Systems And Methods For Determining Floating Roof Level Tilt And Characterizing Runoff
view source
US Patent:

20220178732, Jun 9, 2022
Filed:

Dec 5, 2021
Appl. No.:

17/542461
Inventors:

- Tucson AZ, US
EARL CROCHET - HUMBLE TX, US
LAZAR BIVOLARSKY - CUPERTINO CA, US
JAMES M. HEIM - TUCSON AZ, US
WILLIAM COLEMAN - TUCSON AZ, US
International Classification:

G01F 23/70
Abstract:

Floating roof storage tank systems and related methods are disclosed. The disclosed systems include a storage tank, a floating roof, and a plurality of acoustic sensors. The storage tank has one or more walls defining an interior space and the floating roof is configured to move vertically within the interior space. The acoustic sensors are levelly mounted along a horizontal plane on the one or more walls of the storage tank. One or more signals received by at least a portion of the plurality of acoustic sensors are used to determine a tilt angle of the floating roof.

US Patent:

20220178879, Jun 9, 2022
Filed:

Dec 5, 2021
Appl. No.:

17/542462
Inventors:

- Tucson AZ, US
JOEL D. BURCHAM - HUNTSVILLE AL, US
EARL CROCHET - HUMBLE TX, US
JAMES M. HEIM - TUCSON AZ, US
WILLIAM COLEMAN - TUCSON AZ, US
International Classification:

G01N 29/028
G01N 29/036
Abstract:

An apparatus and method for multi-bounce acoustic signal material detection is provided. The apparatus includes a container containing a quantity of material therein, wherein the quantity of material has at least two segmented layers. First and second acoustic sensors are positioned on a sidewall of the container, wherein the first acoustic sensor is positioned at a different height along the sidewall than the second acoustic sensor. An acoustic signal is transmitted into the sidewall of the container from the first acoustic sensor. The acoustic signal reflects between an interior surface of the sidewall and an exterior surface of the sidewall until it is received at the second acoustic sensor. A border between the at least two segmented layers of the quantity of material is detectable based on the acoustic signal.

US Patent:

20220178880, Jun 9, 2022
Filed:

Dec 5, 2021
Appl. No.:

17/542465
Inventors:

- Tucson AZ, US
JOEL D. BURCHAM - HUNTSVILLE AL, US
EARL CROCHET - HUMBLE TX, US
JAMES M. HEIM - TUCSON AZ, US
WILLIAM COLEMAN - TUCSON AZ, US
International Classification:

G01N 29/032
G01N 29/22
Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method for the detection of contents within a container includes a plurality of transducers mounted on an exterior surface of the container. A plurality of acoustic signals is transmitted into the container, and an echo is generated when the signals contact an object. The echo is received at a transducer and a processor analyzes the echo to detect the object. Similarly, two acoustic transducers can be used to angularly transmit the signal into a container. The signal reflects off a sediment surface and is received at another acoustic transducer. The reflection signal can be used to analyze a sediment surface within the container.

US Patent:

20200378818, Dec 3, 2020
Filed:

Jun 26, 2020
Appl. No.:

16/914092
Inventors:

- Tucson AZ, US
EARL J. CROCHET - HUMBLE TX, US
WILLIAM COLEMAN - TUCSON AZ, US
JOEL BURCHAM - HUNTSVILLE AL, US
LAZAR BIVOLARSKY - CUPERTINO CA, US
International Classification:

G01F 23/296
G08B 21/18
Abstract:

Systems and methods for determining a fill level of a fluid within a fluid vessel, an identity of the fluid, and/or a condition of the vessel wall are disclosed. To determine a fluid fill level, at least one acoustic sensor is positionable substantially on an exterior sidewall of a vessel containing fluid. A computerized device is in communication with the at least one acoustic sensor. A processor of the computerized device receives a detection signal from the at least one acoustic sensor and communicates an alert of the detection signal, which can be used to identify a fill level of the fluid. The detection signal, along with other measured information, can be used to identify the material type of the fluid. A condition of the vessel wall may be determined based on an attenuation signal when two acoustic sensors are used, one being positioned angular to the vessel wall.
