  • Publication number: 20210124069
    Abstract: An underground tunneling detection system and method includes a tunneling detection control unit that receives one or more sound detection signals including a sound signature output by a component that is underground and at or proximate to a location. The tunneling detection control unit compares the sound signature to sound signature data. The tunneling detection control unit determines that the sound signature is non-tunneling activity in response to the sound signature matching a non-tunneling portion of the sound signature data. The tunneling detection control unit determines that the sound signature is tunneling activity in response to the sound signature matching a tunneling portion of the sound signature data. The tunneling detection control unit determines a similarity metric between the sound signature and one or both of the non-tunneling portion of the sound signature data or the tunneling portion of the sound signature data in response to the sound signature differing from the sound signature data.

  • Patent number: 9775055
    Abstract: A radio performance analyzer is provided comprising a cloud-accessible user communications interface and a radio performance calculator configured to compute a measure of performance for a plurality of networked radios operable in a geographic region, wherein the user communications interface is configured to receive a selection of a number of radios in the plurality of networked radios, wherein a selection is formed, the radio performance calculator computes the measure of performance of the selection for a plurality of locations in the geographic region spanning a selected period of time, and the radio performance calculator computes the measure of performance based on calculations of bit error rate and signal-to-noise ratio.
