ZONED ROOF MONITORING SYSTEM
A leak in the membrane of a generally horizontal roof support deck includes dividing the membrane into separate zones and locating a sensor to detect moisture underneath the membrane. A unique digital code address is assigned to sensor where inputs of the sensors are connected to a single power and signaling cable system using a daisy chain. The serial bus controller is to interrogate each of the sensor devices using the address to identify zones where moisture is detected. A transmitting antenna is provided at each sensor which is switched on when moisture is detected for detecting of the sensor from above the membrane by a utility locate device to confirm the location of the sensor.
Gas quantification systems and methods
Various techniques are disclosed to provide a quantification of a gas leak based on an image of a gas plume generated by the leak. An image location that corresponds to the origin of the gas leak is determined. An exit border is disposed on the image based on the image location that corresponds to the origin of the gas leak. A gas leak rate is computed based at least on gas concentration values of the pixels that overlap the exit border.

AUTONOMOUS FIBER OPTIC SYSTEM FOR DIRECT DETECTION OF CO2 LEAKAGE IN CARBON STORAGE WELLS
Direct detection of carbon dioxide leakage in a carbon storage well is obtained using an optical fiber adapted to be positioned in the carbon storage well, a detection unit operatively connected to the optical fiber, and a leak sensor section incorporated in the optical fiber.
Devices, systems and methods for detecting leaks and measuring usage
Devices, systems and methods for leak detection are provided herein. Also provided are devices, systems and methods for monitoring and/or measuring fluid usage. In some aspects, a system comprising a sensor, a processing system, and a platform are provided. In some aspects, the sensor may be coupled to a spinning device. The sensor can be configured to detect fluid data, which can comprise, for example, displacement data of liquid and/or movement data associated with the liquid in a container and/or flow data associated with a flow of fluid in a conduit. The processing system can be coupled with the sensor and configured to communicate the fluid data. The platform can comprise an application communicatively coupled to one or more databases storing evaluation data (e.g., known pattern data) and configured to receive the fluid data and determine if there is a leak.
