These changes appear to arise from characteristic alterations in membrane capacitance and conductance as the cells differentiate.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125808034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to accomplish the analysis with a less experienced engineer, thereby multiplying the available nationwide pool of expertise. Additionally, repeated use of the system imparts knowledge to the user. The process of applying this AI approach involves training the user, measurements (optional), diagnosis, and reducing the power system harmonics to achieve acceptable power supply quality. The emphasis is on the diagnostic module.

A number of sources of vibrations and audible noise exists: external mechanical; external electrical; internal electrical; and electromagnetic forces. All these sources are discussed individually. Measurements show that an adapted motor construction combined with independent choppers for field and armature winding yields acceptable results. Except for the influence of the brushes, the internal mechanical sources are negligible. For predicting the vibrations and the audible noise originating from electromagnetic forces, the concept of Maxwell stress can be adapted. The forces may be split into symmetrical and asymmetrical components, and a fourier analysis may be used. An optimized main pole shape can be obtained using the finite element technique.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"20 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129036806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method is based on the concept of superimposing a common offset signal, which has both proper amplitude and pattern, on three-phase current references, and does not need any additional circuit. It is verified that the switching interference occurs more easily and directly depends on the period of the delay time. Moreover, the switching delay time also significantly influences the effect of limit cycle suppressions. It is seen that with the proposed method the switching interference is greatly suppressed even if the switching delay time exists. Simulations and experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and some results are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125345055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
