    摘要: Systems and methods for extending the range of a fiber optic DTS system are provided. In one respect, a method may provide steps for transmitting, in a first time period, an optical signal at a first energy level through an optical fiber, collecting backscatter signals as a result of the first transmission, adjusting the first energy level to a second energy level, transmitting, in an additional time period, the adjusted optical signal through the optical fiber, collecting backscatter signals as a result of the adjusted transmissions, and using a portion of the collected backscatter as a result of the first transmission and a portion of the collected backscatter as a result of the additional transmissions, determining one or more parameter profiles, such as a temperature profile.

    摘要: A cylindrical fabric surround including a flexible fabric material which stretches during disposing of the surround over a cylindrical item, such as a bottle, causing a releasable attachment of the bottle surround with the bottle. This cylindrical fabric surround has a cylindrical, or annular surround geometry, whereby a cavity is formed therein by the internal wall of the cylindrical surround, providing a receptacle area or volume for any cylindrical item the cylindrical surround is disposed thereunto. The internal wall of the cavity provides a first wall of the cylindrical surround and the external wall of the cylindrical surround provides a second wall of the cylindrical surround. The surround also has at least one pocket, for storing at least one article, such as a phone, keys or any sundry. The pocket is generally facing upwards, but could have a plurality of pockets with at least one of with varied geometries, orientations, or placement. Bands, such as elastic bands, may be formed thereon the top and bottom of the cylinder, as well as on the top portion of the pocket surface to provide a portion of the releasable attachment to the bottle. The bands may have a diameter that is less than surround wall diameter to provide in the releasable attachment. A friction agent, such as a nonslip fabric coating, may also be applied to the first wall or inside diameter of the surround to aid in improving the releasable attachment of a cylindrical item, such as a bottle, with a first wall of the fabric cylinder surround apparatus 100 when disposed thereunto.

    摘要: A safety shut-off system and method for eliminating power to a load in the event of smoke detection. The system may comprise a device located at the appliance for detecting a signal from a smoke detector, and cutting power to the appliance only when the appliance is in use. The device may be synchronized with any standard smoke alarm signal to reduce the number of false positive shut-offs. The system may also comprise a smoke alarm hard-wired to a circuit breaker, for shutting off power to all appliances on a particular breaker upon receipt of a signal from the smoke alarm, and only when the appliances on the breaker are in use. The system may also have the ability to shut off one breaker, multiple breakers, or all breakers at different time increments to actively prevent and reduce the damages caused by fires.
