DETERIORATION DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM, DETERIORATION DISCRIMINATION APPARATUS, AND DETERIORATION DISCRIMINATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18022955 Titled 'DETERIORATION DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM, DETERIORATION DISCRIMINATION APPARATUS, AND DETERIORATION DISCRIMINATION METHOD'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a system that can detect and discriminate the deterioration of a utility pole. The system includes an optical fiber cable that is laid in the pole, a communication unit that receives optical signals from the fibers in the cable, a detection unit that detects vibrations in the pole based on the received signals, and a discrimination unit that determines the deterioration of the pole based on the frequency of the detected vibrations during a specified period.
Original Abstract Submitted
A deterioration discrimination system according to the present disclosure includes: an optical fiber cable () configured to be laid in a utility pole (); a communication unit () configured to receive an optical signal from optical fibers () included in the optical fiber cable (); a detection unit () configured to detect, based on the optical signal received by the communication unit (), vibrations that are generated in the utility pole (); and a discrimination unit () configured to discriminate, based on a vibration frequency of the vibrations that are generated during a specified period among the vibrations that are detected by the detection unit (), deterioration of the utility pole ().
