ions and Presentations. The PAC-C3D factory will give each Control one factory for Abstraction creation, and a list (which can be empty) of factories for Presentations creation, corresponding to each kind of existing Presentation on its node. If allowed by its distribution policy, then the Control will ask the Abstraction factory to create a real Abstraction. Next, the Control will ask each Pre...

We present two path planning algorithms for mobile robots that are connected by cable to a fixed base. Our algorithms efficiently compute the shortest path and control strategy that lead the robot to the target location considering cable length and obstacle interactions. First, we focus on cable-obstacle collisions. We introduce and formally analyze algorithms that build and search an overlappe...

In electric power systems, power cable operation under normal conditions is very important. Various cable faults will happen in practical applications. Recognizing the cable faults correctly and in a timely manner is crucial. In this paper we propose a method that an annealed chaotic competitive learning network recognizes power cable types. The result shows a good performance using the support...

Since the high bandwidth and popular usage are the characteristics of cable network, it becomes one of the main solutions for residential network. The cable network is a kind of asymmetric bandwidth architecture, which generates certain performance issues. This article first discusses the issues stemmed from asymmetric bandwidth. It then briefly introduces Data over Cable Service Interface Spec...

Based on the principle of time domain reflectometry(TDR) cable length measurement, the principle error of the TDR cable length measurement is analyzed. Methods for reducing cable length measurement error are analyzed. Two cable length measurement systems based on the TDR principle are designed. The high-precision time interval measurement module is the core of the first measurement system. The ...

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on the ampacity of the prefabricated straight-through joint of a 110 kV high voltage cable. Thermal modelling revealed that the critical spot limiting the ampacity of this type of cable joint is located on its crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation section. The axial distribution of the thermal field in this type of cable joint was al...

This paper presents a semi-analytical approximation for a two-dimensional (2D) tension analysis of submarine cables during laying operations. In the analysis, based on geometric compatibility relations and equilibrium equations, a set of non-linear differential equations are obtained. The present model considers effects of ocean currents, cable ship motion, pay-out rate, water depth and materia...

An index system for the health-status evaluation of cable-stayed bridges is presented based on a set of dissimilarity measures (abbr. DM) of the cable force of grouped cables. The DMs and its corresponding health status labels derived by the serviceability limit states of a bridge are determined by the combination of the finite element method and the influence matrix method. The Monte-Carlo met...

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it defines a basic set of managed objects for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based management of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS)-compliant Cable Modems and Cable Modem Termination Systems. This memo obsoletes...

Two summer outbreaks of humidifier fever (HF) are described in a microprocessor factory (factory A) and a printing factory (factory B). The air in each factory was humidified intermittently and controlled by present humidistats operating to maintain a relative humidity of 45% by an air handler incorporating a spray humidifier in factory A and two ceiling mounted spray humidifiers in factory B. ...
