Before commencing excavation or other work where power or other cables may be buried, it is important to determine the location of cables to ensure that they are not damaged. This paper describes a method of power-cable detection and location that uses measurements of the magnetic field produced by the currents in the cable, and presents the results of tests performed to evaluate the method. Th...

broadband data networks, access networks, network monitoring & management, hybrid fiber coaxial network technology Hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) technology is emerging as one of the means of delivering high-speed data services to the home. Cable operators worldwide are deploying HFC networks to enable subscriber accesses to the World Wide Web, to Email, Chat rooms, and other data services at speed...

Temperature cables restrained from lateral movement, were measured as a function of grain height, cable location and surface coating. For the restrained conditions, the cable forces were one to nine times those previously measured for unrestrained cables. The large load increase on the restrained cables is believed to be caused by the flow profile which existed at each of the three different ca...

Nowadays, shovels play an important role in production of open pit mines and their failures result in significant production loss and considerable increase in maintenance costs. Therefore, reliability and risk analysis can help to improve production, productivity and reduce production costs. In this study, reliability of electric cable shovel of Chadormalu iron ore mine in Iran was investigated...

planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. the problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...

Abstract As a new type of material, functionally graded materials are widely used in industry, aerospace and other fields due to their special physical properties. Among them, there also many the thermal environment, existence environment will have great impact on stability moving object. Therefore, it is significance study axial motion temperature field. In this paper, taking axially plate as ...

The Trans Bay Cable (TBC) is a ±200-kilovolt (kV), 400 MW 85-km long High Voltage Direct Current (DC) buried transmission line linking Pittsburg, CA with San Francisco, CA (SF) beneath the San Francisco Estuary. The TBC runs parallel to the migratory route of various marine species, including green sturgeon, Chinook salmon, and steelhead trout. In July and August 2014, an extensive series of ma...

Let $G$ be a group with identity $e$ and $R$ be a commutative $G$-graded ring with nonzero unity $1$. In this article, we introduce the concept of graded $r$-ideals. A proper graded ideal $P$ of a graded ring $R$ is said to be graded $r$-ideal if whenever $a, bin h(R)$ such that $abin P$ and $Ann(a)={0}$, then $bin P$. We study and investigate the behavior of graded $r$-ideals to introduce ...

Broadband access technologies of DSL and Cable Modem (CM) are now widely deployed by competing telecom and cable TV network operators respectively. Fiber-based FTTP (FTTH, FTTB, etc.) will be the ultimate access solutions. This paper will examine the broadband access network evolution options for FTTP over cable TV’s HFC networks and discuss its competitiveness when compared with telecom networ...
