Abstract: Hardware that is configured to gather data on a process line. These configurations may include devices that can connect to existing process control networks, like 4-20 mA control loops. These devices may include rechargeable power sources, for example, a supercapacitor. This power source can power a sensor or like hardware that resides in proximity to a control valve or other device on the process line. The sensor may require a power level for a short time that significantly exceeds one available from 4-20 mA current loop network. As an added benefit, the circuitry may find use to allow the power source to store power, or re-charge, at periodic intervals to ensure that the sensor can gather data regularly during the lifetime of the control valve.

Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes a communication unit including a first transmitter and a second transmitter. The communication unit is coupled to an on-board computing device including at least one processor coupled to a memory device. The processor is configured to obtain a position of the inspection apparatus, unprocessed image data, and fluid concentration data for at least one fluid. The processor geotags the data with the position of the inspection apparatus and transmits the data to a remote processing device. The geotagged image data is transferred using the first transmitter and the geotagged fluid concentration data is transmitted using the second transmitter.

Abstract: An air bypass system for an internal combustion engine is provided. The internal combustion engine includes an air intake system defining a first air intake chamber and a second air intake chamber coupled in flow communication with the first air intake chamber. The air bypass system includes at least one bypass assembly controlling flow communication between the first air intake chamber and the second air intake chamber, said at least one bypass assembly facilitating air flow from the second air intake chamber into the first air intake chamber during an expansion stroke of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A remote processing device for processing inspection data collected by one or more inspection apparatuses includes a communication unit and an on-board computing device coupled to the communication device. The communication unit is configured to transmit data to and receive data from one or more inspection apparatuses. The on-board computing device includes at least one processor and a memory device coupled to the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive geotagged unprocessed image data from the inspection apparatuses over a first communication channel, receive geotagged fluid concentration data from the inspection apparatuses over a second communication channel, process the geotagged unprocessed image data into one or more image files, generate a fluid data map by overlaying the geotagged fluid concentration data over the one or more image files, and transmit the fluid data map to one or more remote computing devices.
