Filed: 2017-12-12
Abstract: A method and system used to obtain a connection between at least two optical signal nodes of a Free Space Optical (FSO) communication system, each node comprising a transmitting device and receiving device. A first diverged optical signal 306 is transmitted via the transmitting device of a first node 100 into an optical medium and is received at the receiving device of a second node 300. The transmitting device of the second node transmits a second diverged signal to the receiving device of the first node to establish a location of the first node and a connection. After establishment of the connection the first node switches from the diverged optical signal to a narrower optical signal 700 for the transmission of data via the connection. The invention may be used in underwater optical communications for example between submarines. The invention seeks to improve efficiency in FSO communication systems.

Title: Examining objects with electric fields
Inventor: HRAND MAMI MAMIGONIANS
IPC: G01R27/26
Filed: 2018-12-04
Abstract: Using electric fields to examine objects, wherein an object 203 may be arranged on an examination apparatus 202. The apparatus has a number of electrodes 201. A first electrode is energised and a second electrode is monitored, thus forming a capacitively coupled electrode pair. Next, the first electrode is again excited and now a third electrode is monitored. This process can be repeated for all electrodes, in each permutation exciting the first electrode and probing one of the remaining electrodes. The order can be reversed so that the nth electrode is excited and all of the n minus one electrodes sequentially probed (Fig. 32). The electrodes can carry out both an exciting or monitoring function. This method allows probing the object with electric fields of different ranges. The wider the gap between the excited and probed electrodes, the deeper the electric field penetrates the object.
