Example computer systems, computer apparatuses, computer methods, and computer program products are disclosed for detecting a gas leak. An example computer method includes receiving an electronic indication of a monitoring mode and determining whether the monitoring mode corresponds to a standard mode or a focus mode. The example computer method further includes, in response to determining that the monitoring mode corresponds to the standard mode: monitoring a first range of ultrasonic frequencies to generate a first set of monitored data; and generating a first ultrasonic gas leak detection signal based on the first set of monitored data. The example computer method further includes, in response to determining that the monitoring mode corresponds to the focus mode: monitoring a second range of ultrasonic frequencies to generate a second set of monitored data; and generating a second ultrasonic gas leak detection signal based on the second set of monitored data.

Focused mode detection for an ultrasonic leak detection device

Embodiments relate generally to an ultrasonic detector, and methods of making the ultrasonic detector. The ultrasonic detector may comprise a piezoelectric element operable to convert the pressure of sound waves from mechanical energy into electric signal; a protective cover; a hot melt adhesive; one or more layers of solder; one or more perforated metal electrodes comprising openings filled with the solder; and one or more support elements. The ultrasonic detector may also comprise one or more casing elements operable to enclose and house the other elements of the ultrasonic detector; a printed circuit board (PCB) operable to receive ultrasonic data from the piezoelectric element and electrodes, wherein the electrodes connect to, or contact, the PCB; and an insulator located in proximity to the electrodes, and operable to prevent shorting between the metal electrodes and the metal casing elements.
