  • Publication number: 20240097375
    Abstract: An outer end cap for sealing a connection end of an electrical connector includes a cover section covering an end face of the connection end and a collar section attached to the connection end. The cover section has a through-hole receiving a sensor cable of a sensor. The cover section and the collar section jointly form a receptacle receiving the connection end. An interior surface of the receptacle has a semi-conductive material. A connector seal is formed on the interior surface of the receptacle and a cable seal is formed in the through-hole.

  • Patent number: 8242767
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting changes in an interval of time (?T) between an optical or electrical signal and an optical or electrical reference signal using a photodetector. The method may be used to synchronize an optical or electrical signal with an optical or electrical reference signal. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: receiving the optical signal and the optical reference signal by means of the photodetector, outputting an electrical response signal at an output of the photodetector, the electrical response signal having a frequency spectrum which depends on the interval of time (?T), filtering a selected harmonic from the frequency spectrum of the electrical response signal which has been output, and detecting changes in the interval of time (?T) from changes in the amplitude of the selected harmonic.
