Cable winding is an alternative technology to create stator windings in large electrical machines. Today such cable winding is performed manually, which is very repetitive, time-consuming and therefore also expensive. This paper presents the design, function and control system of a developed cable feeder tool for robotized stator cable winding. The presented tool was able to catch a cable insid...

In light-frame timber construction, the shear wall is one of most important components that provide resistance to lateral loads such as earthquakes or winds. According KDS (Korea Design Standard) 42 50 10, walls are be constructed using wood-based structural sheathing, with studs connected by 8d nails spaced 150 mm along edge and 300 in field. Even though small-scale residential building can de...

Introduction. To achieve a functional atraumatic cochlear implantation, intracochlear pressure changes during the procedure should be minimized. Postinsertional cable movements are assumed to induce intracochlear pressure changes. The aim of this study was to observe intracochlear pressure changes due to postinsertional cable movements. Materials and Methods. Intracochlear pressure changes were...

The available EMTP-type programs have dedicated support routines (Cable Constants) for calculating an electric representation of cable systems in terms of a series impedance matrix Z and a shunt admittance matrix Y, based on cable data defined by geometry and material properties. Z and Y are then used as the basic input for the various cable models applied in time domain transient simulations. ...

Effective competition for local monopoly cable systems would seem to offer a natural solution to nagging problems widely attributed to the cable industry, such as high prices and poor service. In regulatory and legislative proceedings leading up to the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992,(note 1) however, potential or existing competitors to local cable systems comp...

Cable interference in cable-driven mechanisms (CDM) is a major challenge in their applications. The wrench closure workspace (WCW) in a fully constrained mechanism may not be realized unless cable interference is considered. This paper classifies all possible types of cable interferences for planar cable-driven mechanisms and presents an analytical solution to find the boundaries of the constan...

I measure the benefit to households of the 1992 Cable Act in light of strategic responses by cable systems to the regulations mandated by the act. A discrete-choice differentiatedproduct model of household demand for all offered cable television services forms the basis of the analysis. Aggregation over households and service combinations to the level of the data permits estimation on a cross-s...
