Partial discharge (PD) measurements are an effective tool for insulation assessment of high-voltage (HV) equipment widely used in both HV laboratories and in field tests. This paper presents the design of a test platform for electrical detection of partial discharges that contribute to the understanding of the phenomena. The test set-up comprises a collection of electrodes for the production of...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are reports of successful resective epilepsy surgery for pediatric patients with epilepsy and generalized epileptiform discharges when they had focal epileptogenic lesions identified by MRI. However, there is limited information regarding adult patients with epilepsy who have both generalized epileptiform discharges and focal epileptogenic lesions. METHODS To inve...

Low-voltage rapid discharges (or fast EEG ictal activity) constitute a characteristic electrophysiological pattern in focal seizures of human epilepsy. They are characterized by a decrease of signal voltage with a marked increase of signal frequency (typically beyond 25 Hz). They have long been observed in stereoelectroencephalographic (SEEG) signals recorded with intra-cerebral electrodes, gen...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the significance of simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) recording during 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F] fluoro-D-glucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) in childhood partial epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 46 children with partial epilepsy who underwent simultaneous EEG during PET. We compared the epileptogenic area of several EEG features including epilep...

Partial discharges are caused by various defects such as voids, shield protrusions, contaminants, advanced stages of water tree, etc and known the main cause of breakdown in insulation materials. Partial discharge (PD) location is a powerful and useful tool for the maintenance and operation of electrical power distribution cables. This paper describes the application of two digital signal-proce...

background: we evaluated the diagnostic value of electroencephalography (eeg), video-eeg monitoring (vem) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the brain with epilepsy protocol in patients with complex partial epilepsy. methods: forty-two consecutive patients underwent complete neurological examination, eeg, and mri with a modified epilepsy protocol. a subset of these patients (n = 29) also u...

Abstract — The assessment of partial discharges (PDs) gives important information pertaining to the reliability of the high voltage power equipment. PDs occur in weaker regions like voids, cracks, and imperfections present inside the insulation. The PD is generally accepted as the predominant cause of long term degradation and failure of electrical insulation. Simulation environment is a signif...
