    摘要: Disclosed is a monitoring system (2) for cable, pipe or wire transits (1; 1a . . . 1n) of a type which has a plurality of transit elements (10, 20, 30, 40; 42; 400) to be assembled into a sealed installation of one or more cables (2), pipes or wires at a site (5). Each transit (1; 1a . . . 1n) has a transit guard unit (50; 50a-50n; 150; 250; 350; 450) configured to detect a condition indicative of whether the installation of the cables, pipes or wires in the transit is sealed or at least potentially not sealed. A central monitoring unit (70) is configured to receive, over a communication network (60; 60b), first information (110, 112) about the condition detected by the transit guard unit (50) of any of the transits (1a . . . 1n). The central monitoring unit (70) registers the particular transit (1a) as being in a first state (GREEN) when the received first information (110) indicates that the installation of the cables, pipes or wires in the transit is sealed, or as being in a second state (RED) when the received first information (112) indicates that the installation is at least potentially not sealed. While the particular transit (1a) is in the second state (RED), the central monitoring unit (70) receives second information (114) about the condition detected by the transit guard unit (50a) of the particular transit (1a). If the received second information indicates that the installation of the cables, pipes or wires in the transit is sealed, then the registered state of the particular transit (1a) is changed to a third state (YELLOW). The central monitoring unit (70) makes the registered states (GREEN, RED, YELLOW) of the respective transits (1a-1n) available to a user (3, 4) of the monitoring system (2).

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of cleaning and inspection of drilling mud carrying flow lines, each flow line having an inner surface. The method includes affixing a fitting to the flow line, the fitting having a main flow channel and a branch flow channel extending at an angle from said main flow channel. A first end portion of the fitting can have an attachment that enables connection of the fitting to the flow line at one flow line end portion. A second end portion of the fitting can have one or more doors that can be moved between opened and closed positions, the door or doors providing an opening that is not closed when the doors are in the closed position. A suction line can be connected to the branch flow channel. A cleaning tool can be guided first into the fitting and then into the flow line using a fluid carrying cable. The cleaning tool and jetting fluid can be used to clean drilling mud and debris from the inner surface of the flow line. The jetting fluid can be removed via the branch flow channel using the suction line. The cable can extend through the door opening or openings when the door or doors are in the closed position. A camera can be guided into the flow line using a camera cable wherein the camera cable extends through the door opening or openings. The cleaning tool is preferably too small to fit through the door opening.

    摘要: A system for monitoring stored spent fuel rods is provided, the system comprising: canisters containing the spent fuel rods; and temperature measuring means positioned on external surfaces of the canisters. Also provided is a method for monitoring stored spent fuel rods contained in canisters, the method comprising measuring temperature of the canisters at a plurality of external surfaces of each of the canisters, recording time of temperature differences between said external surfaces, determining time of oxidation initiation of the spent fuel rods based on the recording time, and preventing oxidation from occurring.

    摘要: The present application describes a method of determining a leak location in a pipeline, comprising processing captured image data associated with at least one image captured from within a pipeline to identify a change in temperature of an interior surface of the pipeline responsive to a change in temperature of a fluid leaking from the pipeline to determine a leak location in the pipeline. A system and apparatus for determining a leak location in a pipeline are also described.

    摘要: An improved sensor system is provided that monitors and controls a dendritic fluid system. A dendritic fluid system can include artificial components and/or natural components that carry fluid from a source to a destination through a series of paths. The sensor system can include magnetic field sensors, acoustic sensors, encapsulated sensor systems, pressure regulators, and valve controllers to monitor and control the dendritic fluid system. For example, magnetic field sensors, acoustic sensors, and/or pressure regulators can be used to measure the flow of fluid within a dendritic fluid subsystem and/or to detect potential leaks. The encapsulated sensor systems and/or valve controllers can be used to detect fluid levels in a contained system and control valves to adjust the fluid levels in the contained system to a desired level.
