ABB switchgear safety hazards passive & active arc fault protection by David ...Keren Meers
The document discusses safety hazards associated with low voltage and medium voltage switchgear, including contact with live parts and arc flash fires. It notes that standards provide guidance on electric shock protection but not requirements for arc fault containment. New regulations emphasize preventing live work and protecting workers from arcing faults. Effective safety strategies prioritize eliminating risks, containing risks, and personal protective equipment as a last resort. Internal arc fault testing guidelines have evolved over time to better evaluate switchgear designs. Active arc protection devices can rapidly detect and mitigate arcs, but passive containment is a more proven method to prevent arc exposure and allow for switchgear operation without live work.

Regular maintenance, worker training and safety programs are important to reduce arc flash hazards by preventing faults and minimizing exposure times.
IRJET- Implementation and Automation of Air BlasterIRJET Journal
The document discusses the implementation and automation of air blasters. Air blasters are devices used to prevent clogging in silos, bins, and hoppers by releasing compressed air. They traditionally used two-way valves operated manually by laborers, which could cause errors in synchronization. To address this, the authors propose automating air blasters using solenoid valves controlled by an Arduino circuit and Bluetooth. This allows wireless control and creates a highly coordinated display. Air blasters have various applications in industries and events to clear clogs, aerate materials, and add visual effects with confetti or smoke. The automated design aims to improve reliability and safety while reducing costs.
Our speaker this week is David Peng. David has more than 25 years of experience in the electronics industry, 15 of which were at EMS companies. At Foxconn, he led 60 R&D teams, and served as a Sony strategy product PM for more than 2 years. David's also led the product management and marketing departments at LiteOn Corp and Jabil Circuit for many years. He has rich knowledge and experience in designing products, marketing promotion, and project management. David has now established SlingX Corp. with his partner, Wade Ho, to share their experiences and contacts to provide quality services and advice to startups and entrepreneurs.
Most lectures tell startups and entrepreneurs they should follow the PLM design processes, but rarely tell them “how” to design a good product. In his talk, David wants to discuss 8 key processes in designing a product from the viewpoint of design and project management.
This document discusses polyfuses, which are resettable fuses made of PPTC material. Polyfuses provide overcurrent protection and automatically reset after fault conditions. They operate by rapidly increasing resistance when temperatures rise due to excessive current, which decreases current flow. This protects circuits from damage. Polyfuses come in various forms and ratings and offer advantages over conventional fuses like longer life, compact size, and no need for replacement after tripping. They are widely used to protect electronics, appliances, power supplies and more.
Surge protection can improve reliability, availability, and return on assets (ROA) for process plants. Surges are a leading cause of up to 30% of premature electronics failures. While techniques like lightning protection, bonding, and UPS systems help mitigate surges, they do not eliminate the risk. Strategically applying surge protection, especially for critical assets or those at high risk, can directly reduce failures and increase availability. This improves ROA by minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Prioritizing protection based on asset impact and risk exposure maximizes the financial benefits of surge protection.

FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM FROM EARTH FAULT, SHORT CIRCUIT AND OVERLOAD FAULTSIRJET Journal
This document describes a feeder protection system designed to protect a bus bar from overload faults, short circuits, and earth faults. The system uses an Arduino microcontroller along with current sensors to monitor current flowing through the feeder. If an overload, short circuit, or earth fault is detected based on the current readings, the Arduino will trigger relays to disconnect the faulty section of the feeder. The system provides automatic protection of feeders from different fault conditions while allowing for automatic reconnection if a temporary fault clears. The goal is to design a low-cost and reliable protection system for electrical power distribution feeders.
The document discusses coordination of protective devices in power distribution systems. It defines coordination as selecting devices with time-current characteristics to clear faults in a preset sequence. The key types of coordination covered are:
1) Fuse-fuse, where the protecting fuse operates before the protected fuse.
2) Recloser-recloser, where reclosers can operate in instantaneous or time-delay modes.
3) Recloser-fuse, where the recloser protects against temporary faults and the fuse protects against permanent faults.
4) Circuit breaker-fuse, where either can act as the main or backup protective device.
5) Circuit breaker-recloser,

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
