Information presentation and troubleshooting in electrical circuits

Just-in-time information presentation: Improving learning a troubleshooting skill

Troubleshooting in a practice situation requires two types of information, namely for reasoning about the problem-cause and for finding an adequate solution (declarative information) and for manipulating the environment (procedural information). It is hypothesized that presenting this information piece-by-piece during practice (i.e., presentation of declarative and procedural information separa...

Troubleshooting Plantwide Oscillations Using Nonlinearity Information

Plant-wide oscillations are common in many processes. Their effects propagate to many units and may impact the overall process performance. It is important to detect and diagnose the cause of such oscillations in order to rectify the situation and maintain the proper profitability of the plant. This paper proposes a new procedure to detect and diagnose plant-wide oscillations using routine oper...

Qualitative Modelling of Electrical Circuits

This paper presents a new model for the qualitative analysis of electrical circuit behaviour. We show that a qualitative representation of electrical resistance provides a good intuitive model of connectivity. Features include an extended qualitative symbol set for current flow and the concepts of primary and secondary levels of activity. The algorithm assigns labels to network junctions, finds...

Fast-tunable resonators and quantum electrical circuits

In this thesis, measurements on superconducting electrical circuits that exhibit quantum mechanical effects are presented. Nonlinear superconducting circuits can be regarded as artificial atoms with energy spectra that can be engineered. The artificial atoms can be used as quantum bits for quantum computation. By coupling the artificial atoms to the electromagnetic field inside a transmission l...
