Induction motors (IMs) are commonly used in various industrial applications. To improve energy consumption efficiency, a reliable IM health condition monitoring system is very useful to detect IM fault at its earliest stage to prevent operation degradation, and malfunction of IMs. An intelligent harmonic synthesis technique is proposed in this work to conduct incipient air-gap eccentricity faul...

When a fault occurs in power systems, protective devices detect fault areas and disconnect the faulted sections of the network by opening circuit breakers, fuses etc.. Some loads become unavailable after the fault and should be reenergized, as quickly as possible, after the fault has been isolated. The re-energizing procedure is called service restoration. In Navy shipboard power systems (SPS),...

Cloud computing is an emerging technology in distributed computing. It is a collection of interconnected virtual machines as to facilitate pay per use model as per the demand and requirement of the user. The primary aim of cloud computing is to provide efficient access to remote and geographically distributed resources without losing the property of reliability. In order to make these virtual m...

Process allocation is important for fault-tolerant multi-computer systems since it directly aaects the performance and dependability of the system. In this paper, we consider load-balancing process allocation for fault-tolerant systems that balances the load before as well as after faults start to degrade the performance of the system. We show two schemes to tolerate multiple faults in the pass...

In optical WDM networks, since each lightpath can carry a huge mount of traffic, failures may seriously damage the end-user applications. Hence fault-tolerance becomes an important issue on these networks. The light path which carries traffic during normal operation is called as primary path. The traffic is rerouted on a backup path in case of a failure. In this paper we propose to design a rel...

Abstract –– In distributed computing environments, fault–tolerance is an important objective, especially for parallel applications. Many distributed computing environments achieve fault–tolerance by periodic checkpointing. This has the advantage of relative ease of implementation and can be considered equivalent to task migration. However, there are two main disadvantages of such environments. ...

Queueing system model has been used to study the performance of Global Memory Management Systems. We extended the AMVA solution presented in 1] to model a multi-class system where applications can have diierent access patterns, i.e., diierent page fault rates. We believe this model is more accurate since it can capture sudden changes in application behavior when predicting the response time of ...

To provide the performance analysis of off-line scheduling algorithms which address the issues of fault tolerance, reliability, real-time, task precedence constraints and heterogeneity in real time systems. The performance measures of these algorithms on which they are differentiated on each other are performance, reliability, schedulability. To compare the performance of backup overloading tec...

A new method has been developed for the detection of broken rotor bars fault in squirrel cage induction motor during startup regimes. The incipient detection of fault is made by using DWT analysis of FIR low pass filtered original startup transient current signal. The extracted particular characteristic evolution of the time-varying signal is used as a fault index. The method was tested using h...

The reward history of a stimulus can yield strong attentional selection biases. Indeed, capture be triggered by previously rewarded items which are neither salient nor relevant for the ongoing task, even when is clearly counter-productive to actually obtain outcome. Therefore, value-driven (VDAC) has been argued an automatic attention mechanism. Our study aimed at putting VDAC automaticity dire...
