The paper puts forward a method which uses wavelet multi-resolution analysis to extract characteristics of voltage flicker, establishes the arithmetic model of voltage fluctuation and flicker, and it can detect the amplitude modulation waveform of the voltage flicker, and examine abrupt-change time, frequency, and amplitude of the amplitude modulation waveform. A voltage fluctuation and flicker...

The curve of mean critical flicker frequency as a function of illumination has been determined for the reaction of the sunfish Lepomis to flicker. It exhibits expected quantitative disagreements with the curve of mean critical illumination as a function of flicker frequency in the same organism. The form of the dependence of the variation of critical frequency of flicker upon illumination can b...

PURPOSE It has been shown that stimulation with diffuse luminance flicker induces vasodilatation in the human retina and increases optic nerve head (ONH) blood flow. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of a short-term increase in intraocular pressure on flicker-induced changes in ONH blood flow and retinal vessel diameters. METHODS In a group of 15 healthy volunteers, ...

The paper starts with an overview of different concepts of short-circuit power: the IEC standard, the effective and the apparent short-circuit power. The short-circuit power is a key concept in characterising the ability of a power system to feed fluctuating loads without excessive flicker levels. Its apparent value (from measurements) is generally higher than its standard value (from calculati...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of diffuse luminance flicker of different frequencies on retinal vessel diameter in the human eye. METHODS Nine healthy subjects participated in the study. A retinal vessel analyzer (RVA; Zeiss, Jena, Germany) was modified to allow for continuous measurement of vessel diameter during flicker stimulation. With this technique, the light used for measurement of ...

Cone signals in the luminance or achromatic pathway were investigated by measuring how the perceptual timing of M- or L-cone-detected flicker depended on temporal frequency and chromatic adaptation. Relative timings were measured, as a function of temporal frequency, by superimposing M- or L-cone-isolating flicker on "equichromatic" flicker (flicker of the same wavelength as the background) and...

We investigated the effect that spatially coincident luminance increments (luminance pedestals) have on flicker thresholds at several eccentricities and target sizes. Luminance pedestals elevated flicker amplitude-thresholds more when stimuli were presented eccentrically, both at low (4 Hz) and high (20 Hz) temporal frequencies. Altering the size of the eccentric stimulus failed to equate centr...

It has been shown that diffuse luminance flicker increases optic nerve head blood flow. The current study has been performed to quantify changes in retinal blood flow during flicker stimulation. In a group of 11 healthy volunteers, red blood cell velocity and retinal vessel diameters were assessed with bi-directional laser Doppler velocimetry and the Zeiss retinal vessel analyzer before, during...

Traditional flicker detection methods accurately extract the amplitude envelope as the premise, the complexity of large amount of computation. This paper presents a new real-time detection of voltage flicker method, analysis method with recursive frequency carrier signal frequency; use of the adjacent three-point sampling data, the frequency carrier signal frequency, sampling frequency voltage ...

1 flicker rates, but when the frequency is raised to 5-20 Hz, color flicker fusion occurs, where the e s flicker is seen as a variation of intensity only. Th ubject can eliminate all sensation of flicker by h p balancing the intensities of the two lights (at whic oint the lights are said to be equiluminant). When r c the intensities are not balanced, the luminance flicke an be seen at frequenci...
