Industrial task lighting systems are studied in terms of their luminance and contrast distribution characteristics using a novel video-luminance scanning system which allows for the determination of all surface luminances within the work area. This information is used to develop optimum task lighting configurations for a range of representative industrial and assembly tasks. Experimental data show the importance of using luminance profile and contour data for the determination of contrast and glare within industrial lighting applications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129267694","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}

Particle charge was determined from observations of particle trajectories in a uniform electric field. Data were obtained for dimensionless electric fields from 1 to 13, and ion conductivity ratios of 3, 10, and infinity . The data were compared to predictions of field-diffusion theory, classical field theory, classical diffusion theory, and an empiricism formed by adding the field and diffusion approximations. Field-diffusion theory and the field plus diffusion empiricism were in excellent agreement with the measurements. Field theory was in good agreement for dimensionless fields greater than 10, and diffusion theory significantly underestimated charge for the range of dimensionless fields that were studied.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"276 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114530423","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}

Through an analytical study it was found that a careful tailoring of a field pattern is essential in realizing cell motions. Methods for detailed field analysis are developed and used to design cell-handling components. One is the FIC cell shift register, a device in which cells are stored and electrostatically transported one-by-one, just as bits are shifted in TTL shift registers. The other is the FIC cell deflector, where the cell fed from the inlet can be dielectrophoretically deflected to either of the bifurcating branches.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130114686","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}

A case study is described to monitor power quality disturbances at a representative plant and identify the disturbances that disrupt production. The sensitivities of representative electronic control equipment to the identified disturbances were measured and then projected to form a plant disturbance threshold. For the monitoring effort, six disturbance analyzers were installed at four voltage levels extending from the utility 40 kV station to 120 V control power in an individual machine tool. Voltage sags were the only disturbance at 68% of the total number of events recorded. Two PLC (programmable logic controller) transfer lines and a CNC (computerized numerically controlled) lathe were tested with a sag generator to determine the sensitivities of the equipment. The calculated sag threshold at the utility feed to the plant to disrupt production was 87% of nominal voltage for more than 8.3 ms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"294 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132789850","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 model, which is based on an approximate yet quite accurate model of its operation, clarifies the physical phenomena that take place during its switching on a resistive load. It allows also the effects of the device geometry and transport parameters on its dynamic properties to be studied. Using the theoretical model, the reasons for the superior switching performance of the BMFET are investigated, showing that together with its very low on-state voltage the BMFET has extremely fast fall times that are comparable to those of power MOSFETs. It has also been demonstrated that the model is in good quantitative agreement with the experiments. Because the model has been derived on the basis of the devices geometry and fundamental transport parameters, it is a useful tool in device design, to study the tradeoff between static and dynamic properties.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117336497","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}
