A system is provided for detecting abnormal consumption in one portion of a distributed water infrastructure while normal water usage occurs in another portion of the distributed water infrastructure. The system may comprise at least one processor. The system may receive from at least one sensor associated with the distributed water infrastructure indications of regular water usage. The system may determine, from a plurality of indications received over a time period, a plurality of baseline water usage profiles. The system may receive from the at least one sensor a current water usage profile. The system may compare the current water usage profile with the plurality of baseline water usage profiles. The system may determine an abnormal water consumption based on the comparison between the current water usage profile and the plurality of baseline water usage profiles. The system may generate an abnormal water consumption signal when abnormal water consumption is determined.

A system is provided for differentiating between overlapping water events in a distributed water infrastructure including a plurality of water appliances. The system may comprise at least one processor. The system may repeatedly measure at least one overall water usage indicator of the distributed water infrastructure, the at least one water usage indicator including at least one of an overall flow rate and an overall flow volume in the distributed water infrastructure. The system may detect, in the repeated measurements, a first sustained increase. The system may store in memory a first indicator of the first sustained increase. The system may attribute in memory the first sustained increase to a first water event in the distributed water infrastructure. The system may, during the first sustained increase, detect in the overall measurements a second sustained increase. The system may store in memory a second indicator of the second sustained increase. The system may attribute, in memory, the second sustained increase to a second water event in the distributed water infrastructure. The system may detect, following initiation of the first sustained increase and the second sustained increase, in the repeated measurements a decrease in the overall water usage indicator. The system may attribute to the decrease a third indicator. The system may compare the third indicator with at least one of the first indicator and the second indicator stored in memory to determine a substantial match and determine a cessation of at least one of the first water event and the second water event. The system may initiate an action based on the cessation determination.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and methods for measuring, monitoring, and/or controlling the chemical concentration of one or more active ingredients in a solution for treating plants and plant crops, such as fruits and vegetables.

An online monitor for trace sodium in high-purity water, and an online monitoring method and device thereof are provided. Under the control of an embedded industrial computer, an injection-calibration system conveys calibrated water samples and to-be-measured water samples to a flame atomization system continuously and stably. The flame atomization system forms a negative pressure field using a high-purity hydrogen-oxygen mixture as carrier gas, draws in the to-be-measured water samples for atomization, mixing and droplet separation, and then ignites a characteristic spectrum which emits sodium at a high-temperature inner cone. A photoelectric sensor system quickly scans the characteristic spectrum of sodium, and outputs a second-order differential modulation sodium spectrum after removing background interferences. A data acquisition system acquires an analog signal of the second-order differential modulation sodium spectrum, converts the analog signal into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to the embedded industrial computer for real-time monitoring and control.

An auto jartest analyzer includes a plurality of water sample reaction equipment, coagulant providing/controlling equipment and a coagulant concentration analysis device. The coagulant providing/controlling equipment provides coagulant of different concentration to the plurality of water sample reaction equipment to allow contaminants in a water sample of the water sample reaction equipment to precipitate. The coagulant concentration analysis device analyzes turbidity measurements for the plurality of water sample reaction equipment and determines if they meet predetermined analysis criteria, so as to figure out an optimal concentration of coagulant currently required to be added to the water sample. This thus achieves automatic analysis of an addition concentration of coagulant to be added to the water sample, which not only improves operational efficiency but also makes the analysis result more accurate.

The invention relates to a testing kit to test dental unit waterlines to meet the CDC water safety monitoring guideline using EPA compliant standards.

The CDC recommends water used in non-surgical procedures to be delivered from dental unit waterlines that follow the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) standard for safe drinking, which contain less than or equal to 500 colony forming units of heterotrophic bacteria per milliliter of water (500 CFU/mL).

The goal of the invention is the development of a cost effective in-office test kit to monitor the safety of dental unit waterlines by following suggested EPA protocol of counting bacteria colonies after bacteria has gone through an incubation period.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a portable bioelectrochemical electrical signal measuring device that may have at least one anode, at least one cathode, an anode-cathode connector between said at least one anode and said at least one cathode, a load connector between a load and said at least one anode and at least one cathode, and a data meter connected to said load connector wherein the device may measure an electrical signal of a matrix to perhaps determine the microbial activity in the matrix.

The present invention relates to an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene enhanced high-flow delivery high-pressure hose and manufacturing method thereof. The hose includes an outer rubber layer, a reinforcing layer and an inner rubber layer from outside to inside. A thickness of the outer rubber layer is 0.3-6.0 mm. A thickness of the reinforcing layer is 1.0-5.0 mm. A thickness of the inner layer is 0.3-5.0 mm. The outer rubber layer and the inner layer are obtained by co-extruding onto the reinforcing layer using a coextrusion equipment. The manufacturing method includes the following steps: rubber mixing, preparing the reinforcing layer, producing a finished product, vulcanizing and pressure testing. The hose of the invention has the advantages of light weight, good flexibility, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and good weather fastness. The hose can be connected through a plurality of standard buckles, which is easy to wind up, easy to assemble and disassemble.
