Even through smoke, the Running with the Bears Marathon will be held this Saturday, Aug. 18. Unless the start line itself is on fire, the race will continue as planned.
Because many runners are dependent on the marathon as a Boston Marathon qualifier and since the registration is nonrefundable, organizer Josie Litchfield has decided to continue with the race.
Racers that are still deciding whether to run or not are urged to still make the drive to the start line and decide from there. The smoke conditions are constantly shifting in Indian Valley and there’s still a chance of clearer skies Saturday morning.
The race starts Saturday at 7 a.m. at the Goss family ranch, located at 4864 North Arm Road in Greenville. For more information, contact Josie Litchfield at (530) 284-7007 or http://www.runningwiththebears.org/.

|Interlock engineering for signalling within JBV
Reported by: Jernbaneverket
|For general information on use cases see UC:Use cases
Use case / Anwendungsfall
Interlock engineering for signalling within JBV; Stellwerkstechnik für die Signalisierung innerhalb von JBV
Description / Beschreibung
JBV intend to use this RailML interlocking scheme for both capacity simulations and transfer of correct data when engineering signalling systems. JBV would like in the future to use this RailML scheme for engineering of conventional signalling and ATP signalling as well as engineering of ERTMS.
The engineering process for JBV is as displayed in Figure 1. The base for the engineering is the overall operative rules and the overall technical design rules. These are compiled into the requirement specification. From these requirements the schematic layout and interlocking tables for a specific station are made, also taken operational requirements into consideration. After the layout and interlocking tables are finished, these are delivered to the supplier, and it is in this change of information we detect that lack in communication might occur. To standardize this information exchange would severely reduce risks that miscommunication occur, as well as risk that the system is misunderstood because of different signalling principles. The information from the supplier to JBV as the system is ready to could also be defined as a data exchange that would be useful to standardize. To digitalize this method would be beneficial to decrease cost and risk regarding human mistakes if information at any time is handled by humans.
The European Union has also required that all countries add their topology data into RINF(Railway infrastructure database). JBV has started this process, and it would be beneficial to link these two works together especially when gathering information regarding topology.
Future use case should handle integration towards 3D modelling for evaluation of e.g. sight distances.
Data Flows and Interfaces / Datenflüsse und Schnittstellen
This will show the interaction with data sources and sinks.
|Origin (as of today)
|Origin (possible in future)
|Track elements (signals, points, etc.
|schematic plan/interlocking table
|schematic layout/interlocking tables
|Signal aspect realtions
|Schematic plan of stations
|Schematic placement of boards
|schematic board plan
|interlocking tables/relay drawings
|Current installation of relays
|Installation of ATP balises
|Placement of catenary
|power supply plans
|Power supply plans
These points are needed for JBV to make a fully functional signalling system, and the knowledge about of how these are placed and work together is crucial to the systems functionality.
In the Norwegian track net the stations are classified into groups. To be able to select such a group and configure the toplogy would be useful.
Interference with other railML® schemas / Interferenz mit anderen railML®-Schemen
There is no description of this as of today.
If RailML is introduced, the system will need to be dependent on the infrastructure part, as the signalling system uses the elements in the infrastructure to ensure safety and make train routes. In Norway there are also dependencies between the infrastructure and the time table. That means that the train is not allowed to activate level crossings before the train routes is set based on the time table.
The timetable scheme will be dependent on the interlocking. If such a scheme is introduced the timetables might be dependent on the states of the interlocking to calculate the time used.
Characterizing Data / Charakterisierung der Daten
This section serves to specify the required data regarding certain aspects.
How often do the data change (update)?
The data change every time some work is done on a station or location along the line. There is a huge variation regarding how often the system will have to be updated.
How big are the data fragments to be exchanged (complexity)?
The most normal in Norway is that whenever a change is made to the signalling system, the entire station is updated. This is defined as one interlocking area in the conventional interlocking systems. There are most stations with two tracks in the Norwegian track net, although Oslo Central Station has 27 tracks and several branches of railway lines.
Which views are represented by the data (focus)?

Joe Lieberman, Senator from Connecticut (1989 – 2013), addressed at the 2nd Day of The Free Iran World Summit on July 12, 2021.
Thank you, dear friends, Mrs. Rajavi, a great leader, dear friend, greetings to you from not just myself, but my wife Adesa, who is your wonderful admirer, and to our friends in Ashraf 3 with whom we have had such meaningful visits. Thank you all very much, most of all, all support to the heroes of the resistance in Iran, and to our dear friends in the Iranian diaspora who support those heroes of their resistance. I am really honored to be asked to join you again today in the sacred cause of freedom, justice, human rights and economic opportunities for the people of Iran. And I am privileged to lead this particular section of this extraordinary program in which my colleagues and I will present and dissect and analyze solutions to the problems, the crisis in Iran that has been described so well over the last two and a half days.
I will tell you my conclusion first, there is only one solution that is left, that will work. And that is regime change in Iran. Everything else has been tried, it is obvious that the regime itself will not change. So, the people of Iran with the support of all of us outside of Iran must change the regime. Every other alternative that would end the regime’s brutal denial of the rights of its citizens, its support of terrorism and aggression in the region, its development of nuclear weapons, and the missiles to deliver them on close and distant nations and enemies, and its hatred stated over and over again of the United States, its Arab neighbors, Israel, and so much of the rest of the world, the only viable course of action left is resistance and revolution.
And I have never been more optimistic, my friends, that the regime in Iran is running at its core and is ready to fall. Iran’s economy is in a dismal shape and the people of Iran suffer because of the economic sanctions that are directed against their corrupt and violent leaders. These are leaders that spend more of their money on themselves and foreign terrorist groups than they do on the people of Iran.
The people have had enough, and like a giant awakening from a nightmare, they have had the courage now to go to the streets and protest and increasing numbers since November 2019. And in their recent elections, by voting with their feet by refused to go to the polls to participate in the election of a mass murderer, Raisi as the next President of Iran. In August of this year, instead of entering the presidential office in Tehran, Ebrahim Raisi should be led to the docket at the International Court in The Hague and charged with crimes against humanity. That is why I am proud to stand with Prime Minister Jansa of Slovenia, who quite correctly yesterday called for an international inquiry into the conduct of Mr. Raisi. In the elections that were held, the turnout out was by far the lowest since the revolution of 1979. Nationwide, by my calculation, about% 40% of the eligible voters voted, and in Tehran, it was about 20% of the eligible voters.
On the Friday before the elections at prayers in the city of Mashhad, a cleric pleaded with the people to vote, “If you do not vote,” he warned, “you are really voting for the MEK.” Well, by that standard, since most Iranians did not vote, he won the elections. And Mrs. Rajavi should be the next president of Iran.
The regime’s constant references and warnings about the MEK reveal its fear of the MEK and the NCRI. And it’s based on the fact that these organizations expose the regime’s worse behavior. Its secret of nuclear weapons program, its violent terrorist actions. The NCRI/MEK is clearly the most organized resistance, operation and organization in Iran. It’s the most competent and capable, and its leader, Mrs. Rajavi has not just been in pursuit of power, she has been in pursuit of power with a vision and values. Look at the 10-point plan Mrs. Rajavi put forward. it embraces the best of universal values of human rights and democratic government. It is shared by people throughout the world, and particularly by people here in the United States. And do not forget that the NCRI/MEK is committed to enabling the people of Iran to choose their leaders in a free election.
Now, for the sake of argument, what alternatives do regime change? Do others advocate for solving the terrible crisis in Iran? First is negotiations. Negotiations. How can world leaders, including America’s leaders rationally negotiate with a regime that has killed thousands of American citizens and citizens of our allies and citizens, of course, of Iran itself? How can we negotiate with a nation that has constantly proven itself incapable of keeping its democratic diplomatic promises? And how can we now possibly negotiate with a nation that has handpicked its next president, a mass murderer, who has regularly declared his hatred of the United States?
My friends, it is simply nonsense to think that we can negotiate with such a regime. We cannot. Others advocate as an alternative to regime change enabling and strengthening the moderates in Iran. What moderates? Where are the moderates? If they exist, they’re in jail and under house arrest. This moderate option has always been a cruel deception perpetrated by the real rulers of Iran, extremists, theocratic Khamenei and murderers and thieves of the IRGC.
The election of Raisi ends the game of Iranian moderation. As the Iranian people in their protests have chanted, “The game is over.” And that is why I believe the reality of Iran today, leaves the people of Iran with only one option for a better life for themselves and their children. And that is regime change. Of course, it will not be easy. Listen to what the American patriot Thomas Paine said at the time of America’s revolution. “Tyranny is not easily conquered. Yet we have this constellation. Well, the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. The American Revolution was a difficult conflict against the great world power. And yet, our victory in that revolution was glorious, as was the victory in the French Revolution, and in the last century, the victory of the Freedom Fighters over Soviet Communist tyranny.”
So, too, well, the victory of the people of Iran, over the tyranny in Tehran be glorious, and transformational. Each of us now who live outside Iran must decide and plan what we will do to support the Iranian resistance as it rises up in a revolution.” I want to speak plainly here in America, we should work to convince the Biden administration, that its own policies and values, which the person has said, are to put human rights and democracy promotion at the heart of our foreign policy, once again, must lead the administration to stop trying to negotiate with the evil government in Tehran, and start supporting the people of Iran who want to overthrow it.
President Biden’s commitment likewise to restore our alliances around the world and work again, with our allies and not with our enemies, should lead him to our allies in the region our our our allies, and Israel who have so much to lose in the negotiations with Iran that are now going on in Vienna, but are not at the table. They deserve to be consulted and given respect, much more respect than the tyrants in Tehran. And in America, President Biden’s lifetime record of bipartisanship, and his campaign commitment last year to bring bipartisanship back to our government in Washington, should convince him not to make any agreement with the regime in Tehran that does not have by partisan support in Congress.
My friends, I think, in Congress, it is now possible to put together a bipartisan resolution endorsing regime change in Iran. I hope it will be introduced and passed soon by the Congress of the United States. In some, the government of Iran is at its weakest point since 1979, and the opportunity for ending it is at its strongest. With the help of God, the courage of the Iranian people and support from all of us around the world, there can and will be a free democratic and non-nuclear republic in Iran soon in our time.
So, I’ll tell you, my friends, what I’ve said before, proudly. Are we ready to give the people of Iran the support they deserve and need? Yes, we are ready. Hazer! Hazer! Hazer! Thank you very much. God bless you all, we will meet soon.

Fine to learn the vocabulary on feelings
le 23 mai 2015
I admit having felt desapointed by this book. It's nice to learn the vocabulary of feelings : sad, bored etc... But I would have enjoyed a story around it. Evry page portray a feeling : "I feel angry" but then that's all... I would have like it to be inserted in some kind of story or at least an action of some sort ! I think I have been generous giving this book 3 stars but I suppose the disigns aren't too bad ... !

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/
9x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Jazz Vocalist TIERNEY SUTTON has received a GRAMMY® Award Nomination for “Best Jazz Vocal Album” for every project she has released in the last decade. Tickets for TIERNEY SUTTON at Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club on Saturday January 14, 2023 at 7 P.M. and 9:30 P.M., as well as the current list of 2022 & 2023 shows, can be found on Ticketmaster.com and Jimmy’s Online Event Calendar at: https://www.jimmysoncongress.com/events.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club Features 9x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Jazz Vocalist TIERNEY SUTTON on Saturday January 14, 2023 at 7 P.M. and 9:30 P.M. Known for her impeccable voice and imaginative treatments of The Great American Songbook, Tierney Sutton is heralded for her abilities as both a jazz storyteller and her ability to use her voice as an instrument.
“A serious jazz artist who takes the whole enterprise to another level.”
— NEW YORK TIMES
“Sutton’s vocal chops and her phrasing are impeccable.”
— ALL ABOUT JAZZ
“As demonstrated by her critically acclaimed discography, the vocalist Tierney Sutton has become a preeminent figure…”
— DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE
Sutton’s 14 recordings as leader have addressed themes such as materialism (“Desire” in 2009), the pursuit of happiness (“On The Other Side” in 2007), as well as paying tribute to the music of Bill Evans (“Blue In Green” in 2002), Frank Sinatra (“Dancing In The Dark” in 2004), and pop icon Sting (“The Sting Variations” in 2016). Her 2013 Joni Mitchell tribute album, “After Blue” featured keyboardist Larry Goldings, drummer Peter Erskine, jazz vocal legend Al Jarreau, and NEA Jazz Master flautist Hubert Laws.
In recent years, Sutton has headlined at The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and Jazz at Lincoln Center. She can also be heard on film and television soundtracks including that of the Academy Award-Nominated film The Cooler as well as on television commercials (BMW, Green Giant, Yoplait Yogurt, Coke).
In May 2016, Sutton was approached by legendary Director Clint Eastwood. The original score to his box-office smash, Sully, was created by Tierney Sutton Band pianist, Christian Jacob, The Tierney Sutton Band and Clint Eastwood. The end-title song “Flying Home” features music by Eastwood and lyrics by Tierney Sutton and JB Eckl. It is performed by Tierney Sutton and The Tierney Sutton Band.
Sutton’s most recent GRAMMY® Award Nomination (“Best Jazz Vocal Album”) is for her 2019 album “Screenplay.” The album spans the first century of American film music with an ambitious 19-track collection of songs in five parts. The arrangements and Sutton’s readings of the songs are pure Tierney Sutton Band at the height of its powers, subtly illuminating and revolutionizing each classic, as well as introducing a few lesser-known gems. “With ‘ScreenPlay’ this long-running group adopts and adapts material from the silver screen, creating high art that’s spellbinding and eminently listenable,” stated Downbeat Magazine in their album review.
TIERNEY SUTTON Tickets & Current Schedule of Shows
Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club’s 2022 Schedule of Shows included 9 NEA Jazz Masters, 52 GRAMMY® Award-Winning Artists, 46 Blues Music Award-Winners, and a comprehensive list of talented musicians with 575+ GRAMMY® Award Nominations amongst them.

DIGITAL IN.-DISINFE C TOL.
Dzgitalin is supposed to be one of the four or five
glucosides (?) existing in the common foxglove (Digitalis
purpurca). Its true chemical nature has not been deter-
Physical Properties.-Digitalin occurs as an amor-
phous crystalline powder.
Therapeutic Applications.-This remedy is employed
in those cardiac diseases in which digitalis itself is indi-
Administration.-The dose of digitalin is from 1
to -1 of a grain (o.ooo6 to 0.0013 gramme).
This name is given to a combination composed of 5
parts of the residue left over in the distillation of crude
naphtha and I part by volume of concentrated sulphuric
acid. This mixture is allowed to cool, and the fluid
portion is finally and gradually combined with an equal
volume of io per cent. soda solution and well shaken.
The mixture appears as a yellowish-brown emulsion.
When used as a disinfectant, disinfectin must be diluted
with four parts of hot water.
This is a mixture of hydrocarbons, soaps, carbolic
acid, and soda.
Physical Properties.--Disinfectol occurs as a brown-
ish-black oily liquid analogous to creolin and lysol. It
has an alkaline reaction and a sp. gr. of i.o86.
I Two other glucosidal principles have been described of late--digitalein
and digiloxin. I)igitalein, whose formula is C1180,, occurs as a yellowish
amorphous powder, freely soluble in water and alcohol. Digitoxin is said
to have a composition of C21120,7, and is a white crystalline body, of a
bitter taste, readily soluble in chloroform, but insoluble in water. The dose
of this principle is put down as from ,-. to 4a of a grain (o.oo0003 to
0.ooo6 gramme) twice a lday. This drug has been highly recommended as
a substitute for digitalis in cardiac disease, being said to act especially upon
the left ventricle.

A top stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Engineer Oyedele Hakeem Alao, has said that Governor Seyi Makinde cannot use corruption allegations tarnish the image of the party.
Alao made this disclosure on Monday.
It will be recalled that Makinde had a few days ago said that some members of APC who served during the last administration led by Ajimobi had cornered about N150 billion belonging to the state.
He added that that his government is currently pursuing those who looted the money.
Reacting, he explained that Makinde intended to use the allegation of fraud to de-market the APC.
He berated Makinde for vowing that there would be no hiding place for members of the party who looted the state’s funds.
He said that the governor is living in a glass house and throwing stones.
Alao who spoke further said that it was under the administration of Makinde that the state Accountant-General was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for corruption for the first time.
He explained further that the recent revelation by Dataphyte on the award of contract for school notebooks at N998 million with each copy of 60 leaves costing N2,100 was the highest peak of corruption in his government.
Alao said, “It is now glaring to every right-thinking person in the state that Governor Makinde is running a government of deceit by raising an alarm of looting to de-market the APC while his own administration is the worst in the history of the state with massive looting of the state resources under the guise of phantom projects.
“If indeed the governor is sincere in his latest claim, there are many questions which the people of the state would want him to provide answers to, why is it taking him this long to tag the APC as a party of looters?
“How come is it now that he has declared interest to contest for a second term that he is accusing the opposition party of corruption? and why is it becoming difficult for his administration to reveal the debt profile of the state under his watch?”

The Input Deck database (see Fig. 3.8) contains a toolkit which consists of a reader and a writer module for reading and writing the database description files.
To extend the functionality of the description language the application may register an arbitrary number of application specific functions to the function module. Once the input files are read and the database is built up the application can query items in the database, e.g., model parameters, simulation flow descriptions, or user flags. Items can be evaluated or just tested for their existence, or structures can be analyzed. Moreover, the application may modify existing or add new items to write back runtime information into the database. Equations are evaluated by the runtime evaluation module.
The Input Deck database is controlled by the application via an application interface which is available for the programming languages C, C++, and LISP to support several different TCAD applications[115,116,K2].

Often I find that two views of the same basic composition help tell a nice story. In this case, the first image below by itself makes for a nice landscape composition with a smooth lake and afternoon reflections on the water. However, when I zoomed in on that image during post processing, I spotted the two-person row boat out looking for relaxation and a fish or two. To make this work, one needs a fairly good lens. I used a 14mm Panasonic Lumix Summilux that produces relatively sharp images when zoomed in (cropped).

One of the early applications
for regenerative turbines is to boost the pressure of water systems.
The high pressures developed by the regenerative turbine design
are naturally suited to lifting/boosting water from one floor or
elevation to a higher one or increasing the pressure in a system
to maintain minimum pressure limits. Typical applications often
use single stage close-coupled T Series
pumps in a bronze fitted construction.

This photograph captures a young boy dressed in a formal sailor suit. The outfit is unusual, as most children wearing nautical clothing in photographs of this era are not clad in such a fine suit. The photographer is Taylor of Wilmington, North Carolina. Wilmington is a US naval port and it is very possible that this boys father was a high ranking naval officer stationed there. One can surmise that he was an officer because a child dressed in such finery must come from a well-to-do family.
This cabinet card features stage actor, Joseph Wheelock Sr. (1839-1908). He began his careeer in Boston and later played leads in various stock companies. His first hit was his appearance in “The Stranger”. His principal stock company was the Meech Brothers. During his career he appeared with many of the most renowned theatre actors. His fellow cast members included Edwin Booth, Agnes Booth, Adelaide Neilson, Mary Anderson, Edward Sothern and Julia Marlowe. Wheelock was one of the founders and the first President of the Actors Society of America. The society was organized in 1895 and its purpose was to regulate and standardize contractual obligations between performers and producers. The group dissolved in 1912. This cabinet card was photographed by Napoleon Sarony of New York City, one of the most popular celebrity photographers of this era. To see other photographs in the Cabinet Card Gallery by Sarony, click on the category “Photographer: Sarony”. It is important to note that Joseph Wheelock Sr. had a son who was also an actor. Judging by the estimated age of the subject of this photograph, and the estimated date of this photograph; it seems almost certain that this image is that of Joseph Wheelock Sr., and not Joseph Wheelock Jr.
This cabinet card features a very fashionably dressed older woman posing for her portrait at the Block Studio, in St. Louis Missouri (1225 Franklin Avenue). The woman is wearing a very interesting hat that includes feathers and assorted other materials. She is wearing a pin and earrings. Research indicates that Louis Block worked as a photographer in St. Louis between 1900 and 1919 although he may have also worked there during other additional years.
This cabinet card features a beautifully dressed woman posing for her photograph at an unidentified photographers studio. The woman is wearing earrings and a ring and is holding a purse. This cabinet card image poses an interesting question for the vast unpaid research department of the Cabinet Card Gallery. Why does the woman’s purse have a stash of money sticking out of one of its compartments? Hopefully, visitors to this site will leave their opinions about this mystery, in the comment section.
This cabinet card is an image of siblings posing for their photograph at the studio of Herman Buchholz of Springfield, Massachusetts. The children are dressed in their finest clothing and the oldest is carrying a beaded purse. The photographer, Herman Buckhholz (1839-?) was born in Berlin, Prussia. His studio was located at 365 Main Street when he produced this cabinet card. He was an active photographer between 1869 and 1896. He found time to serve in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1890-1891.
Annie and Maggie Fleming pose for this cabinet card portrait at the Anderson’s photographic studio, located at 85 Main Street in Houston, Texas. An inscription on the reverse of the card identifies the little girls and indicates that this photograph was given to their cousin. These cute siblings appear to be a bit dubious of the photographer and their photographic session. The photographer, Samuel Anderson, operated out of the address on this cabinet card, between 1886 and 1892. To see other photographs by Sam Anderson, click on this sites category, “Photographer: Anderson”.
A pretty woman poses for her photograph at the studio of Hansen & Weller in Copenhagen, Denmark. The studio’s address was 28 Bredgade. The woman is playing her violin with her bow. Her hair is up and she appears to be wearing a corset , giving her a lovely figure. One of the photographers is George Emil Hansen (1833-1891). He was a pioneer Danish photographer. His father and brother were also photographers. He won photography awards in London (1862) and Berlin (1865). Hansen was the photographer of the Danish Royal Family. His photographic work spanned from 1856 through 1891.
This cabinet card is a photograph of James Gibbons (1834-1921). Gibbons was an American Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as the Bishop of Richmond, Virginia and as the Arch Bishop of Baltimore, Maryland. He became a Bishop while quite young and was known as the “Boy Bishop”. He was elevated to Cardinal in 1886, becoming the second American Cardinal. He was an acquaintance of every American President from Andrew Johnson to Warren Harding. He was honored by Presidents Taft and Theodore Roosevelt. Gibbons advocated the creation of Catholic University and was its first Chancellor (1887). He was an advocate for labor and an author of several books and articles. His most well known book was “The Faith of Our Fathers” (1876). In later life, Gibbons was the public face of Catholicism in the United States.
This cabinet card captures a bare chested man preparing for a bath. He appears to be muscular and fit. He has a formidable thick mustache. Writing on the reverse of the card states,“This is for mother. Father is taken washing and this is as exactly as he looks”. This cabinet card invites speculation. It appears that the man is separated from his wife. Is he in prison? Is he in the military? The answer is most likely unobtainable as there is no identifying information concerning the identity of the subject, or the photographer. In addition, the location that the photograph was taken is also unknown.

Komatsu Factory Co., Ltd. (Head office: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Daiichiro Komatsu), a manufacturer of meteorological equipment, and Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. have jointly commercialized an optical fiber rain gauge, obtained the Japan Meteorological Agency's verification(Figure 1) and launched sales.
Using a disaster-resistant optical fiber sensor, the optical fiber rain gauge comes in handy when undertaking measures against flooding and inundation caused by the recent pluvial climate and local heavy rains, disaster measures such as evacuation orders issued to residents and support for traffic control, etc.
Because of the tendency toward a pluvial climate in this Japan, heavy rains and flooding have been increasing. There are growing needs to raise the density of rain gauges to be installed and to gain more accurate rainfall information as measures against the local intermittent heavy rains. When installing rain gauges on mountains, in urban areas and on roads, aside from the rain gauge sensor, numerous amounts of incidental facilities and devices were normally necessary, such as a device called a rain gauge converter for activating the rain gauge, wireless/wired devices to transmit the information obtained by the rain gauges, power equipment that needs to lead the distribution lines and lightning arresters to protect the equipment from lightning strikes. It was also necessary to construct outdoor storage boxes to accommodate all these devices and facilities and to conduct installation and electrical work.
Mechanism of the optical fiber rain gauge
The sensor of the optical fiber rain gauge uses the same mechanism as the conventionally used tipping bucket rain gauge, which outputs an optical pulse when the tipping bucket operates. The sensor of a conventional rain gauge records rainfall of 1 mm when the electric contact of the reed switch closes as the magnet passes over the reed switch while the tipping bucket operates(Figure 2). Instead of a reed switch, the sensor of the optical fiber rain gauge uses an optical fiber proximity sensor(Figure 3), which generates reflected light when the magnet passes over the sensor(Figure 4). By connecting a device known as "gauge signal output equipment," in which a light source and a light-receiving device are incorporated, to the sensor of the optical rain gauge through single core optical fiber cable, it is possible to observe rainfall remotely from a distance of up to 20km(Figure 1).
Characteristics of the optical fiber rain gauge
With its built-in optical fiber sensor made of glass, the optical rain gauge sensor requires no power, thus allowing the construction of a rain observation system by simply connecting the sensor to the optical fiber cables in the observation field, as long as the optical fiber cables have been installed in rivers, roads and railways and the local government has installed the communication fibers consisting of optical fiber cables for the informatization of the region. As mentioned above, the optical fiber rain gauge eliminates the need for the incidental facilities that were required with the conventional rain gauge, thus reducing installation costs. It also allows the construction of a rain gauge system that is resistant to lightning strikes and is trouble free, as it needs no instruments equipped with electronic devices in the observation field and thus reduces maintenance costs. It is also insensitive to the blackouts that tend to occur when a disaster strikes, as it needs no power in the observation field.
Employing a disaster-resistant optical fiber sensor, the optical fiber rain gauge comes in handy when undertaking measures against the flooding and inundation caused by the recent pluvial climate and local heavy rains, disaster measures such as evacuation orders issued to residents and support for traffic control, etc. The optical fiber rain gauge is also the first optical fiber sensor in the industry to obtain the Japan Meteorological Agency's verification.
(Figure 1)Optical fiber rain gauge (Japan Meteorological Agency's verification obtained under the name "Sensor of tipping bucket rain gauge")
