The system of the present invention is used for detecting and locating leaks in a roofing envelope that includes an insulation package. The system includes at least two contacts disposed within the roofing envelope, where at least one contact is active and at least one is passive. The active contact is capable of emitting an electric signal of a known voltage, and the passive contact is capable of reading voltage at the location of the passive contact. All contacts are in electrical communication with a computer.

Methods and systems are provided for detecting leaks in an emissions control system of a vehicle. In one example, a method comprises monitoring an equivalent resistance of a leak detection circuit, and indicating a leak responsive to the equivalent resistance not equal to a threshold resistance. In this way, leaks in vapor line interfaces can be easily detected and located, thereby reducing emissions, without intrusively testing the emissions control system.

A seal arrangement for sealing a gap between a machine element comprising a shaft and a housing includes: at least one sealing element formed, at least partially, from polymeric material. The at least one sealing element is of annular design and is made of PTFE. The at least one sealing element has at least one first annular element and at least one second annular element. The at least one first element is electrically conductive and the at least one second element is electrically insulating. The at least one first element is arranged axially adjacently to the at least one second element. The at least one sealing element is provided with electrically conductive contact elements. The housing has an installation space forming an annular groove for the at least one sealing element. The installation space is provided with a lining forming an insulation.

Water leaks in irrigation systems may be detected by analysis of water pump energy consumption data captured from a utility power meter. Unlike existing solutions that use water meters or acoustic sensors, embodiments of the present apparatus and methods described herein detect water leaks based upon the electrical load associated with the water pump(s) in irrigation lines. These methods have the advantage of not requiring any extra hardware at the site of the irrigation system.

The present invention relates to a device for detecting leaks of liquids or gases caused by temperature variations, pressure variations, wear on the clamping and coupling devices, wear on sealing devices, by corrosive action, among others, in joints between pipes made by flanges (F) and together and basically comprises a strip (1) to be applied to the region of the “gap” (G) between flanges (F) with a pressure sensor (2) and protective caps (3) adapted to a screw head casing (PE) and nuts (P) employed for mounting between flanges (F).
