3.3 DEMERITS Cost comes first in considering the demerits of optical fiber networks. Despite of the fact that the cost for fiber is dropping by 60% per year and is beneficial in long run, its initial installation cost is still high and is not affordable to all vendors. Per unit cost of fiber cable is more than that of copper cable. Secondly, as the technology is still new and improvising, it requires skilled manpower for its installation, operation and maintenance. Further it requires new…

Implementation of optical fiber sensor in biomedical Optical fiber sensor for biomedical application Applications for biomedical sensors can be named in vivo or in vitro. In vivo alludes to application on an entire, living life form, for example, a human patient; in vitro alludes to testing outside the body, for example, research facility blood tests. From the point of view of how sensors are connected to a patient or organic framework, they can be named noninvasive, reaching (skin surface),…

more secure. People are able to send international calls with no delay and stream videos in New Zealand that are based on servers in Europe with minimal loading time. In military uses the cables offer a substitute for copper cables used in the past. Optical fibre technology has also been seen to be…

Introduction Structural health monitoring systems (SHMS) incorporates mechanical and electronic systems in inspection and maintenance of bridge performance. A SHMS evaluates structural condition by monitoring loadings and other parameters. The results can then be used to plan and perform inspection activities. The evaluations further highlight the damages, their extent and modification. The system comprises of six integrated modules which are: • Module 1 - the sensory system, • Module 2 - the…

in size must always result in better performance. Fiber optics proves to be highly effective in its high bandwidth, as it allows on a single fiber to send lots of information/data. Fiber optics carry information between 2 places using entirely optical (light-based) technology. To send information using fiber optics, (eg: a computer) lasers within the computer will convert electrical information…

Optical Fibres By Jaydan Fibre optics are wires made of pure strands of glass or plastic spliced together (weaved together). These wires are as thin as strands of hair so their can be millions of them in a fibre optic cable. The wires are in bundles called optical cables and are used to transmit digital information over long distances. Fibre optics can be used for telecommunication, networking, decorations, endoscopy and much more because they are flexible, carry much more information than…

Technology Framework Design In this section, we combine the user domain needs described in Part 1 of this proposal, the physical framework requirements described in Part 2, and the technology selections described in Part 3 to create the final Digital Edge Manufacturing network infrastructure proposal. Choosing the Cabling Used in the Network We considered infrastructure costs, speed, and reliability for cabling and adaptors. Our network employed hybrid type of network sine we use Ethernet cable,…

titled “Balloon network with free-space optical communication between super-node balloons and RF communication between super-node and sub-node balloons” by Richard Wayne DEVAUL, Eric Teller, Clifford BIFFLE, and Josh Weaver discloses methods of communication in high altitude using tethered balloons via optical communication and RF communication to a ground station via RF communication (DeVaul, et al., 6 May 2014) . 3. Patent search US 7046934 B2 titled “Optical communication system using a…

Review of Literature Introduction: Optical illusions are usually described as visual images that differ from reality. The eyes and brain “sees” something that does not really match the physical measurement of the image. Optical illusions can function in many ways, they can be images that are different from the objects that make them up, they can also be ones that come from the effects on the eyes and brain through excessive stimulation, and others where the eye and brain creates unconscious…

Developmental change is an elementary fact of human life and the first three years are crucial for the individual. Each infant and/or toddler has a unique development path, yet each respective development process shares the same principles that have been outlined by years of psychological studies. By observing the substructures of development, one may gain an appreciation for life and a greater understanding of what is normal. Recently, I conducted an observation of my ten month old daughter,…
