  • Publication number: 20220260735
    Abstract: A nuclear reaction detection device includes an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) 100 which is arranged in an environment in which particle radiation is incident, and includes a user circuit 101 configured to output a value different from that in a normal state, if an SEU (Single Event Upset) occurs in a semiconductor element included in the FPGA, and an SEF detection unit 210 which detects that an abnormal operation (SEF) has occurred in the user circuit based on the output value from the user circuit 101 of the FPGA 100.

  • Patent number: 7792430
    Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic power restoring method capable of reliably detecting continuity by the dissolution of a line fault, to restore the optical power, even in a structure including an optical amplification medium on an optical transmission path and an optical communication system using the method. To this end, in an optical communication system to which the automatic power restoring method of the invention is applied, a pilot signal having a low transmission rate, a wavelength of which is set based on loss wavelength characteristics obtained by combining loss wavelength characteristics of an optical fiber used for the optical transmission path and loss wavelength characteristics of the optical amplification medium on the optical transmission path, is transmitted and received between an optical transmitting station and an optical receiving station when a line fault occurs, and a detection of continuity is thus performed.
