Partial discharge acoustic detection is an important monitoring tool for power transformer diagnosis, which was traditionally performed by mounting the piezoelectric transducers on the oil tank ...

Fiber optic sensors on similar locations on phase A, B and C give almost identical results indicating a uniform oil circulation in each phase. The differences between phases may be attributable to oil ...

Fiber drones, an idea DARPA developed for its Close Combat Lethal Recon drone in the early 2000’s but never fielded, solve the radio reception problem. The drone pays out a fiber-optic ...

Additional fiber optic sensors were added to the AgilePod’s structure to test FOSS for future aeroacoustics and environmental tests, despite lacking reference sensors for comparison.

The invention of optical fibers has revolutionized not only telecommunications but also sensing technology. Optical fiber sensors can measure strain, temperature, pressure, and many other physical ...

Fiber optic smart pants offer a low-cost way to monitor movements New smart textiles could be used to track various types of physical activities in the clinic or at home Date: June 28, 2023 Source ...

Currently being developed by a team at the University of South Australia, the sensor consists of a thin, inexpensive optical fiber, several of which are embedded in the surface of the bed's mattress.

Fiber-optic sensors detecting glucose via its effects on refractive index are potentially smaller, easy to handle and non-invasive, and could provide a new way to take precise online sugar ...

In its current form, the sapphire fiber sensor measures just a centimeter (0.4 in) long, but the researchers believe developing versions of several meters in length is entirely possible.
