    摘要: A system for estimating faulted area in an electric distribution system. The system includes a database storing input data, a fault detection module to estimate, based on the input data, if a new faulted area estimation process is required, a condition estimation module to estimate condition of metered protective devices, un-metered protective devices, and metered devices (PMDs), an upstream to downstream module to assess condition of each metered protective device, un-metered protective device, and metered device (PMD), starting from a feeder circuit breaker towards feeder downstream, to estimate a tripped protective device and a last metered device upstream of a fault, and a downstream to upstream module configured to assess outaged electric loads or elements towards network upstream to find the common interrupting protective device.

    摘要: According to an aspect, there is provided a method for self-diagnosing a mobile device comprising at least one or more actuators, one or more sensors and a display. The method comprises, first, feeding a pre-defined control signal to a first actuator of the mobile device and measuring, in response to the feeding, a first electric signal using a first sensor of the one or more sensors. Then, the first electric signal is compared to one or more reference signals associated with the first actuator and the pre-defined control signal. If the first electric signal fails to match the one or more reference signals according to one or more pre-defined criteria, a negative diagnosis is indicated to a user of the mobile device using one or more of a display of the mobile device and one or more actuators of the mobile device.

    摘要: The present application discloses a method for locating an open circuit failure point of a test structure, which includes the following steps: step 1: providing a sample formed with a test structure, a first metal layer pattern and a second metal layer pattern of the test structure forming a series resistor structure through each via; step 2: performing a first active voltage contrast test to the sample to show an open circuit point and making a first scratch mark at an adjacent position of the open circuit point; step 3: forming a coating mark at the first scratch mark on the sample; step 4: performing a second active voltage contrast test to the sample to show the open circuit point and locating a relative position of the open circuit point by using a position of the coating mark as a reference position.

    摘要: We disclose a circuit board that hosts at least first and second types of resistance sensors. The resistance of each sensor of the first type tends to increase, and the resistance of each sensor of the second type tends to decrease if the sensor is exposed to an aggressive environment. The circuit board also hosts a control circuit that operates to monitor respective resistances of the various resistance sensors and to process the digital values representing the resistances to estimate the working condition of one or more other electrical circuits located on the circuit board and/or in relatively close proximity to the circuit board in the corresponding equipment cabinet. The control circuit further operates to transmit out an appropriate alarm message if the estimated working condition is deemed unsatisfactory.

    摘要: An isolation device having first and second semiconductor is disclosed. The first semiconductor die may be adapted to transmit a first signal to the second semiconductor die that is electrically isolated. The first semiconductor die may have a transmitter coupled to a modulator that modulates the first signal. The second semiconductor die may have a receiver having a counter and a control circuit. The control circuit may be adapted to determine an indication of the first signal by using the counter. In addition, an isolation system and a DC-DC feedback regulation control system having such control circuit are disclosed. Likewise, a method for conveying a first signal across an isolation barrier is disclosed. The method may comprise counting a received signal based on internal clock and determining an indication of the first signal from the counter's count value.

    摘要: Failure in a self-healing array may be handled by: detecting a failing element of the self-healing array by monitoring characteristics of the failing element; auto-correcting a failing element of the self-healing array by adjusting characteristics of the failing element to compensate for a portion of the failing element which is failing; or correcting performance of the self-healing array when one or more elements of the self-healing array fail by detecting and modeling an impact of the one or more elements of the self-healing array which failed on the performance of the self-healing array.
