Abstract: A thermal insulation jacket system. The thermal insulation jacket system includes a thermal insulation jacket configured to surround a valve, a plurality of detection devices and a computing device. Each detection device is configured to detect a different temperature associated with the valve. The computing device is coupled to the thermal insulation jacket and is communicably connected to the plurality of detection devices. The computing device is configured to calculate real-time energy savings attributable to the thermal insulation jacket and perform at least one diagnostic analysis associated with the valve.

Abstract: A thermal insulation jacket system comprising: a first thermal insulation jacket configured to fit on an object; a microcontroller located in the first thermal insulation jacket; a first temperature measuring means in signal communication with the microcontroller, configured to measure the temperature of the object; a second temperature measuring means in signal communication with the microcontroller, configured to measure the ambient temperature; where the microcontroller is configured to determine the energy savings achieved by the insulative properties of the first thermal insulation jacket.

Abstract: Methods and tools for cleaning pipes or pipe networks based on characteristics of pipes and debris in the pipes. A mobile platform includes a cleaning head and a sensor head. The platform implements a cleaning plan and senses characteristics of the pipe and debris. The cleaning plan is incrementally updated based on the sensed characteristics, and can be automatically updated using software. Many different cleaning tasks can be accomplished using the present platforms including agitation of sediment, pulverization of large debris, and movement of debris to facilitate removal.
