasonic waveform. The ultrasonic signal generators are activated and placed at selected locations within the enclosure to be tested. The operator can listen for the audio signal to verify operation and the output waveform type of the ultrasonic signal generators. A mobile ultrasonic leak detector can then be employed outside the enclosure to detect any leakage of the ultrasonic signal through the enclosure wall to identify any leak paths.

摘要: Systems and methods for monitoring subsea equipment are described herein. In one embodiment, such a system can include a plurality of acoustic sensor arrays that each include at least two acoustic sensors, wherein at least a first acoustic sensor array is mounted on an outer surface of subsea equipment being monitored and at least a second acoustic sensor array is positioned remote from the subsea equipment. The system can also include a digital data processor in communication with the plurality of acoustic sensor arrays, the digital data processor can be configured to process data from selected sensors of the plurality of acoustic sensor arrays to both selectively focus on a portion of the subsea equipment and to determine a point of origin of an acoustic signal. The system can be particularly useful in detecting leaks and other events in subsea drilling equipment.

摘要: An ultrasonic detector has a housing containing a transducer, a battery or other power supply, and any other necessary electronics. At a front end of the housing is a socket into which one of a plurality of interchangeable probes can be inserted. At the rear end of the housing, there is a handle by which an operative can hold the detector in use. On the inside of the housing, extending at least partially into the handle, is an elongate chamber within which at least one probe can be stored. A cover of the handle closes a rear end of the probe storage chamber and can be removed to expose a portion of the probe storage chamber and allow a probe to be inserted or removed.

摘要: The disclosed embodiments describe a method, apparatus, and system for water management. At least one smart aquameter may be used to connect to a plumbed water system. The smart aquameter may measure a variety of sensor data, process, analyze, store, report, or control information related to the water system. The acoustic, pressure, and temperature characteristics of water in a plumbed system, amongst other things, may be used to identify which outlet is using water, for how long, and how much. This information, along with other relevant information, may be utilized to report, alert, optimize, inform, educate, and regulate the water system, for consumers, utility companies, and resource agencies.

摘要: A vibration detection device (10) is provided with a vibration detection unit (110), a sensor-side leak determination unit (120), a first transmission unit (130), and a second transmission unit (140). The vibration detection unit (110) detects vibration transmitted through piping (30). The sensor-side leak determination unit (120) determines whether or not there is a possibility of a leak in the piping (30) based on a measurement result of the vibration detection unit (110). When the sensor-side leak determination unit (120) determines that there is a possibility of a leak, the first transmission unit (130) transmits provisional leak information to an information processing device (20). The provisional leak information indicates that there is a possibility of a leak in the piping (30). When waveform request information indicating a request for waveform data of the vibration is received from the information processing device (20), the second transmission unit (140) transmits waveform data measured by the vibration detection unit (110) to the information processing device (20).
