BRANCHING DEVICE, OPTICAL SUBMARINE CABLE SYSTEM, AND POWER SUPPLY METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222265 titled 'BRANCHING DEVICE, OPTICAL SUBMARINE CABLE SYSTEM, AND POWER SUPPLY METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a branching device for power supply paths connecting trunk stations to a branch station.

  • The branching device has three power reception ports connected to different power supply paths.
  • A power supply unit supplies power to the branch station via the third power reception port from either the first or second power supply path.

Potential Applications

The branching device can be used in telecommunications networks, data centers, and power distribution systems.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently branching power supply paths from trunk stations to branch stations. 2. Simplifying the power distribution process in network systems.

Benefits

1. Improved power supply management. 2. Enhanced reliability of power distribution. 3. Flexibility in routing power to different stations.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing power distribution in telecommunications networks for improved efficiency and reliability.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing branching devices for power supply paths in telecommunications or power distribution systems, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the branching device handle power surges or fluctuations in the supply paths?

The patent application does not mention how the branching device manages power fluctuations or surges to ensure stable power supply to the branch station.

What is the size and weight of the branching device, and how does it compare to existing solutions in the market?

The abstract does not provide information on the physical characteristics of the branching device, making it unclear how it compares to other similar devices in terms of size and weight.


Original Abstract Submitted

A branching device to be used for branching a power supply path connecting a first trunk station and a second trunk station to a branch station, the branching device including: a first power reception port being connected with a first power supply path connected to the first trunk station; a second power reception port being connected with a second power supply path connected to the second trunk station; a third power reception port being connected with a third power supply path connected to the branch station; and a power supply unit configured to supply, via the third power reception port, power to the third power supply path by power supply from at least either of the first power supply path and the second power supply path.
