    Abstract: A satellite relay communication system includes a central terminal. The central terminal includes a passive optical router and a multiplexer. The satellite relay communication system also includes remote terminals, each remote terminal including an optical transceiver configured to send optical signals to the passive optical router, configured to receive optical signals from the passive optical router, and configured to multiplex optical signals received from the passive optical router.

    Abstract: Optical-based apparatus and method for sensing parameters in connection with an asset, such as a pipeline, are provided. At least two sites in an optical fiber may include a respective fiber grating arranged to have a respective optical response in a wavelength spectrum having a distinguishing feature indicative of a value of a respective local parameter at a respective grating site. The two fiber gratings may be further arranged to form, in combination with a respective portion of the optical fiber which extends between the two sites, respective optical backscatter portions that when combined with one another are effective to sense an optical change in the fiber portion between the sites indicative of a value of a distributed parameter. This is a parameter modality different from a parameter modality of the respective local parameters at the respective grating sites.

    Abstract: A method for measuring shaft deflection in a turbomachine includes communicating one or more signals from a controller to a plurality of sensing devices positioned on a shaft of a turbomachine across an airgap defined between a rotating antenna positioned around the shaft and a stationary antenna aligned with the rotating antenna in a radial direction to excite the plurality of sensing devices; receiving a parameter of the shaft in a plurality of circumferentially spaced locations from the excited plurality of sensing devices; determining a magnitude of a deflection in the shaft as a function of the parameter of the shaft in the plurality of circumferentially spaced locations; and adjusting a startup sequence or a motoring sequence of the turbomachine based on the magnitude of the deflection

    Abstract: A system may include a substrate, a computing device that performs one or more edge processing operations disposed on the substrate, and an integrated photonic circuit that performs distributed acoustic sensing operations and is also disposed on the substrate. The integrated photonic circuit may include a light source, a circulator, and a photodiode. The light may transmit a first light pulse. The circulator may transmit the first light pulse to a fiber-optic cable. The circulator may also receive a back-scattered light pulse based at least in part on the first light pulse. The photodiode may receive at least a portion of the back-scattered light pulse. The photodiode may generate one or more electrical signals based at least in part on the portion of the back-scattered light pulse.
