Based on stress wave detection technique and wavelet analysis, oil pipeline leakage detection system is designed. Through vibration sensor put on the pipeline, vibration signal of pipeline is collected. The signal is used to preliminary assessment with DSP processing unit within the system, and then the feature of threat events is extracted. The information is uploaded to the centre of security central station of system by GPRS signal. At this, signal wavelet analysis is done for leakage detection. Based on LabVIEW platform, on oil pipeline leakage monitoring interface, threat events is alarmed and shown in electronic map and the system is convenient for staff to handle with. With the test, recognized police rate of system is superior to 85%, rate of false alarm is 15% below. All knocking signal of pipeline is given right alarm information. The noise by people walk, car, wind and rain is effectively filtered.

With the increase of the age of the transport oil pipeline and the man-made destruction to pipeline, leaks are often found. The system for pipeline leakage detection and location must be established to find leakage and locate the leak positions to reduce serious environmental pollution and economic loss caused by leakage. The negative pressure wave method is an effective way to locate the leak position, because over 98 percent pipe leakage in China is paroxysmal. There is a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system to monitor operation for long transport petroleum pipe, but the function of leakage detection and location is not included in existing SCADA system in China. This paper used Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) method to obtain pipe operation parameters such as pressure, flow rate, temperature, bump current, valve position and so on from the SCADA system. That takes full advantage of the abundant data collection function of the SCADA system to provide data for leakage detection and location. The wavelet packet analysis-based fault diagnosis method can directly use the change of parameters such as energy of frequency component to detect faults without system model. In the paper, a wavelet packet analysis-based characteristic extraction method is used to extract the characteristic information of leak pressure signals. The eigenvector indexes along with the parameters obtained from the SCADA system can be used to avoid false alarms. Wavelet analysis was used to locate leak positions accurately in this paper. Such a wavelet analysis-based leakage detection and location scheme embedded in the SCADA system has been successfully applied to a pipeline in PetroChina. Practical run demonstrated its well effect.

The system adopted the way of the combination of software and hardware which used to detect oil pipeline leakage and located the accurate leak point. The hardware circuit using STC12C5A60S2 SCM、various types of sensors and MAX485 network and so on. Application of the Kingview technology to design a set of leakage monitor screen in software component. The system uses different sensors to measure the changes in various parameters of pipeline. And by changing parameters to judge whether a leakage happened. If it judged the presence of oil spill then upload the alarm information step by step, after terminal PC receives various parameters of information and then display the information of each code on monitoring interface and alarm the exact location, at the same time sends alarm sound.

Principle of the pipeline leak detection system is presented, and the leak detection method based on acoustic wave and wavelet analysis is studied in this paper. The dynamic pressure transmitter based on piezoelectric dynamic pressure transducer is designed. The characteristic of dynamic pressure transmitter when pipeline leak happened is analyzed. The dynamic pressure signal is suitable for pipeline leak detection for quick-change of pipeline internal pressure, while the static pressure is suitable for slow-change of pipeline internal pressure. The signal is analyzed by wavelet analysis method to detect the singularity, and the singularity is used to recognize and locate the leak. This paper indicated that the dynamic pressure signal could be adjust to this detection that the pressure changes in the pipeline. Field tests in 68.2 km pipeline segment show that the method detects pipeline leak rapidly and precisely.

Background: Valvular heart disease is a serious disease leading to mortality and increasing medical care cost. The aortic valve is the most common valve affected by this disease. Doctors rely on echocardiogram for diagnosing and evaluating valvular heart disease. However, the images from echocardiogram are poor in comparison to Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. This study proposes the development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) that can function optimally during a live echocardiographic examination for detection of the aortic valve. An automated detection system in an echocardiogram will improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis and can provide further medical analysis from the resulting detection. Methods: Two detection architectures, Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) and Faster Regional based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) with various feature extractors were trained on echocardiography images from 33 patients. Thereafter, the models were tested on 10 echocardiography videos. Results: Faster R-CNN Inception v2 had shown the highest accuracy (98.6%) followed closely by SSD Mobilenet v2. In terms of speed, SSD Mobilenet v2 resulted in a loss of 46.81% in framesper- second (fps) during real-time detection but managed to perform better than the other neural network models. Additionally, SSD Mobilenet v2 used the least amount of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) but the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage was relatively similar throughout all models. Conclusion: Our findings provide a foundation for implementing a convolutional detection system to echocardiography for medical purposes.

Reliability, sensitivity and detecting time under practical operational conditions are the most important parameters of a leak detection system. With the development of hardware and software, more and more pipelines are installed with advanced SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, so the compatibility of the leak detection system with SCADA system is also becoming important today. Pipeline leakage generates a sudden change in the pipeline pressure and flow. The paper introduces leak detecting methods according to the pipeline pressure wave change. In order to improve the compatibility of the leak detecting system, “OPC (Ole for process Control)” technology is used for obtaining the pressure signals from the distributed data collection system. Special focus is given on analysis of the pressure signals. It is successful to denoise the signals by means of wavelet scale shrinkage, and to capture the leak time tag using wavelet transform modulus maximum for locating the leak position accurately. A leak detecting system is established based on SCADA system. Tests and practical applications show that it locates leak position precisely. Good performance is obtained on both crude oil pipeline and product pipeline.
