  • Power supply system to terminal equipment through an optical fiber cable
    Patent number: 4325137
    Abstract: In a communication system between an exchange station and terminal equipment through an optical fiber cable, a power supply for operating the terminal equipment is supplied from the exchange station through the optical fiber cable in a form of an optical energy. The optical fiber cable is utilized both for transmitting a voice signal between terminal equipment and the exchange station, and for transmitting the power supply from the exchange station to terminal equipment on a time divisional basis. When the terminal equipment is inactive, the exchange station transmits no energy, or transmits intermittently an optical pulse. The duration that the optical pulse is transmitted when the terminal equipment is inactive, is less than 1/10 of the total time.

  • System for detecting an underwater buried cable
    Patent number: 4283681
    Abstract: A cable detecting system with a cable ship, a cable detector towed by said cable ship via a towing wire and said cable detector dredging the water bottom to find a buried cable, has been improved. When the cable detector detects a buried cable, and the cable is engaged with the cable detector, the towing wire between the cable ship and the cable detector is released either by drawing out a wire from the cable ship or by extending an auxiliary wire from the cable detector, thus, the cable detector stops just when a cable is detected, even when the cable ship continues to move by inertia, and no damage is caused to the cable. The presence of a cable is sensed either through a mechanical means which detects the cable by contact between the cable and the detector, or through electromagnetic means. The detection of a cable triggers the above release of the towing wire.
