Abstract: A human-powered underwater propulsor for user's moving in water mainly has a power generating module provided within a receiving space inside a waterproof airbag, and the power generating module is coupled to a propulsion unit. The receiving space is formed with an opening end provided with a waterproof ring to be worn by user in such a manner that the receiving space is hermetically sealed to prevent water from entering the receiving space during diving. When user pedals by stepping on two pedals of the power generating module, the power generating module is actuated to cause the flapping of the propulsion unit. Hence, the human-powered underwater propulsor allows user to exercise his feet in the air to reduce drag in diving so that user can moves more easily in the water.

Abstract: A method for measuring dispersion in an optical fiber is provided and includes the following steps. A periodic wavelength variation pulse light signal is generated by a periodic frequency-swept pulse light source, in which the periodic wavelength variation pulse light signal has periodic wavelength variations. The periodic wavelength variation pulse light signal is transmitted into a test optical fiber. The periodic wavelength variation pulse light signal propagating through the test optical fiber is detected to generate a sensing signal. The sensing signal is transformed into an RF spectrum to obtain a slow periodic pulse timing variation of the periodic wavelength variation pulse light signal in accordance with the RF spectrum. A dispersion value of the test optical fiber is obtained in accordance with the slow periodic pulse timing variation. A system for measuring dispersion in a fiber is also disclosed herein.
