    Abstract: A system for detecting leaks within a pipe network is provided. The system includes mobile sensors that can be non-permanently attached to a pipe in the pipe network. The system further includes mobile devices. The mobile sensors can send sensor measurements to the mobile devices, and the mobile devices can send sensor measurements across a communications network to an application server. The application server is configured to process the sensor measurements in order to estimate a location of a leak in the pipe network. The system further includes a time source component, with the mobile devices communicating with the time source component in order to synchronize a sensor measurement recording time of the mobile sensors.

    Abstract: A device for connecting one or more sensors to a pipe, may include a sealed capsule and a pipe connector. The sealed capsule may include the one or more sensors and a non-corrosive liquid. The pipe connector may be configured to fix the sealed capsule to the pipe. The one or more sensors may be configured to measure pressure or pressure transient from a first liquid via the non-corrosive liquid.

    Abstract: A system for pipe network failure classification, may include one or more sensors, a pipe network parts database, and at least one processor communicatively networked to the one or more sensors and the pipe network parts database. The at least one processor is configured to intermittently receive sensor collected parameters from the one or more sensors, reference, upon receipt of an indication of a failure of a pipe in the pipe network, records of the pipe network parts database and retrieve one or more feature parameter values associated with the failed pipe's operational or environmental conditions, and classify the pipe failure into one of two or more failure categories associated with different failure causes, based on values of parameters associated with the failed pipe that are received from at least one of the one or more sensors or the pipe network parts database.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring pressure transients and pipe bursts in a pipeline network are provided. The system can include a pressure sensor for measuring pressure in a pipe and generating a pressure signal, and a hydrophone for detecting a change of the pressure and generating a hydrophone signal. The system can include a high pass filter that can filter a portion of the hydrophone signal corresponding to a particular frequency. The system can include a comparator that generates an interrupt signal when the hydrophone signal satisfies a threshold value. The system can include a microcontroller which stays in a sleep mode until receiving the interrupt signal. The microcontroller can switch on the pressure sensor to record the pressure signal generated by the pressure sensor after being woken up.
