FLOW IMAGING AND MONITORING FOR SYNCHRONIZED MANAGEMENT OF WIDE AREA DRAINAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044683 titled 'FLOW IMAGING AND MONITORING FOR SYNCHRONIZED MANAGEMENT OF WIDE AREA DRAINAGE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a flow imaging and monitoring system for managing wide area drainage. The system includes an interposer that supports monitoring and management equipment in a manhole. It also includes a module for illuminating water flowing in pipes at the base of the manhole and a module for monitoring responses to reflected light. A sealed and rechargeable battery pack is included, as well as a data analysis and management system for real-time interpretation of data streams. The interposer can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the manhole and placed under the manhole cover. The module for illuminating the flowing water can generate various frequencies. The support structures for the modules can be adjusted for varying pitch, roll, and yaw with respect to the manhole. The data analysis and management system is supported by cloud computing.

• The system includes an interposer that supports monitoring and management equipment in a manhole.
• A module is included for illuminating water flowing in pipes at the base of the manhole.
• Another module is included for monitoring responses to reflected light.
• The system includes a sealed and rechargeable battery pack.
• A data analysis and management system is included for real-time interpretation of data streams.
• The interposer can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the manhole and placed under the manhole cover.
• The module for illuminating the flowing water can generate various frequencies.
• The support structures for the modules can be adjusted for varying pitch, roll, and yaw with respect to the manhole.
• The data analysis and management system is supported by cloud computing.

Potential Applications

• Monitoring and managing wide area drainage systems.
• Assessing the flow of water in pipes.
• Identifying and analyzing responses to reflected light.

Problems Solved

• Lack of synchronized management of wide area drainage.
• Limited visibility and monitoring of water flow in pipes.
• Inefficient data analysis and interpretation.

Benefits

• Improved management and maintenance of wide area drainage systems.
• Enhanced visibility and monitoring of water flow in pipes.
• Real-time data analysis and interpretation for efficient decision-making.
• Adjustable components for easy installation and customization.
