  • Patent number: 10928436
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are to evaluation of a phase-resolved partial electrical discharge (PD) of equipment insulation. In one embodiment, a method includes providing Phiqn-arrays by a measurement device configured to detect a PD process in electrical equipment. The electrical equipment can include high voltage insulation. The method further includes associating, by an equipment controller communicatively coupled to the measurement device, at least one Phiqn-pattern present in the Phiqn-arrays with a geometrical shape. The method also includes tracking, by the equipment controller, parameters of the geometrical shape in the Phiqn-arrays. The method also includes determining, by the equipment controller and based on the parameters of the geometrical shape, a discharge intensity associated with the Phiqn-pattern. The method may further include providing, by the equipment controller and based on the discharge intensity, a signal indicative of a condition of the high voltage insulation.

  • Publication number: 20140026650
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting rubbing and/or contact points on machines with rotating parts. The rotating parts form an electrical coaxial system with respect to the stationary parts of such a machine, in which system electrical voltage pulses are propagated at a characteristic speed because of the small distance between the rotating and the stationary part. Short electrical voltage pulses and/or continuous alternating voltage signals are applied between the rotating part and the stationary part, an electrical connection occurring between the rotating and the stationary part at a rubbing and/or contact point. In order to locate this rubbing and/or contact point as a point of electrical discontinuity, the period of time until the reflected pulses arrive is measured along the path of propagation of the electrical voltage pulses and/or of the continuous alternating voltage signals.

  • Patent number: 6408078
    Abstract: The loudspeaker system uses an inner transducer for pressure control in the closed loudspeaker housing to simulate the desired baffle properties. The speed of the membrane of the inner transducer is either proportional to the derivative of the pressure, or proportional to the intergral of pressure changes, or comprises summands proportional to the pressure, to the pressure's derivative and to the pressure's intergral.

  • Patent number: 5551800
    Abstract: The device for buoyancy is intended to be used by scuba divers. It allows the adjustment of its buoyancy and keeps this buoyancy constant even at changing water pressure. Its weight is low. The device works with a mechanism for pressure control. The controller keeps the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the tank constant. The walls of the tank are expandable to allow the adjustment of the displaced volume.
