Sensor uses POF cable and light to generate detection

[Category : - ELECTRONICS- MECHANICAL ENGINEERING- OTHER]
[Viewed 1951 times]

The sensor cable is provided comprising a deformable signal line for transmitting a signal based on light (for example led), and one or more rigid portions and one or more resilient portions for reversibly deforming the signal line in the cable under the influence of a varying external load on the cable and therewith affecting a signal transmission property of the signal line for transmitting the signal. A portion of the cable comprises an axis and a core extending along the axis, a portion of the signal line being helically wound around the core and the rigid and resilient portions being arranged for, under the influence of the varying external load on the sensor cable, reversibly deforming the signal line with respect to the axis.
The light signal gets influened by the deformation of the cable.
Together this forms a sensor useale underneath many surfaces to detect presence and/or weight. By multiple measurements (2000+) per second sensor is very accurate.
Sensor can be used at many enviroments.

Financial information

We are looking for a sale of this patent.
Market potential is upmost in road building enviroment for detection of (over)weight and presence.
Same sensor can be used in securtiy of premisses, sensor works even hidden under 30cm of ground to detect (unautorized) presence of people.
Sensor is build as OEM idea.

Sensor is also usable in Automotive, is used in patent EP13182537 to measure weight on car and truck suspension per wheel.
