Utility companies collect usage data from meters on a regular basis. The are collected automatically using radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. Each meter transmits signals an RFID tag that read by vehicle-mounted reading device within specified distance. Routing the vehicles can be modeled close-enough vehicle routing problem street network. In practice, there is uncertainty while...

The power theft monitoring is an important research in electric power system, and electricity-stealing prevention became a big problem to the electricity board. based on the kind of electricity-stealing and actual demand of prevention of stealing electricity, the equipment of electricity-stealing with remote monitoring is designed, with PIC microcontroller as the control core. In this the stand...

Reading is one of the most complex tasks in which vision is involved. Our understanding of the visual system is contributing to the analysis of dyslexia, a reading disorder which may reflect abnormal visual processes.

This paper presents findings from two eye-tracking studies designed to investigate the role of metrical prosody in silent reading. In Experiment 1, participants read stress-alternating noun-verb or noun-adjective homographs (e.g. PREsent, preSENT) embedded in limericks, such that the lexical stress of the homograph, as determined by context, either matched or mismatched the metrical pattern of ...

This paper discusses on general aspects of smart grids and focuses on some smart grid features at distribution level like interconnection of distributed generation and active distribution management, using automated meter reading (AMR) systems in network management and power quality monitoring, application of power electronics in electricity distribution, plug-in vehicles as part of smart grids...
