Rochester Section AES/COM Chapter Technical Presentation

Co-sponsored by: WiseNet and NASA

After several years of research and development, WiSe-Net lab researchers at University of Maine created a standalone wireless device for detecting air leaks inside pressurized space vehicles or habitats. This system includes multiple ultrasonic sensors that listen for acoustic waves emitted from a small hole causing air leak. The large amount of data collected from these sensors are then statistically analyzed using a number of different algorithms and signal processing methods to find the most likely location of the leak. This can help save crew time, save precious air in deep space missions, and has the potential to be used here on earth for safety at homes or inside gas and oil pipelines.
