Patent number: 11898705Abstract: A system for pipe network failure classification, may include one or more sensors, a pipe network parts database, and at least one processor communicatively networked to the one or more sensors and the pipe network parts database. The at least one processor is configured to intermittently receive sensor collected parameters from the one or more sensors, reference, upon receipt of an indication of a failure of a pipe in the pipe network, records of the pipe network parts database and retrieve one or more feature parameter values associated with the failed pipe's operational or environmental conditions, and classify the pipe failure into one of two or more failure categories associated with different failure causes, based on values of parameters associated with the failed pipe that are received from at least one of the one or more sensors or the pipe network parts database.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Aquarius Spectrum Ltd.Inventors: David Solomon, Bori Solomon

Patent number: 11486787Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring pressure transients and pipe bursts in a pipeline network are provided. The system can include a pressure sensor for measuring pressure in a pipe and generating a pressure signal, and a hydrophone for detecting a change of the pressure and generating a hydrophone signal. The system can include a high pass filter that can filter a portion of the hydrophone signal corresponding to a particular frequency. The system can include a comparator that generates an interrupt signal when the hydrophone signal satisfies a threshold value. The system can include a microcontroller which stays in a sleep mode until receiving the interrupt signal. The microcontroller can switch on the pressure sensor to record the pressure signal generated by the pressure sensor after being woken up.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2017Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: AQUARIUS SPECTRUM LTD.Inventor: David Solomon

Patent number: 9846075Abstract: A method and device for leak detection and localization in at least a portion of a of fluid distribution system. At each of two or more locations, a position locator determines the location of the device and a vibration sensor generates a signal indicative of vibrations detected by the vibration sensor at the location. A processor calculates a parameter of the signal indicative of an average power of the signal at the location over a predetermined time period. For each location, the processor stores in a memory the location of the device and the value of calculated parameter, and then determines a location in the fluid distribution system where the calculated parameter has a maximum value satisfying a predetermined criterion.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Aquarius Spectrum Ltd.Inventor: David Solomon
