    摘要: A hybrid sensor assembly is configured to be mounted on a vehicle to sense structure borne and airborne noises generated as the vehicle travels over the roads. The sensor assembly includes a housing having a circuit board mounted therein, an accelerometer mounted on the circuit board, a microphone mounted on the circuit board, an acoustic port through the housing and in communication with the microphone, and an acoustic fabric attached to the housing over the port. An acoustic shield covers the acoustic port and substantially deters the entry of fluid and debris into the acoustic port.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for identifying and monitoring connections in an optical system. A plurality of optical ports is configured to receive a plurality of optical links that couple with one or more remote optical devices. At least one light source generates identification (ID) signals. At least one optical element configured to direct the ID signals into transmission paths from the source optical device to the remote optical device/s over the plurality of optical links. The remote optical device/s include one or more optical elements that direct the ID signals through a set of WDM filters and returns the ID signals. At least one optical element directs returned ID signals to an optical channel monitor. At least one microprocessor configured to execute control instructions to generate the ID signals and process one or more outputs of the optical channel monitor in response to the returned ID signals to identify the plurality of optical links.
