Cooling control of power transformers is traditionally provided by a winding temperature indicator (WTI) that is based on a measurement of the top-oil temperature and a simulation of the winding ...

Fiber-optic internet relies on long, thin strands (fibers) of glass or plastic which send data through light signals. As a result, you'll get the most reliable and fast internet connection -- far ...

An innovative company has done away with the one-size-fits-all model, with a chair that is more like a furniture Transformer, letting you adapt it to your needs, rather than you having to adapt to it.

Abstract: This article presents a portable optical fiber sensor (OFS) design for continuous liquid level measurement, fabricated using two pieces of bare polymer optical fibers (POFs). The proposed ...

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Someone keeps damaging fiber optic internet cables in south-central Kansas, causing tens of thousands in damage. The Reno County Sheriff’s Office posted Tuesday about a ...

However, the small core diameter of the fiber may slow down gas entry ... commonly used technologies for DGA in transformer oil. Non-optical gas sensing technologies have several inherent drawbacks: 1 ...

In this paper, a dual-pulse heterodyne distributed acoustic sensor (DAS) system using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based fiber ring laser (FRL) is proposed. Unlike the previous DAS system ...

The most important parameter in a transformer’s life cycle relies on the certainty of the winding’s hot spot(s) value through the transformer’s lifetime. Fiber optic sensors are an excellent and ...

While we clearly don’t know much about the hopefully upcoming technology, we do know that it is optically based, which means that it could be incorporated alongside the existing optical sensors ...
