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.

Abstract: A multi-path acoustic signal apparatus, system, and apparatus for use in material detection are provided. The apparatus has a plurality of acoustic sensors positioned along a first portion of a fluid container. At least one acoustic signal is transmitted into the fluid container by each of the plurality of acoustic sensors. At least one additional acoustic sensor is positioned along a second portion of the fluid container, wherein the second portion is substantially opposite the first portion. The at least one additional acoustic sensor receives at least a portion of the acoustic signals from the plurality of acoustic sensors. A reflected acoustic signal is generated from an impedance barrier between the fluid container and a fluid therein. A characteristic of a material of the fluid container and/or the fluid therein are determined.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for determining a material identity of a fluid being stored in a vessel, the system comprising: at least two acoustic sensors positionable substantially on an exterior sidewall of the vessel having the fluid therein, wherein the two acoustic sensors are positioned at predetermined heights on the vessel; and a computerized device in communication with the at least two acoustic sensors, wherein a processor of the computerized device receives a detection signal from one or more of the at least two acoustic sensors, wherein the computerized device uses the detection signal and measured information of the fluid to derive a temperature-compensated acoustic metric of the fluid which is compared against a material properties database to determine the material identity of the fluid within the vessel. Also disclosed is a system for determining a condition of a vessel wall, the system comprising: a vessel containing a fluid; first and second acoustic sensors positionable substantially on an exterior sidewall of the vessel, wherein first and second sensors are positioned at a predetermined height on the vessel, and wherein the second acoustic sensor is positioned angularly relative to the vessel wall; and a computerized device in communication with the two acoustic sensors, wherein a processor of the computerized device receives a detection signal from the first and second acoustic sensors, wherein the detection signal from the first acoustic sensor is used to determine a vessel wall thickness and the detection signal from the second acoustic sensor provides an attenuated signal, wherein the condition of the vessel wall is determinable based on the wall thickness and an amount of attenuation in the attenuated signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring temperature in a layered environment includes an ultrasound transducer positioned perpendicular to an exterior surface of a first layer. The ultrasound transducer is in communication with a computer processor, power source, and computer-readable memory. The processor is configured to: measure a thickness of the first layer; measure an exterior surface temperature of the first layer; calculate an impedance of the first layer based on the thickness and the exterior surface temperature; and calculate an interior surface temperature of the first layer based on the impedance and the exterior surface temperature of the first layer.

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.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and related methods for multi-bounce material property detection and signal amplification are provided. The apparatus has a first acoustic transducer positioned on an exterior sidewall of a pipe or container carrying or holding a quantity of fluid therein. An acoustic signal is transmitted by the first acoustic transducer into the sidewall of the pipe from an exterior surface thereof. With material detection, at least a portion of the acoustic signal reflects off an interior surface of the sidewall of the pipe. The reflected acoustic signal is received at the second acoustic transducer on the exterior sidewall of the pipe. The reflected acoustic signal provides an indication of a material property of the pipe or a material within the pipe. With signal amplification, the second acoustic transducer transmits a phase synchronized second acoustic signal to the first acoustic signal to amplify the first acoustic signal.
