In line with the wider application of non-contact voltage transducers in the engineering field, transducers are required to have better performance for different measuring environments. In the present study, the D-dot voltage transducer is further improved based on previous research in order to meet the requirements for long-distance measurement of electric transmission lines. When measuring th...

Abstract Buses for public city transport in cities represent a significant source of noise, especially the central zones, on traffic corridors with highest hourly frequencies vehicles. The introduction electric buses is one possible ways to reduce noise. paper will present results experimental measurement noise levels e-bus Higer KLQ6125GEV3 polygon, using Lutron SL-4001 measuring instrument, f...

The Electric Slide Organistrum (Figure 1) is an acoustic stringed instrument played through a video capture system. The vibration of the instrument string is generated electromagnetically and the pitch variation is achieved by movements carried out by the player in front of a video camera. This instrument results from integrating an ancient technique for the production of sounds as it is the vi...

A tape measure, based on 50th centile weight for height and designed to permit easy drug dosage calculation, endotracheal tube size and DC cardioversion current dosages in childrens' emergencies, was tested for reliability by medical and nursing staff with varying paediatric experience. We found that the tape measure gave a reproducible estimate of weight and suggest that its use would facilita...

Battery thermal management is critical for high-power battery packs commonly used in electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). To design battery thermal management systems properly, obtaining accurate heat generation data from battery modules is essential. To measure heat generation from full-size, multiple-cell battery modules, we developed and tested a custom-made calorimeter...

In this paper we describe an approach for introducing new electronic percussive sound possibilities for string instruments by "listening" to the sounds of the instrument's body and extracting audio and data from the wood's acoustic vibrations. A method for capturing, localizing and analyzing the percussive hits on the instrument's body is presented, in connection with an audio-driven electronic...

Adaptronics, Inc. is currently developing a "smart" UT and EC interpretive instrument under funding by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI Contract Nu. RP1125). The instrument, denoted the "ALN 4000 Process Analysis Microcomputer", is a dual microprocessor microcomputer system.

− In the paper a concept of the measuring instrument with distributed data processing, cooperating with PC is presented. A functional configuration of the instrument performing additional functions connected with measurement result accuracy assessment as well as respective algorithms are shown. The principles of cooperation with PC computer are discussed. The laboratory implementation of the de...
