摘要： A distribution network power line communication system which includes coupling means for applying a carrier current communication signal to the polyphase primary distribution conductors with a proportional relationship between the signal voltages applied to the various conductors selected to provide a predetermined propagation mode. Impedance elements are connected between the conductors at selected points remote from the coupling point, such as at the location of unbalanced loads, line taps, branches, capacitor banks, distribution transformers, and other line discontinuities which may cause mode conversion. The impedance elements are selected and connected to re-establish the predetermined propagation mode.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and apparatus for the control of dynamic systems, more particularly complex dynamic systems and especially those systems exhibiting minimum phase behavior. The method utilizes observer theory to estimate the state variables of the system. Based in part upon the estimated values of the state variables, a pseudo or compensated output for the system is generated. This compensated output represents the steady state asymptote of the actual system output without the unstable or transient system responses. The actual outputs are then controlled by controlling the compensated output.According to another embodiment, a bounded output may also be generated from the state variable estimates. This bounded output represents the minimum and/or maximum excursion that the actual output takes in its approach to the steady state value represented by the compensated output. This bounded output is then used to control the system so as to prevent the actual output from crossing any predetermined system limits.

摘要： A method and apparatus for classifying objects in images utilize means for selecting portions of those images which contain objects and means for classifying those objects based upon parameters of the selected portions, which parameters are useful for classifying the objects. The selecting means preferably is a shadow and highlight detector, a statistical window detector and a neural network window detector whose output is combined in a combined cuer. The parameters are determined from the greylevels and positions of pixels using one or more modules which perform certain mathematical operations on this data. Such parameters include edge parameters, smoothness, clutter, presence and characteristics of highlights and shadows, and texture. The invention is particularly useful for classifying objects in sonar images as natural or man-made.

摘要： A system and related method for the detection of low power broadband signal sources in a high noise environment. The system uses multiple collinear arrays of sensors to receive data signals. The sensor-to-sensor spacing within the arrays is greater than one-half the wavelength of the center frequency associated with the broadband spectrum of interest. The signals are processed using nonlinear spectral estimation to remove periodic signals from the data signals to obtain broadband data. A cross correlation matrix is formed from the broadband data. Nonlinear spectral estimation is applied to the cross correlation matrix to determine the angular direction of the low power broadband signal sources with respect to the arrays.

摘要： Protective relay apparatus and method for determining the faulted phase conductor of a three-phase ac electrical transmission line. The voltage and current on each conductor are measured and the steady-state ac electric power signal removed. The resulting filtered-voltage signals are multiplied by the characteristic admittance of the transmission line and then combined with the filtered-current signals to produce three current signals representative of the current on each conductor caused by an incident traveling wave and three current signals representative of the current on each conductor caused by a forward traveling wave. A comparator compares the six current signals to provide an indication of the direction to the fault and to provide an enable signal when the fault is on the protected line segment. The three incident-wave current signals are filtered to provide a modal signal representing the total current produced on the transmission line by a first propagational mode of the incident traveling wave. A discriminator processes the three incident-wave signals, the modal signal, and the enable signal to provide an indication of the faulted phase conductor.
