Abstract:
A network management agent, device or module determine the network topology of a communication network based on at least one neighbor network or end device identity and corresponding network link communication delay collected from, determined by, and stored in a Management Information Base of, at least one first network device of the communication network. Neighbor identities and communication delays are determined according to the IEEE 1588 standard.

Abstract:
A modular voltage source converter (100) comprises a plurality of cells conformal to a basic cell design comprising a first and a second terminal, a capacitor and at least two switches arranged in a half-bridge or full-bridge configuration. In the converter, a first group is formed by a number n of cells (101-k, k=1, n) connected serially at their terminals, and a second group is formed by an equal number n of cells (102-k, k=1, n) connected serially at their terminals. The terminals of the cells (101-k) in said first group are connected, via a resistive or inductive connection element (110-k), to the terminals of corresponding cells (102-k) in said second group.

Abstract:
An exemplary method for engineering a Distributed Control System (DCS) having at least one Input/Output device and at least one controller that are communicatively connected. A user is prompted to request an application type and select a variant from one or more variant options, at least one device is identified from a plurality of devices available in the DCS, selecting at least one function block including function fragments from a library based on the user input, instances of function fragments are created and at least one instance of function fragments is arranged based on the at least one identified device from the plurality of devices and configuring the at least one identified device based on the created instances of function fragments. The selected solution variant option is determined from the arranged function fragments and changes are made dynamically to satisfy one or more identified DCS conditions.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a standby power supply circuit for a 2-wire bus intercom system and an apparatus thereof. The standby power supply circuit is separated into two power supply modules; in which the first power supply module is a power supply to standby circuit and the second power supply module is a power supply to operation circuit; said power supply to operation circuit is switched off by a constant current switch when the device load is at the standby status; and said power supply to standby circuit comprises a constant current circuit whose alternating current impedance is very large. The solutions of the present invention achieve larger alternating current impedance for the 2-wire intercom system, which can offer sufficient power for many device loads both in the conditions of operation and standby statuses.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for recovering a re-usable grade of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) from a potentially contaminated gas source. The system includes extraction vessels connected to the potentially contaminated gas source. A first cryogenic means reduces the temperature of the extraction vessel to a temperature below the phase transition of SF6 causing a pressure differential which causes the potentially contaminated gas to enter the extraction vessels. The SF6 turns to liquid and/or solid form in the extraction vessel. Non-condensed contaminant gas is evacuated from the extraction vessels. Recovery vessels are connected to the extraction vessel. A second cryogenic means is used to reduce the temperature of the recovery vessels. Raising the temperature of the extraction vessels creates a pressure differential which causes a re-usable grade of SF6 to enter the recovery vessels.
Abstract:
An electric power cable including at least one electric conductor. An electric insulation surround the conductor and includes a polymer. A tubular protective sheath surrounds the electric insulation and acts as a water barrier that prevents water intrusion into the electric insulation. The protective sheath includes a metal as a main constituent. The cable includes at least one density-raising element of a material of higher density than the material of the protective sheath, in order to increase the density of the cable such that too large motions thereof are prevented when the latter is installed in open sea.
