in this paper, a new method based on branch placement for the optimal positioning of phasor measurement units (pmus) in power systems is proposed. in this method, the pmus are in type of single-channel and are installed at the beginning of the branches. therefore, they are able to measure the bus voltages. also, the installation of the pmus on the branches increases the security of observabilit...

Abstract: One of basic principle of any organization is to assure about obtained figures from measuring products. If the measured data was not trusted, will be lead to a wrong decisions regarding the approval or rejection of products and obviously the cost would be great. First cases in measurement systems analysis which crossing minds are criteria for approval or rejection any mea...

In this fast-paced world, it is inevitable that the manual labor employed in industries will be replaced by their automated counterparts. There are a number of existing solutions which deal with object dimensions estimation but only few them suitable for deployment industry. The reason being trade-off between cost, time processing, accuracy and system complexity. proposed aims to automate menti...

Background: In order to assign appropriate planning target volume (PTV) margins, each centre should measure the patient positioning deviations for their set-up techniques. At the Royal Marsden Hospital, UK, a conformal shell (cast) system is used when a stereotactic frame is not suitable. In this paper, we report on a series of measurements with the aim of obtaining the systematic and random ...
