For the state estimation within a longer time period, the Monte Carlo method is used. Quasi-statistical data of loads of consumer nodes are obtained by modeling of a real course of the hours change process of the load current. The results are corrected by means of measured indices of power values on small number of measuring positions. This calculation is done respecting a stochastic nature of load of consumer nodes and estimation of node voltages and currents in network sections. The proposed methodology is tested on a part of the real-life distribution network. The usage of permanent measurement of the section current increases the quality of state estimation in the distribution network.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"23 1","pages":"1791-1796 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81960086","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}

In this system, the detected electric field modulates an optical delay, which is introduced by an electro-optic coherence modulator when associated to a low-coherence optical source. The optical delay acts then as the electric field carrier and is transmitted through an optical fiber channel. At the receiver, the electric field is detected by measuring the autocorrelation of the transmitted light using a two-wave interferometer, which is matched to the optical delay in the sensing modulator.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"11 1","pages":"1075-1078 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81994791","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 system acquires data from remote signal sources and publishes them via the Internet in the real-time, while enabling the remote user to send control signals from the web-browser to the server application for the control of a PID based control system. The system involves the development of the server application using LabVIEW graphical programming language and the client application, which is a Java Applet embedded to a HTML format. Problems and limitations of achieving stable continuous control of the system by the remotely located computers are discussed. It was found that continuous control of a real time system via the Internet is possible, but a sustained virtual wire application with the current limitations of Internet technology is impossible.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"44 1","pages":"817-820 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82072711","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}

Three cutting conditions were used on workpiece material type EN24T, in turning operation. The root-mean-square value of AE (AErms) and the coherence function between the acceleration signals at the tool tip in the tangential and feed directions was studied. Three features were identified to be sensitive to tool wear AErms, coherence function in the frequency ranges 2.5-55 kHz and 18-25 kHz. Belief network based on Bayes rule was used to integrate information in order to recognise the occurrence of worn foot. The three features obtained from the three cutting conditions and machine time were used to train the network. The set of feature vectors for worn tools was divided into two equal subsets: one to train the network and the other to test it. The AErms in term of AE pressure equivalent was used to train and test the network to validate the calibrated acoustic. The overall success rate of the network in detecting a worn tool was high with low error rate.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"54 1","pages":"1541-1546 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75622984","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}

Multisine signals are designed with their relative harmonic phases selected to minimise the distortion introduced by a cubic nonlinearity on the measurement of a frequency response function. This approach is based on the observation that low crest factor signals possess properties that reduce the nonlinear effect. The resulting signals are compared with other types of low crest factor signals. It is found that the technique does not produce the lowest possible crest factors but that the signals do minimise the nonlinear distortion introduced by a cubic nonlinearity. The signals are thus termed minimum distortion multisines.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"9 1","pages":"1375-1381 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81301702","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}
