Abstract: The pulse firing pattern for a transformer of an electrostatic precipitator comprises first elements indicative of a pulse to be fired and second elements indicative of a pulse to not be fired. The pulse firing pattern further comprises couples of adjacent second elements and at least two first elements.

Abstract: A system for controlling an electrostatic precipitator includes a computer control system with a computer and a controller in operative communication with an electrostatic precipitator. The computer control system is operative to control performance of the electrostatic precipitator by controlling one or more of: a) a power supply that controls voltage between an electrically grounded vertical plate and a metallic wire electrode in the electrostatic precipitator; b) a first feeder valve and a second feeder valve in a hopper; and c) a power supply to an electrical coil in operative communication with a rapper.

Abstract: The method for monitoring the signal quality of an electrostatic precipitator comprises measuring in real time at least one feature of a primary electric power sent to a transformer of the electrostatic precipitator and/or at least one feature of a secondary electric power sent to the collecting electrodes and discharge electrodes of the electrostatic precipitator, elaborating the at least a measured feature generating an information indicative of the electrostatic precipitation signal quality, providing the information.

Abstract: A method for configuration of video stream output from a digital video camera. A digital video camera connected to a communication network, using a first video stream of a scene is produced; a second video stream of the scene is produced; at a client connected to the communication network, the first and second video streams are received and at least one video stream parameter of the first set of video stream parameters is caused to be adjusted such that a bit rate of the first video stream is affected; at the digital video camera, the producing of the first video stream is continuously adjusted based on the caused adjustment of the at least one video stream parameter of the first set of video stream parameters; and on a display of the client, a portion of each frame of the first video stream are continuously displayed.

Abstract: A monitoring system includes recording units for recording sequences of monitoring data and a system control station. In the system control station, timing information related to each sequence of monitoring data recorded by the recording units is obtained. The timing information indicates a start time and a stop time for each sequence. A recording unit selection signal is received that indicates a selected recording unit. The timing information is processed together with the recording unit selection signal, and a graphic representation of the start and stop times for a subset of the sequences of monitoring data is displayed using a first graphic characteristic. Further, a graphic representation of the start and stop times for each sequence of monitoring data recorded by the selected recording unit is displayed using a second graphic characteristic that is different from the first graphic characteristic.
