The automatic voltage control (AVC) relay provides real-time automatic control for the on-load transformer tap changer (OLTC), which is widely used for power system voltage monitoring and control purposes throughout the world. However, there are no uniform testing standards for the AVC system, and the lack of on-site inspection means has stimulated the introduction of the real-time digital simu...

This paper presents generic requirements for proactive password changer. It then examines two of the most popular, publicly-available programs to see how well they meet the requirements. Future directions are examined, as well as alternatives to such checkers.

In this paper we describe COACH, a new Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool that we have developed in close conjunction with two focus groups of experienced translators. We explain why we thought it was essential for end-users to be involved from the start, and the process by which their feedback was gathered and acted upon for the ultimate benefit of Lingo24, the translators and our client...

The new neutron time-of-flight (TOF) diffractometer HIPPO (High-Pressure-Preferred Orientation) at LANSCE (Los Alamos Neutron Science Center) is described and results for quantitative texture analysis of a standard sample are discussed. HIPPO overcomes the problem of weak neutron scattering intensities by taking advantage of the improved source at LANSCE, a short flight path (9m) and a novel th...

There is a rapidly increasing interest in the use of synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for large-scale studies of biological macromolecules in solution, and this requires an adequate means of automating the experiment. A prototype has been developed of an automated sample changer for solution SAXS, where the solutions are kept in thermostatically controlled well plates allowing fo...
