  • Publication number: 20110184673
    Abstract: A method for fault location is provided which can accurately perform a fault location process by a simple and direct calculation without requiring no synchronization of terminals. Data relating to the voltage and the current (vector quantity) at opposite ends of a power transmission line section to be located and a transmission line constant set in advance are used. When the distance x from a designated terminal A to a fault point F is an unknown quantity, the distance x can be calculated by solving a quadratic equation obtained by taking as the fault point a point where values of the second power of a fault point voltage in a fault phase when viewed from opposite ends of the section to be located are equal to each other.

  • Patent number: 6833538
    Abstract: In a focusing state determining device for determining a focusing state of a taking lens, an object light entering the taking lens is captured by focusing state determination imaging elements provided separately from a video imaging element, and the focusing state is determined according to luminance signals outputted from the focusing state determination imaging elements. Any error of determination of the focusing state induced by saturation of the luminance signals in imaging an object of high luminance is prevented by adjusting the gains of the image signals outputted from the focusing state determination imaging elements or the charge accumulation times of the focusing state determination imaging elements. High-frequency components are determined from the luminance signals obtained from the focusing state determination imaging elements (A, B, C), and the focus evaluation value is determined by integration thereof.

  • Patent number: 6822801
    Abstract: A beam splitter (24)for splitting light in a wavelength range of about 500 nm to about 600 nm is arranged in a relay optical system of a taking lens (12). A green light beam reflected from the beam splitter (24) is directed through a relay lens (R3) to a focusing state determination imaging unit (26). The imaging unit (26) comprises three imaging elements (A, B, C) for capturing the directed green light beam to determine the focusing state. Thus, a device for determining the focusing state of the taking lens is provided, in which the green light beam is separated as an object light for determining the focusing state from the object light entering the taking lens (12), so that the focusing state can be determined with high accuracy on the basis of the high-frequency components of the image signal generated by capturing the green light beam by means of the imaging elements (A, B, C) having different optical path lengths.
