Instead of transmitting power with the same number of phases as it was generated, HPO transmission alters the power generated into 6, 9, or even 12 phases. This process results in some unique benefits, which are described. HPO transmission is explained by reviewing the phasor relationships for three, six, and twelve-phase systems. A brief outline of the history of HPO research in the United States is included. An explanation of the reasons behind the environmental benefits as well as technical issues covering the equipment modifications for the conversion is considered. Some of the factors necessary to determine the economic value of HPO transmission as an alternative to conventional three-phase designs are outlined.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":166693,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technical Conference on Southern Tier","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133995090","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 technology used is 1 micron CMOS p-well. SUNY-RISC implements 38 instructions. Some instructions require a double word, for instance load register direct and call.

This idea is used to derive the impulse response in terms of parameters such as the zero-dispersion wavelength, the second derivative of the refractive index, and the linewidth of the source. The result indicates an asymmetrical impulse response, and the corresponding transfer function has a low-pass characteristic with a first-order pole which may be readily determined from the fiber parameters. The derived impulse response is applied to the case of a simple fiber-optic communication system configured as a phase diversity receiver, to illustrate how a linear systems approach, under certain approximations, may be used to predict and analyze the behavior of such a system. The analysis includes calculations involving the field amplitudes in (n*n) hybrid couplers, and how such couplers must be connected in order to obtain the desired optical components in the phase diversity scheme is described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":166693,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technical Conference on Southern Tier","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129985285","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 gettering process can be modeled by dual activation energies. The lower activation energy (small diffusant/substrate interaction) is associated with diffusants having no other diffusant atoms within their interaction distance, while a larger activation energy (large diffusant/diffusant interaction) represents diffusants with their movements restricted by clustering within the interaction distance of similar species. The gettering process is investigated through computer simulations of diffusion where the copper-copper interaction is included in the diffusion model, thus allowing copper atoms to be trapped by other atoms/clusters within the interaction distance. Simulation results validate the gettering process under these above assumptions and reveal several interesting dependencies of the process itself upon the initial implant profiles and doses.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":166693,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technical Conference on Southern Tier","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116627544","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}

Connection to the body is achieved by the use of commercial, self-adhering electrodes. These electrodes provided the most consistent and reliable signals and are not affected by movements of the wearer. The signal from the electrodes is amplified using a discrete implementation of an instrumentation amplifier with current limiting at the input to prevent possible electrical shock to the user. The signal is then fed into a filter section with adjustable gain. The filter section provides final filtering of the signal and allows adjustment of the signal level. The output of the filter section is connected to a biasing network which shifts the analog voltage to a level usable by a timing section. The timing section then generates a positive pulse at its output for each detected heart beat.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":166693,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technical Conference on Southern Tier","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131978156","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 modular structure provides an 'erector set' at full scale with interlocking units standardized. Each unit is labeled with its exact weight. No unit exceeds 600 lb. A user-friendly PC program is used to determine structure strength by guy tensions and anchor locations. After selection of the structure type the program asks for several inputs at the structure location. Structure height, guy slope, load parameters, factors, etc. are inputs. Computer program output gives guy tension and checks comprehensive loads. The user determines if computed tensions are viable for the chosen guy/anchor system and modifies the program to suit the parameters and chosen guy/anchor system. With the results of the design program for a given structure type, the user determines a layout for the structure foundation and the required anchors.

It is developed from the homogeneous scalar wave equation, and a comparison is made with vector wave equation results based on the Kottler-Franz formulas. The aim is to characterize the sources from measurements made on a surface so as to allow transformation to other locations. The power spectral density is used as the most meaningful characteristic. The method requires measurement of the cross spectral density of the electric or magnetic field. The sensitivity of the Huygens principle method to location error is investigated, and a computer simulation example is presented to illustrate the method.
