Method to communicate and signal overheating and fire in a plane

The method involves laying at least one sensor (3-5) consisting of a glass fiber cable immediately close to an object (6) to be monitored and connecting it at least one end to a computer (1) interface (2). Short laser pulses are transmitted into the sensor cable under computer control, reflection si...

More Information
Summary:The method involves laying at least one sensor (3-5) consisting of a glass fiber cable immediately close to an object (6) to be monitored and connecting it at least one end to a computer (1) interface (2). Short laser pulses are transmitted into the sensor cable under computer control, reflection signals are received and compared with a signal with a reflection transition time dependent on the length of the cable.
