The fact that the samples are characterized by different density and thickness explains why various contrasts are obtained in the end results. Cone-beam CT uses a volumetric beam to scan the test object and therefore obtains a series of 2D images which are reconstructed into a 3D model. During the reconstruction process, the X-ray tube emits a polychromatic spectrum, called beam hardening, by which artefacts are often created. This process takes place because the low energy spectrum part in the material is better absorbed than the higher energy one. The basic application of this method is the visualization of the inner and outer structures of electronic components, packaging and interconnection technologies. This paper describes the basics of CT, the typical beam hardening artefacts and method to reduce their influence on the imaging quality of the measured objects. Additionally, examples of this testing method are presented.","PeriodicalId":342004,"journal":{"name":"27th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2004.","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131230235","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}

There are many different methods for on-line diagnostics of incipient rotor faults (broken rotor bars, rings etc.) that occur during their operation. One of the most frequently used method is the frequency analysis of the stator current using the FFT-transformation (MCSA) method. This is easy to apply and is non-invasive with respect to the motor construction. The subject of consideration in the following material is the application of this method when the motor has an asymmetrical power supply and is also using an autonomous power invertor. Also presented are the characteristic frequencies from experiments with a broken induction motor rotor bar as well as possible ways for diagnosis of this condition. Different ways to implement this method are given when the induction motor has a frequency converter supply.","PeriodicalId":342004,"journal":{"name":"27th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2004.","volume":"125 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124666313","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}

Using the Shannon's formula, a new term information spectrum of water is introduced, in which the information related to one pair of water molecules as a function of the discrete values of the intramolecular bond energies is represented. The experimental results showing why this information spectrum as a method registered the weak physical and chemical influences on the water are represented.","PeriodicalId":342004,"journal":{"name":"27th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2004.","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123247409","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}

It has been found that some files have been, using some type of a test, marked as normal, but using another type of a test, marked as non-normal. It is possible to find similar results by normality testing of data files obtained from production. Therefore, complementary tools for assessment of normality of the files under test have to be used. This paper compares results of normality testing of some simulated files by three basic tests of normality: test of elective skewness and kurtosis, Anderson-Darling test, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. It gives also directions indicating which other tools of exploratory analysis have to be used for verification of results obtained by different tests of normality.","PeriodicalId":342004,"journal":{"name":"27th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2004.","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122886123","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 basic reliability characteristics have been assessed by means of a statistical interval check with unilateral confidence interval and statistic point checks - the probability of failure-free operation, the failure current parameter of the system and failure-intensity of its elements. The system probability is evaluated in all possible states with the help of a Markov model. The probability for transition from one technical condition to another is also evaluated. The possibilities of increasing the system's reliability and that of its passive and active electronic elements are analyzed. These include the capacitor battery charging scheme, impulse-discharge lamp, pulse ionizer, and control block.
