Patent number: 12196870Abstract: Acoustic signals from an acoustic event are captured via sensing nodes of sensor group(s) that comprise a group of sensing nodes at a location comprising spatial boundaries. Each of the sensing nodes comprise a sensor area. Each of the sensor group(s) is based on: range limits of each of the sensing nodes; shared sensing areas of the sensing nodes; and intersections between the sensor area for each of the sensing nodes and the spatial boundaries. Solutions(s) are generated by processing the acoustic signals. The solution(s) indicate the location of the acoustic event. A strength of solution compliance value for at least one of the solution(s) is determined. A refined solution is generated employing: sensor contributions of sensing nodes; and the strength of solution compliance value with the spatial boundaries and at least one of the solution(s). A report is created comprising the location of the acoustic event.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Databuoy CorporationInventors: Kathleen Ann Griggs, Stephen Patrick Griggs

Patent number: 9910128Abstract: The source of an acoustic even is located. Spatial boundaries for a location are determined. Sensing nodes are placed at the location. The intersection between a sensor area for sensing nodes and spatial boundaries is found. Sensor group(s) of sensing node(s) are determined, based at least in part, on sensing node range limits and shared sensing areas. Solution(s) are generated by processing acoustic event detections based on a multi-sensor fusion of sensor group(s). Solution(s) are refined employing sensor contributions based on a strength of solution compliance value with the spatial boundaries and advancing optimal solutions. Solution(s) are routed to a hub for integration with other services.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: DATABUOY CORPORATIONInventors: Kathleen Ann Griggs, Stephen Patrick Griggs
