Abstract: A novel sheet transfer stabilizer is provided for transferring a fibrous wet sheet from a press section to a dryer section of a paper-making machine by way of a felt. The sheet transfer stabilizer includes a composite Venturi box which is disposed between a felt roll of the press section and a first dryer. The Venturi box includes three side-by-side Venturis, an inlet Venturi, an outlet Venturi, and a main Venturi. Such Venturi boxes are used to create and maintain a vacuum in the felt/web system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for determining the effects of linear and nonlinear loads on electrical power systems. The invention utilizes stored load characteristic data in terms of current spectra at predefined voltage values and network impedances to determine the voltage drop between an electrical substation bus and an electrical load bus. The actual load voltage is determined by an iteration technique which takes the difference between a collected substation voltage and the voltage drop and compares the result of the difference to an estimated load voltage. For each iteration the estimated load voltage is re-estimated until the difference result equals the estimated voltage, thereby determining the actual load voltage. Knowing the actual load voltage, permits determination of actual current and power values which are compared to collected substation current and power values. If the values are equal, the effects of the harmonics are known.
