«Cahiers Techniques» is a collection of documents intended for engineers and technicians, people in the industry who are looking for more in-depth information in order to complement that given in product catalogues. Furthermore, these «Cahiers Techniques» are often considered as helpful «tools» for training courses. They provide knowledge on new technical and technological developments in the e...

This paper studies restricted fault diameter of the n-dimensional hypercube networks Qn (n ≥ 2). It is shown that for arbitrary two vertices x and y with the distance d in Qn and any set F with at most 2n− 3 vertices in Qn −{x, y}, if F contains neither of neighbor-sets of x and y in Qn, then the distance between x and y in Qn − F is given by D(Qn − F ;x, y)   = 1, for d = 1; ≤ d + 4, for ...

Small current neutral grounding system is widely used in 3~66 kV power distribution system in China. In this power system, the single-phase-to-earth fault occurs frequently in distribution, thus how to detect the fault line with great accuracy and high efficiency is an important subject in protective relaying of power system. According to a variety of existing theories of fault line selection f...

Solid earth simulations have recently been developed to address issues such as natural disasters, global environmental destruction and the conservation of natural resources. The simulation of solid earth phenomena involves the analysis of complex structures including strata, faults, and heterogeneous material properties. Simulation of the generation and cycle of earthquakes is particularly impo...

A growing number of safety-critical systems is controlled by computer systems. In the context of several research projects solutions were suggested how to reduce the implementation effort for dependable real-time systems. Unfortunately most of these approaches are based on special hardware solutions or restricted to specific application domains. In addition most of the application realize only ...
