  • Patent number: 11598822
    Abstract: A leakage voltage detection system can be easily mounted on a ground structure such as an existing street light or a traffic light and can detect a leakage voltage of an electric structure in real time. The leakage voltage detection system includes a sensor node mounted on a ground structure, and an equipment management server that determines a risk of a leakage voltage in the ground structure based on detection voltage information from the sensor node. The sensor node includes an electric field probe that measures a potential difference caused by an electric field detected by electrodes, and a sensor box that detects the potential difference between the electrodes of the electric field probe and transmits the potential difference to the equipment management server as a detection voltage.

  • Patent number: 9766330
    Abstract: A speed sensor which aligns a normal direction of one patch antenna which is disposed on a mounted board, and an optical axis of a dielectric lens uses a frame for inclining a sensor module, in order to obtain a component cos ? in a traveling direction when the speed sensor is installed on a horizontally vertical surface of an automobile or a railway car. When beams are condensed by using the one patch antenna and the cannonball-shaped dielectric lens, the dielectric lens is inclined and a bottom surface portion of the lens is cut with a plane parallel with a surface of the antenna-mounted board. The one patch antenna is configured by one patch and a GND electrode and the gain center of radiation characteristics is a normal direction of the antenna board. However, the radiation characteristics have a substantially hemisphere surface wave shape.
