Beamlines are facilities that produce and deliver highly focused intense beams of radiation, typically x rays, synchrotron or neutrons, for scientific research purposes. Millions dollars spent annually to maintain operate these beamlines, oftentimes running continuously between cycles. To reduce human intervention improve productivity, mechanical sample changers often commissioned use. Designin...

In order to compare the impact of passive (like network restructuring) or active (like on-load-tap-changer) grid management measures a novel tool was developed, which performs specific load flow benchmarks tests using synthetic daily load and infeed profiles. In this paper first preliminary results of the analysis of a real urban medium voltage distribution grid with 122 substations using this ...

This paper proposes a method for extending the ability of rotary power flow controller (RPFC) using tap-changer of the RPFC’s transformers. A detailed model of the device is presented to analyze the effects of the tap changer operation on the performance of the RPFC. To evaluate the results, the RPFC model is simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC software. Dynamic operation of the RPFC on a 400 kV transm...

This manuscript chronicles the evolution of software used originally to control a diffractometer at a macromolecular crystallography beamline. The system has been augmented and rewritten. A modular and carefully organized suite of programs now handles the whole experimental environment from a single vantage point. It provides automatic logging of the experiment and communication with the user, ...

This paper presents an optimisation system software developed for the determination of optimal index positions of cutting tools on the automatic tool changer (ATC) or turret magazine of CNC machine tools. Position selection is performed using a genetic algorithm (GA) which takes a list of cutting tools assigned to certain machining operations together with total number of index positions availa...

With increasing frequency the news media reports that the planet is warming, pollutants are contaminating the environment, energy costs are rising, and precious natural resources are dwindling. These reports are sounding an alarm that we need to change the way we manufacture products so as to minimize the negative impact of industrial operations on the environment, the workforce, and the surrou...
