摘要:
An indicator for emitting a light is provided, the indicator comprising a plate-shaped member which has a stress-concentrating section for causing stress concentration, and a stress-transmitting section for transmitting, to the stress-concentrating section, a stress generated due to an external force; wherein the stress-concentrating section is provided with a stress light-emitting section which is formed of a stress light-emitting material that emits the light in response to a change of the stress. The stress-concentrating section can be arranged such that the stress-concentrating section is not hidden by a finger when the force is applied to the indicator with the finger or the like. The visibility of the light emission can be secured by the light emission effected by the stress light-emitting material applied to the stress-concentrating section which is not hidden by the finger.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fiber optic sensor having measuring sensitivity higher than before and using guided acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering light. SOLUTION: The fiber optic sensor includes: a light source for outputting testing light; at least one optical fiber for measurement; and a detection means. The at least one optical fiber is made of quartz glass, includes a core part and a cladding part having an outer diameter of 90 μm or less formed in the outer circumference of the core part, receives the testing light at least at one end part, and outputs guided acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering light generated by the testing light from the other end part. The detection means receives the guided acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering light outputted from the optical fiber for measurement, measures the peak frequency of the guided acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering light on its frequency spectrum, and detects the ambient temperature of the optical fiber for measurement or stress on the optical fiber for measurement on the basis of a measured peak frequency.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately measure a pressing force using a pressure-sensitive paper sheet.SOLUTION: A pressure-sensitive member is overlapped on a surface where a terminal provided in a connected body is disposed, and a pressing force measuring member comprising a surface contact part is overlapped on the surface where the terminal of the connected body is disposed in such a manner as to hold the pressure-sensitive member between the pressing force measuring member and the connected body. Therefore, the surface contact part and the terminal are opposed to each other, and the pressure-sensitive member is pressed via the surface contact part by a terminal contact part of a connected body read/write device.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To segregate and detect stresses applied from a body in a plurality of directions (normal direction, shear direction) with a comparatively simple structure. SOLUTION: In an FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor 22, a stress direction converter 30 includes a flat portion 32 to which stresses are applied from the exterior, and stress transmitting sections 34a, 34b bridged from the flat portion 32 to an optical fiber cable 20. An inclined portion 40b of the optical fiber cable 20 through which reflected light reflected by gratings 26 is transmitted is disposed along an inclined portion 36 constituting the stress transmitting section 34b.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a distributed type optical fiber pressure sensor system, capable of exactly measuring a lateral pressure applied to an optical fiber and coping with such a detection object having a long zone.SOLUTION: A system S includes the optical fiber 10; an elliptical tube 20, in which a pressure sensor section 11 of the optical fiber 10 is fit; a light source 30 into which test light is made incident from the one end 101 side of the optical fiber 10; an optical circulator 40; and a heterodyne receiver 50 for measuring reflected light of the test light. The outer circumferential surface of the optical fiber 10 is brought into contact with or comes in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the elliptic tube 20 in the minor-axis direction. Meanwhile, the inner diameter of the elliptic tube 20 in the major-axis direction has a dimension sufficiently longer than the outer diameter of the optical fiber 10. When a pressure is applied from the outside to the elliptic tube 20 in the minor-axis direction, the pressure is substantially transmitted to the optical fiber 10, thereby applying the lateral pressure to the optical fiber 10.
