Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) systems, methods, and structures that advantageously sense/monitor outdoor facilities and structures including outdoor cabinets containing fiber optic facilities in which the cabinet/fiber optic cable contained therein are configured to provide superior acoustic sensing. Further outdoor facilities and structures that are monitored include manhole structures. Superior DFOS/DAS monitoring results are obtained by employing a machine learning-based analysis method that employs a temporal relation network (TRN).

Abstract: According to one example embodiment, a light-transmission-path-spectrum measurement device includes: a wavelength varying OTDR measurement unit that varies and generates a wavelength of measurement light to be transmitted to a first light transmission path, and also measures return light acquired from the measurement light being returned, by a repeater connected to the first light transmission path, via a second light transmission path connected to the repeater; an optical signal multiplexing unit that selects the wavelength of the measurement light being generated by the wavelength varying OTDR measurement unit, and outputs the selected wavelength to the first light transmission path; a control unit that controls the wavelength of the measurement light being generated by the wavelength varying OTDR measurement unit and the wavelength of the measurement light being selected by the optical signal multiplexing unit; and a measurement data processing unit.

Abstract: A memory control device of the present invention controls a memory that includes multiple bank groups each including multiple banks. The memory control device includes a request buffer configured to store memory requests to be issued to the banks, a bank busy manager configured to manage busy states of the banks, a bank group checker configured to, for each of the banks, manage the number of banks in not-busy state of the banks in each of the bank groups, a bank group determination unit configured to determine a bank group to which a memory request is issued, on the basis of the numbers of the banks in not-busy state in the respective bank groups, and a request issuer configured to issue the memory request in the request buffer to a bank in the determined bank group.

Abstract: A probe 19 illuminates and enlargingly images the coupling end face of the optical connector 1a. An attachment 2 disposes the coupling end face of the optical connector 1a on the optical axis of the probe 19 and causes the coupling end face of the optical connector to be focused in a position inside the probe. A monitor unit 20 monitors the image of the state of the coupling end face of the optical connector 1a obtained by enlarging imaging by the probe 19.
