Abstract: A fuse assembly having a displaceable pin assembly secured within a cap bore of an end cap of the fuse assembly. The displaceable pin assembly can include a plunger that is selectively displaceable along an axis that is non-parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the first end cap. The plunger can be selectively displaceable between an extended position at which at least a first end of the plunger is outwardly positioned away from an outer surface of the first end cap, and a recessed position at which the first end of the plunger is recessed within, or generally aligned with the outer surface of, the first end cap. The displaceable pin assembly can also include a biasing element that can bias the plunger to the extended position, and a support body that can house at least a portion of the plunger and be securely coupled to the cap bore.

Abstract: A transformer coil comprises low and high voltage windings wound on a supporting construction and immersed in a main insulation material. The transformer coil has also a first barrier arranged proximate the low voltage winding and a second barrier arranged proximate the high voltage winding. Each of the first and second barriers is gas-tight and semiconductive so that gas bubbles potentially released during immersion in the main insulation material are unable to migrate to a high electric field region during the casting process or during apparatus operation.

The system includes a hydraulic pilot valve section being moveable in a first direction and a second direction; a main hydraulic valve section being moveable in a first direction to close the turbine valve and a second direction to open the turbine valve; a position demand indicating a desired position of the turbine valve; a first feedback indicating an actual position of the hydraulic pilot valve section; and aa second feedback indicating an actual position of the main hydraulic valve section. The system also includes a pilot valve error; a main valve error; a turbine valve error; and a pilot valve adjustment moving the hydraulic pilot valve section in response to the turbine valve error. The turbine valve error is repeatedly determined and the pilot valve adjustment repeatedly moves the hydraulic pilot valve section to minimize the turbine valve error.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electrical converter system is provided herein. The method includes determining a switching signal and a reference trajectory of at least one electrical quantity of the electrical converter system over a horizon of future sampling instants; generating a sequence of averaged switch positions from the switching signal over the horizon; determining a sequence of optimized averaged switch positions with optimized averaged switch positions by optimizing a cost function based on the sequence of averaged switch positions; determining an optimized switching signal for the current sampling interval by moving switching transitions in the switching signal, such that the average of the switching signal with the modified switching transitions equals the optimized averaged switch position; and applying at least the next switching transition of the optimized switching signal for the current sampling interval to the electrical converter system.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for determining a position of a tracking device. The tracking device includes a vision sensor and an inertial sensor. A first position of the tracking device in relative to a reference marker is obtained based on an image of the reference marker that is collected by the vison sensor. A second position of the tracking device in relative to the first position is obtained by the inertial sensor after a movement of the tracking device. A position of the tracking device in relative to the reference marker is determined based on the first and second positions.
