  • Patent number: 11984925
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus includes a first communication unit, a second communication unit, a detection unit, a control unit, and a selection unit. The first communication unit uses a first path for communication, when electric power is supplied. The second communication unit uses a second path for communication, when electric power is supplied. The detection unit detects a fault predictive sign. The control unit supplies no electric power to the second communication unit when the detection unit does not detect the fault predictive sign.

  • Publication number: 20240151058
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a utility pole and a method for constructing the utility pole, which can simplify and improve efficiency of work at the time of new construction and replacement and can shorten a work period. The anchor has a larger diameter than a body of a utility pole on the ground and has higher ground support force. Thus, the hole for building the assembly type utility pole on the ground can be made shallower than the hole for building the utility pole in related art on the ground. The depth of the hole is shallow, so that it is possible to reduce a period for digging, reduce a probability of hitting a buried object, and reduce work for confirming a buried object. In addition, the assembly type utility pole includes a plurality of parts, and thus, only a degraded portion needs to be replaced, so that it is possible to shorten replacement work.
