Abstract: A method for magnetic/impedance burst testing of large electric motors to determine broken rotor bar defect. The method providing a portable tester and includes a Signal Processor, a single-phase power source VAC, an AC/DC boost converter connected to the power source, at least one energy storage device connected to the AC to DC boost converter, a Pulse Width Modulated drive module (PWM) connected to the at least one energy storage device, and a series of at least three switches (IPM) using switch/level boost-type PWM rectification. The burst test is repeated until a full rotation of magnetic angles are tested and recorded with the Signal Processor. Rotor impedance versus magnetic angle of the full rotation is verified in order to check for failure, and broken rotor bar defect is determined when a shift in measured stator's impedance/admittance level for any of the given magnetic angles is identified by the Signal Processor.

Abstract: A partial discharge detection board includes a voltage divider configured to attenuate a voltage of a reflected signal. A buffer is connected to the voltage divider. The buffer attenuates frequencies of the reflected signal that are greater than an upper cutoff frequency. An analog-to-digital converter is connected to the buffer. The analog-to-digital converter receives portions of the reflected signal up to the upper cutoff frequency, and the analog-to-digital converter converts the reflected signal from an analog domain to a digital domain. A filter is connected to the analog-to-digital converter. The filter attenuates frequencies of the reflected signal that are less than a lower cutoff frequency. A comparator is connected to the filter. The comparator compares the voltage of the reflected signal to a reference voltage. A counter is connected to the comparator. The counter increments when the voltage of the reflected signal is greater than the reference voltage.

Abstract: An automated method for provisioning a grid used to run a load test on a target website includes sending one or more requests in a multi-threaded manner to at least one cloud provider, the one or more requests for an allocation of N load server instances and M result server instances which comprise the grid. Requests received back from the cloud provider are also handled in a multi-threaded manner; any errors occurring during the allocation being corrected automatically. The N load server instances and the M result server instances are then verified to be operational and correctly running software deployed to provide defined test services. Errors identified during the verification are automatically corrected either by attempting to restart a failed instance or allocating a different instance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating a lineage for a data field is disclosed. The method may include creating a unique identifier for a data field. Also, a record of the origin of data is created when the data is inserted into the data field; however this is not required. The record of the origin of data is associated with the unique identifier for the data field. The lineage for a data field may be viewed. In so doing, the transformations to the data field may be shown.

Abstract: A business intelligence system includes a business activity monitor with a data cache to receive and store enterprise data integrated from a plurality of enterprise applications, the data cache being updated in real-time as the enterprise data changes. A computer coupled with the data cache runs a program that produces a graphical user interface on a display. The graphical user interface provides a user with a real-time report of the enterprise data and a page that allows the user to specify at least one action affecting operation of the enterprise. The page also including a button selection of which causes the computer to send a first message designating one or more selected actions to the BAM. In response, the BAM sends a second message to one or more of the enterprise applications to execute the one or more selected actions in real-time.
