摘要： A method of detecting water induction in a steam turbine that may include the steps of: measuring the temperature of one of the steam lines of the steam turbine at regular intervals; recording the temperature measurements; and determining, from the recorded temperature measurements, whether there has been a sharp decrease followed by a gradual rise in the temperature of the steam line. The method further may include the steps of calculating the rate of change of the decrease in temperature of the steam line and the rate of change of the increase in temperature of the steam line. The sharp decrease followed by a gradual rise in the temperature of the steam line may include a decrease in temperature followed by an increase in temperature wherein the rate of change of the decrease in temperature exceeds the rate of change of the rise in temperature.

摘要： A clothes dryer includes a control system for determining the drying time for a partial load in a clothes dryer. The system includes a humidity sensor, a signal processor, and a fuzzy logic control system. The humidity sensor generates a humidity signal representative of the humidity of air flowing through the trap duct. The humidity sensor transmits the humidity signal to the signal processor, and the signal processor determines a drying span utilizing the humidity signal. The fuzzy logic control system then utilizes the drying span to estimate the clothes load.

摘要： The present invention discloses a system and method for predicting the dryness of clothing articles in a clothes dryer 10. In one embodiment of this invention, the clothes dryer 10 uses a temperature sensor 52, a phase angle sensor 54, and a humidity sensor 56 to generate signal representations of the temperature of the clothing articles, the motor phase angle, and the humidity of the heated air in the duct, respectively. A controller 58 receives the signal representations and determines a feature vector. A neural network 168 uses the feature vector to predict a percentage of moisture content and a degree of dryness of the clothing articles in the clothes dryer 10. In another embodiment of this invention, the clothes dryer uses a combination of sensors to predicts a percentage of moisture content and a degree of dryness of the clothing articles.
