The aim of this paper is to present an experimental validation of a frequency-domain approach to the solution of the lightning electromagnetic field-to-buried cable coupling equations. The coupling to the inner conductor is evaluated using the concept of cable transfer impedance. The theoretical model and relevant computer code are tested using experimental data on lightning-induced currents in...

A new prosthetic add-on device is being developed which promises to provide an economical means of adding power assist to a patient's existing conventional cable-operated prosthesis. Only minor modifications by a prosthetist would be required. Patients wearing conventional cable-operated above-elbow prostheses, who lack adequate function because they cannot generate the necessary cable excursio...

A cable operator chooses to bundle or provide programs à la carte by striking a balance between maximizing total surplus and minimizing transfer payments to program providers. We show, using general demand and cost functions, that a cable operator’s decision to bundle maximizes total producer surplus if the cable operator’s bargaining power is sufficiently high, and that a cable operator in a w...

Phase and cable identification is a challenging issue. Power-line communication technology is applied to identify cable and phase of power distribution systems. Power cable circuits have only a limited ability to carry higher frequencies. Typically transformers prevent propagating the higher frequency carrier signal. The proposed method uses the limited propagation ability to identify the cable...

This paper demonstrates a new type of interconnects to fulfill the primary function of axons: transmitting electrical signals over long distances and at high speeds. The interconnect, which we call ‘‘ionic cable’’, uses ions to transmit signals, and is built entirely with soft, elastic materials—elastomers and gels. The ionic cable is highly transparent, and remains functioning after being stre...

considering the importance of grafted seedlings for the development of pecan orchards in subtropical regions of iran, and in order to achieve a scientifically practical method of producing grafted pecan seedlings, this project was carried out in safiabad agricultural research center of dezful during 2011-12. the project investigated three grafting methods including hot cable, hypocotyl and late...

Over the past two decades, cable television has largely supplanted over-the-air broadcast as a TV distribution medium, at least in most urban and suburban areas. Several years ago, enterprising companies concluded that they could leverage the extremely wide bandwidth of cable TV systems required to deliver broadcast-quality television as a high-speed conduit for broadband data communications. T...

The remote-PHY (R-PHY) modular cable network for data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) service conducts the physical layer processing for the transmissions over the broadcast cable in a remote node. In contrast, the cloud radio access network (CRAN) for long-term evolution (LTE) cellular wireless services conducts all baseband physical layer processing in a central baseband u...

As the time between initial concept and commissioning of submarine cable systems decreases, the need for automated tools and procedures to facilitate the acceleration of the route and cable engineering processes increases. Cable installers are now faced with more projects and less time to design, engineer, and install these systems. These increased demands mean that, in many cases, traditional ...

abstract to resist lateral loads in concrete buildings, usually systems such as flexural frame, shear wall or their combinations are used. using x form of cable bracing in order to strengthen concrete buildings is a new method. this system is more economical compared with the other systems due to cables low weight, high tensile resistance, easy performance and less maintenance problems. in this...
