IPC: H02H1/00
Filed: 2003-02-12
Abstract: Arcing faults in an electric power system are detected by sensors (1, 1')
powered by the light generated by the arcing even in the presence of background
light. The sensors (1, 1') have one or more first photovoltaic cells (5) energized by
light passed through a first filter (7) having a passband which includes a characteristic
wavelength of the arcing material to generate a sensed light electrical signal. One or
more second photovoltaic cells (11) are energized by light filtered by a second filter
(13) having a passband not including the characteristic wavelength to generate a
background light electrical signal. These two electrical signals are applied in
opposition to an LED (17) which is turned on when arcing is present. The light signal
from the LED (17) is transmitted through an optic fiber (29) to a photoelectric circuit
(25), which generates an arcing signal when energized. The LED (17) may be biased
toward the on condition by unfiltered additional photovoltaic cells (21).

Abstract: The mechanical underground car parks under streets and pedestrian areas are constructed
along the street, they consist of supporting walls, floor and roof of reinforced concrete,
which form tunnels (1), (2), and (3) and they are used as an underground parking space for
parking cars by mechanical means. 
     In all the cases, the car enters the enclosure (10) on the street level and passes through the
rectangular opening that lies on the enclosure floor, descends inside the tunnel (1) by the
assistance of a lever system (8) or elevator. 
     In the first case (fig. 1 and 2), the car is positioned on the platform (7) and then placed
upon the trailer (6), which moves on the rails (5) to the first available vacant parking space
inside the tunnels (1) and (2), after that, by the assistance of a lever system (9) or elevator,
the platform with the car descends and is placed on the floor of the tunnel, and simultaneously
the trailer (6) is released. For exiting the car park, the reversed procedure is followed.
In the second case, that concerns fig.3, the continuous movement of a unique system of
trailer-platforms (6) and (7) is used. The trailer-platforms (6) and (7) move continuously
on two series of rails (5) that are found on different levels inside the tunnel (1) (fig.3), and
by the assistance of a lever system (9) or elevator at both ends of the tunnel (1), they pass
from one level to the other. During exiting the car park, the reversed procedure is followed.
