Fiber Optics in Communication
Definition
A fiber is a flexible, hair – like strand of a substance and is the smallest visible unit of any textile product. It is very much long in relation to its width or at least one hundred times longer than it is wide. A particular fiber’s properties are dependent upon its physical structure and chemical composition. Manufacturers use fibers whose properties suit the products they market. Citing for example, when used in clothing, fibers must specifically possess certain properties such that it must feel pleasant to the touch, it must be absorbent, the fiber must have a good luster, and last but

    Blue No. 5 Dye Analysis

    Dyes are organic compounds that can be used to impart bright, permanent colors to fabrics. The affinity of a dye for a fabric depends on the chemical structures of the dye and fabric molecules and also on the interactions between them. Three common fabrics are wool, cotton and nylon. Wool is a protein, a naturally occurring polymer made up of amino acids with ionized side chains. Cotton is a naturally occurring polymer made up of glucose units with hydrophilic groups surrounding each glucose unit. Nylon is a synthetic polymer made of hydrocarbon repeating chains joined together by highly polar amide. (-CONH-) functional…

    Fiber-Optic Telecommunications Systems

    Fibre-optic telecommunications is simply a method of transmitting information from one place to another extremely fast. This is done by shooting pulses of light through an optical fibre. Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter, relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal. An optic-fibre is a small fibre no thicker than a human hair, either made of glass or plastic that is transparent and flexible. The light inside the fibre-optic cable forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. Fibre-optic telecommunications offers the longest and highest bandwidth (data transfer) of any other form of communication. The availability of fibre-optic technology has replaced a lot of the copper wire communications in core networks in developed countries. The modern day Fibre-optic cable was first developed by Gerhard Bernsee of Schott Glass in Germany in 1973. After this in the early 90’s a development of the photonic crystal-fibre these are much better because they have much higher power than the early glass fibre and also their wavelength-dependent can be manipulated to provide better performance. These were first available in 2000 and with this technology the first Fibre-Optic Telecommunications System was developed. Fibre optic telecommunications have three main uses the internet; optic fibres allow for an extremely fast bandwidth this is normally used by big companies and the government, digital television; optic fibre allows for a perfect quality at all times that never cuts out which is crystal clear and never cuts out, and finally telephones; Once again used for perfect quality between long distances it was the original use for fibre optic telecommunication. ‘The glass in optical fibres is…

    Wool Felt and Felted Synthetic Materials: A Solution for Product Design Challenges

    Wool felt is one of the world's oldest man-made fabrics because it does not require weaving. Instead, it interlocks to form a continuous useful material. Through a process of manipulating, hammering, and steaming, scales on the wool felt fibers engage each other to form a lasting, resilient bond. The natural fibers in wool felt cannot be duplicated in the laboratory. Each wool felt fiber has a flexible microscopic covering of scales similar to the scales on a fish. Wool felt scales are made of keratin, the same tough substance that grows to form horns and hooves on cattle and other animals.…

    Woman's Suffrage

    Now days when you turn eighteen in the United States. you can vote in the election but that was not always true for woman. Before 1920 woman were not allowed to vote only men could. It all began in 1848, at the first woman’s rights convention in New York, and didn’t end until 1920 when the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote, was finally ratified and became a law on August 26, 1920. Many brave woman and organizations fought for the right to be considered equal to men. Organizations such as NWSA, founded by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and AWSA, founded by Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell. These people, as well as many others, took a stand so that woman could have the rights that they do today, the right to vote. Woman’s suffrage was one of the most influential things in history because it allowed men and woman to be treated as equals, and without it, America would not be where it is today.…

    Trace Evidence Essay

    Fibers can rarely be used to make an exact positive identification unless torn fibers can be physically matched at their edges, much like the “fractured matches” with glass. Most fiber examination revolves around the possible transference of clothing fibers between people who have come into contact with one another or fiber transfers between a suspect and other environmental elements at the point of contact most notably the crime scene. Fibers can be examined and compared using light wavelengths or microspectrophotometry to determine the color, shade, and shape of the material (Forensic Science Central, 2104). However, individual fibers cannot always be said to come from a particular item of clothing or fabric, but finding fibers with the same common composition on the suspect with fibers from the crime scene can be of great value to an investigation or a prosecution.…

    Textiles are defined as the yarns that are woven or knitted to make fabrics. The use of textiles links the myriad cultures of the world and defines the way they clothe themselves, adorn their surroundings and go about their lives. Textiles have been an integral part of human daily life for thousands of years, with the first use of textiles, most likely felt, dates back to the late Stone Age, roughly 100,000 years ago. However, the earliest instances of cotton, silk and linen being to appear around 5,000 BC in India, Egypt and China. The ancient methods of manufacturing textiles, namely plain weave, satin weave and twill, have changed very little over the centuries. Modern manufacturing speed and capacity, however, have increased the rate of production to levels unthinkable even 200 years ago.…
