This paper describes the model and analyzes custom power devices for compensating voltage sag and swell conditions in three phase systems. Faults occurring in power distribution systems or facilities in plants cause the voltage sag or swell. If a fault occurs, it can damage the power system or user’s facility. Sensitivity to voltage sags and swells varies within different applications. For sens...

1. Oxygen consumption measurements made while a chicken erythrocyte swells show no increase over the control value. 2. There is no change in the rate of anaerobic glycolysis in beef erythrocytes when they swell. 3. The above statements are true whether the cells swell from a shrunken condition back to the normal volume, or swell from the normal to the hemolytic volume. 4. These data add a furth...

The hypothesis that cellular hypertrophy in congestive heart failure (CHF) modulates mechanosensitive (ie, swelling- or stretch-activated) channels was tested. Digital video microscopy and amphotericin-perforated-patch voltage clamp were used to measure cell volume and ion currents in ventricular myocytes isolated from normal dogs and dogs with rapid ventricular pacing-induced CHF. In normal my...

Abstract— A new development of voltage control scheme for power quality improvement such as voltage sag, swell, harmonics, and transient conditions in three-phase power systems has been proposed. Faults occurring in power distribution systems or amenities can inject the voltage sag or swell. This fault can damage or affect the power transmission and distribution. For sensitive loads, the short ...

BACKGROUND Many ion channels are preferentially located in caveolae where compartmentalisation/scaffolding with signal transduction components regulates their activity. Channels that are mechanosensitive may be additionally dependent on caveolar control of the mechanical state of the membrane. Here we test which mechanism underlies caveolar-regulation of the mechanosensitive I(Cl,swell) channel...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Articular chondrocytes dwell in an environment that is continuously changing its osmolarity as a consequence of mechanical loading, yet their volume regulation capabilities (RVD) are not fully understood. This work aimed to determine the osmotic sensitivity of freshly isolated rat chondrocytes, their RVD capabilities and to study the properties of any anion currents associated. ...

Rubber profiles fabricated by means of extrusion are widely used in civil engineering, e.g., in pipeline constructions and for window sealings. The dimensioning of injection heads for the extrusion of rubber profiles is exclusively based on empiric knowledge of the non-linear flow behaviour of elastomers, basically of the so-called die swell. The swelling of the extrudate when emerging from a c...
