Publication number: 20260071933Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for detecting an anomaly in a pipeline carrying fluids using a Pipeline Inspection Guage (PIG). Provided is a PIG configured to be placed into a fluid within the pipeline including one or more pressure measuring devices configured to receive pressure signals indicative of the one or more pressure parameters within the fluid flowing through the pipeline when the PIG is placed within the pipeline. The PIG includes a computer processor configured to provide detected pressure signals to an edge computing device for comparing the pressure signals to one or more anomaly detection thresholds to determine whether an anomaly event (e.g., a leak) is detected in the pipeline. The PIG computer processor preferably automatically generates an event report upon detection of an anomaly even, and may automatically issue an alert in the form of an event summary describing the anomaly.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2025Publication date: March 12, 2026Applicant: Pipesense, LLCInventors: Stuart Mitchell, Scott Bauer, Dacosta Yeboah, Dingding Chen

Publication number: 20250207993Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous monitoring of a pipeline or a pipeline network carrying flowing media that can not only detect the presence of a leak but also locate the source of the leak through the use of rarefraction wave detection and methods of using the same is disclosed within. The apparatus and method are specifically configured to locate the leak source within less than 36 inches using a calibration means and a noise cancellation means.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2025Publication date: June 26, 2025Applicant: Pipesense, LLCInventors: Michael David Nash, Stuart Mitchell

Publication number: 20240361202Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods to detect pipeline leaks. The systems and method can identify a pipeline pressure surge by applying a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) model for classifying pipeline pressure measurement images on each sensor site of a plurality of sensor sites, transfer pressure surge information obtained from at least a portion of the plurality of sensor sites to a cloud site, and determine whether the identified pressure surge is a pipeline leak at the cloud site using the pressure surge information. The plurality of sensor sites collect pipeline pressure measurement data. The pressure surge information corresponds to the identified pipeline pressure surge.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: Pipesense, LLCInventors: Dingding Chen, Michael David Nash, Kamy Tehranchi, Scott Bauer, Stuart Mitchell

Patent number: 12108489Abstract: A method and a system for determining a path of data traffic based on a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address, the destination IP address being either private or public and belonging to any one of multiple organizations. In the method and system, a subscribed device identifier and the destination IP address of one of the multiple organizations is received at a managed service platform. If both the subscribed device identifier and the destination IP address of the one of the multiple organizations are not registered in a predetermined policy database, a subscriber or an owner of the subscribed device is prompted, at a telecommunications endpoint associated with the subscribed device identifier, to register the endpoint. The subscribed device identifier is then registered in the predetermined policy database, based on information received from the telecommunications endpoint in response to the prompting.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2020Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Tata Communications (UK) LimitedInventors: Ranjith Kumar Chennupati, Stuart Mitchell, Marc Schneider, Eric Alistair Williams

Patent number: 11743724Abstract: A method and system for determining a path of data traffic based on a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address, the destination IP address being either private or public and belonging to any one of multiple organizations. In the method and system, a VPN is activated at a telecommunication endpoint. In response to activating the VPN, a service device on a private network interconnects with a VPN gateway. A subscriber identifier associated with the telecommunication endpoint and the destination IP address of one of the multiple organizations is received at a managed service platform. If both the subscriber identifier and the destination IP address of the one of the multiple organizations are not registered in a predetermined policy database at the telecommunication endpoint, a subscriber identified by the subscriber identifier is prompted to register the subscriber identifier associated with the telecommunication endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Tata Communications (UK) LimitedInventors: Ranjith Kumar Chennupati, Stuart Mitchell, Marc Schneider, Eric Alistair Williams
