Abstract:
An electrical cable includes a conductor and a couple of mica tapes surrounding the conductor. The couple of mica tapes are formed of a first mica tape and a second mica tape wound around the first mica tape. Each of the first and the second mica tape includes a mica layer attached to a backing layer. The mica layer of the first mica tape faces and contacts the mica layer of the second mica tape.
Abstract:
The flexible optical-fiber ribbon can be reversibly adapted to both planar and non-planar shapes (e.g., packed via folding or rolling) without damaging the optical-fiber ribbon or its constituent optical fibers.
Abstract:
An assembly for electrical splice connection of cables may include: a first connector, including a first spigot and first crimping portion, configured to be crimped onto a first cable conductor; a second connector, including a second spigot and second crimping portion, configured to be crimped onto a second cable conductor; a first open shell configured to accommodate the first and second spigots; and/or a second open shell configured to be fastened to the first open shell to wrap and hold the first and second spigots. A method for electrical splice connection of the cables may include: crimping the first crimping portion onto the first cable conductor; crimping the second crimping portion onto the second cable conductor; accommodating the first and second spigots on the first open shell; and/or fastening the second open shell to the first open shell to wrap and hold the first and second spigots.
Abstract:
A partial discharge signals processing method includes: setting a first discrimination criterion among the following criteria: discharge signals acquisition, discharge signals noise filtering, and discharge signals classification; providing a plurality of pulse waveforms associated with detected partial discharge waveform signals; defining at least a first reference pulse waveform in accordance with the first criterion; performing a first training of a neural network module based on the at least a first reference pulse waveform to produce a similarity index adapted to selectively assume a first value and a second value representative of a similarity/non similarity of an input pulse waveform with the at least a first reference pulse waveform, respectively; comparing the plurality of pulse waveforms with the at least a first reference pulse waveform by means of the neural network module to obtain first similarity index values; and memorizing/rejecting each compared pulse waveform on the basis of the obtained first similarity index values and on the second discrimination criterion.
Abstract:
Automated tightener for a wet mateable connection assembly includes a first and a second watertight case, the automated tightener bearing a fixing assembly and including a first and a second sliding portion arranged in a parallel lay, connected together by a push/pull actuator substantially orthogonal thereto, each sliding portion being provided with operable engagers.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an optical fibre preform comprising: providing a glass core rod comprising a central core region of radius a and an inner clad region of external radius b to define a first core-to-clad ratio a/b; forming an intermediate glass preform comprising an intermediate clad region surrounding the inner clad region of the glass rod and having an external radius c to define a second core-to-clad ratio a/c, and overcladding the intermediate glass preform by forming an overclad region surrounding the intermediate clad region to form an optical fibre preform, wherein the first core-to-clad ratio a/b is equal to or less than 0.40 and the second core-to-clad ratio a/c is of from 0.20 to 0.25.
Abstract:
A method of coloring optical fibers during the optical fiber drawing that includes the steps of feeding a natural fiber coating material and a colorant to a mixer; mixing the natural fiber coating material and the colorant in the mixer to obtain a colored coating material; and supplying the colored coating material to a coating die. The feeding step includes exerting on the natural fiber coating a first gas pressure variable with at least one fiber drawing parameter; and exerting on the colorant a second gas pressure variable with at least one fiber drawing parameter.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for generating electric energy in an electric power transmission system includes an AC cable including a core, wherein a portion of the core is partially surrounded by an apparatus including a ferromagnetic body and an electrically conducting winding. The ferromagnetic body extends along a longitudinal axis and has, in a cross section taken along said longitudinal axis, a shape defined by an arc. The electrically conducting winding is wound around the ferromagnetic body to form turns in planes substantially perpendicular to the arc.
Abstract:
Provided herein are a telecommunications enclosure and a method for coupling a cable to a cable port of the telecommunications enclosure. The base comprises an outer structure having an inner opening, and an inner assembly comprising an inner structure, adapted to be removably inserted within the inner opening, and a plurality of sealing modules, each comprising a first part and a second part.
