Abstract: A corrugated pipe connection device for a continuous section at the top of a continuous T-shaped beam bridge pier. The connection device includes a combined steel pipe telescopic device and a corrugated pipe connector, the interiors being hollow; the connector includes a first clamping member for clamping a wall surface of a corrugated pipe; one end of the telescopic device is a second clamping member with the same structure as the first; the other end is a telescopic steel pipe which is telescopic in the length direction; and the telescopic steel pipe is connected to the connector. The device replaces a corrugated pipe between two T-shaped beams, thereby avoiding problems such as breakage and slurry leakage caused by an original construction mode. The device can stretch out and draw back according to a distance between the T-shaped beams, and steel strands can be stranded by means of a stranding machine.

Abstract: An optical network has an optical splitter connected to (1) a working optical subscriber unit (OSU) of a working circuit via a working optical fiber, (2) a protection OSU of a protection circuit via a protection optical fiber, and (3) one or more optical network terminals (ONTs). The present invention enables fast protection switching from the working OSU to the protection OSU. In one embodiment, the arrival times of corresponding upstream ranging reply PLOAM cells are measured at both the working and protection OSUs during ranging operations of the working OSU. In another embodiment, a cell delineation procedure is initiated at the protection OSU during normal, non-ranging operations of the working OSU to enable the protection OSU to correctly delineate upstream cells and the arrival times of corresponding upstream cells are then measured at both the working and protection OSUs.

Abstract: An optical network has an optical splitter connected to (1) a working optical subscriber unit (OSU) of a working circuit via a working optical fiber, (2) a protection OSU of a protection circuit via a protection optical fiber, and (3) one or more optical network terminals (ONTs), where the protection OSU has a protection burst mode receiver (BMR) configured to receive an upstream optical signal from the optical splitter. The algorithm determines whether the protection OSU is functioning improperly. A reset pulse is applied at the protection BMR at a particular timing position and an attempt is made to interpret the current upstream cell received at the protection BMR. This process is repeated using different timing positions for the BMR reset pulse until the current upstream cell is correctly interpreted, e.g., based on the correct identification of an ATM header error correction (HEC) byte in the upstream cell.

The present invention enables fast protection switching from the working circuit to the protection circuit. The arrival times of corresponding downstream cells are measured at both the working and protection LT units of the ONT, and information related to the arrival times is transmitted from the ONT to the protection OSU.
