  • Patent number: 10612217
    Abstract: A water leak detection assembly for sensing and stopping a water leak in a building includes a screw that is inserted into a wall having the screw being positioned proximate a pipe for a plumbing fixture in a building. A sensing unit is provided and the sensing unit is positionable in the screw having the sensing unit being aligned with the pipe. The sensing unit senses moisture thereby facilitating the sensing unit to detect water leaking from the pipe. A shut off unit is provided and the shut off unit is fluidly coupled to a water supply pipe for the building and the shut off unit is in electrical communication with the sensing unit. The shut off unit turns off the water supply pipe when the sensing unit senses water thereby stopping the potential water leak.

  • Patent number: 7273098
    Abstract: A method for producing oil or gas from multiple wells, the wells including at least a first well and a second well, with each well using an artificial lift system that includes a plunger associated with a motor valve off time, and first and second identical connecting subsystems that connect their respective wells to a common sales line. The first connecting subsystem includes: a) a plunger arrival sensor connected to a micro controller; b) a wellhead connected to the first well; c) a motor valve connected to the wellhead; d) first and second pressure transducers on either side of the motor valve, conductively coupled to the micro controller; and e) a micro controller for keeping the motor valve closed during the motor valve off time, and extending the motor valve off time following a determination of the existence of a pressure spike in the common sales line.
