  • Patent number: 12007298
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber test method, an optical fiber test apparatus, and a program, capable of detecting a boundary of an optical fiber line facility regardless of a change in a noise amount. A change amount (a differential value) of an OTDR waveform increases toward a distal end due to noise effects, making it difficult to determine a boundary of the optical fiber using the change amount. Therefore, in the present invention, a dispersion of the OTDR waveform, which increases toward a distal end due to noise effects, is also used to determine the boundary of the optical fiber. In other words, in the present invention, the noise amount is expressed by the dispersion, and the dispersion is compared with the change amount such as a differential value as a threshold, to determine the boundary of the optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 12008468
    Abstract: Each of learning nodes calculates gradients of a loss function from an output result obtained by inputting learning data to a learning target neural network, converts a calculation result into a packet, and transmits the packet to a computing interconnect device. The computing interconnect device receives the packet transmitted from each of the learning nodes, acquires a value of the gradients stored in the packet, calculates a sum of the gradients, converts a calculation result into a packet, and transmits the packet to each of the learning nodes. Each of the learning nodes receives the packet transmitted from the computing interconnect device and updates a constituent parameter of a neural network based on a value stored in the packet.
