To improve energy con- sumption efficiency, a reliable IM health condition moni- toring 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 pro- posed in this work to conduct incipient air-gap eccentricity fault detection in IMs. The fault harmonic series are syn- thesized to enhance fault features. Fault related local spectra are processed to derive fault indicators for IM air- gap eccentricity diagnosis. The effectiveness of the pro- posed harmonic synthesis technique is examined experi- mentally by IMs with static air-gap eccentricity and dynamic air-gap eccentricity states under different load conditions. Test results show that the developed harmonic synthesis technique can extract fault features effectively for initial IM air-gap eccentricity fault detection.展开更多

Although the feasibility of infiltrating an air-gapped computer has been proved in recent years, data exfiltration from such sys- tems is still considered to be a challenging task. In this paper we present Powermittcr, a novel approach that can exfiltrate data through an air-gapped computer via its power adapter. Our method utilizes the switched-mode pow- er supply, which exists in all of the laptops, desktop computers and servers nowadays. We demonstrate that a malware can indirectly con- trol the electromagnetic emission frequency of the power supply by leveraging the CPU utili- zation. Furthermore, we show that the emitted signals can be received and demodulated by a dedicated device. We present the proof of con- cept design of the power covert channel and implement a prototype of Powermitter consist- ing of a transmitter and a receiver. The trans- mitter leaks out data by using a variant binary frequency shift keying modulation, and the emitted signal can be captured and decoded by software based virtual oscilloscope through such covert channel. We tested Powermitter on three different computers. The experiment re-suits show the feasibility of this power covert channel. We show that our method can also be used to leak data from different types of embedded systems which use switching power supply.展开更多

In this paper, we introduce a novel air-gap coaxial TSV that is suiTab, for such RF applications. Firstly, the detailed fabrication process is described to explain how to acquire such a structure. Then, an Resistor Inductance Conductance Capacitance （RLGC） model is developed to profile the transverse electromagnetic field effect of the proposed air-gap TSV. The model is further verified by a 3D field solver program through the S-parameter comparison. With reference to the numerically simulated results, this analytical model delivers a maximum deviation of less than 6%0, on the conditions of varying diameters, outer to inner radius ratios, and SU-8 central angles, etc. Taking advantages of scalability of the model, a number of air-gap-based TSV designs are simulated, providing 1.6-4.0 times higher bandwidth than the con- ventional coaxial TSVs and leading to an efficient high frequency vertical RF interconnection solution for 3D ICs.展开更多

Based on the results of the research project on the minimum air clearance for 800-kV HVDC substations at high altitudes, and also on the monthly and yearly statistics of the atmospheric data of last ten years and the altitude correction of the atmospheric data of last ten years, the altitude correction of the air-gaps for the 800-kV DC system under plan, 500-kV AC system to be built, and 1000-kV AC system under plan in the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the Yungui Plateau in China were studied with parameter G method. Correction factors for switching and lightning impulses were calculatod and then compared with those achieved according to IEC 71. It is shown that IEC 71 is appropriate for damp regions, and correction factors differ between plateau regions in China because of different atmospheric conditions.展开更多

A major criticality of such machines is the occurrence of large air-gap field harmonics due to winding distribution and to slotting effects. Predicting such harmonics analytically with adequate accuracy is a good way to significantly speed-up subsequent investigations, concerning the rotor effects of the field harmonics in terms of rotor losses. This paper proposes different analytical formulations for this purpose, covering the case of a generic number of stator phases and differing by how slotting effects are taken into account. The various approaches proposed are evaluated by comparing analytical results with finite-element analysis computations on a sample machine geometries.展开更多

The modulation process is first investigated, and the cogging torque generation mechanism is analyzed based on the distribution of the air-gap magnetic flux density harmonics. Thus, the relationship between the air-gap field harmonics and the cogging torque is revealed, and the contribution of each harmonic to the cogging torque is calculated using the proposed method. Simultaneously, the characteristics of the cogging torque, including amplitude and frequency, are analyzed. Subsequently, the calculated cogging torque is compared with the simulated torque using finite element analysis. The two results exhibit considerable consistency, confirming the feasibility of the proposed method. Moreover, a prototype experiment is conducted, and the cogging torque is measured to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

By comparing and analyzing the differences in gap breakdown voltage between the sand & dust environment and clean air, some problems were investigated, such as effects of wind speed and particle concentration on the breakdown voltage, differences of gap discharge characteristics between the dust & sand medium and the clean air medium. The results showed that compared with the clean air environment, the dust & sand environment had a decreased gap breakdown voltage. The longer the gap distance, the greater the voltage drop; the breakdown voltage decreased with the increase of particle concentration in flow. With the increase of wind speed, the breakdown voltage decreased at the beginning and rose afterwards. The results of the paper may helpful for further research regarding the unidentified flashover and external insulation characteristics of the HV power grid in the dust & sand environment.展开更多

In the experiment, it was found that the parameters of porous media have a significant influence on the desalination(evaporation) efficiency of AGDD. Although porous media are widely used as evaporation components, the factors affecting their evaporation efficiency are not fully understood. The evaporation process in super hydrophilic porous media is rarely discussed. A large number of experiments have been carried out based on AGDD. The introduction of statistical methods solves the problem that experiments cannot distinguish the contribution of complex parameters of porous media to evaporation efficiency. Stepwise regression analysis is used to reduce the dimensionality of the independent variables and construct regression equations(coefficient of determination R~2 reached 81.3%-96.8%). Evaporation flux correlations and dimensionless mass transfer correlations are established based on porous media parameters. We found that the surface evaporation of super hydrophilic porous media can be divided into three stages: diffusion evaporation, capillary evaporation, and thermal evaporation. The evaporation efficiency of these three stages is controlled by the vapor diffusion process resistance, capillary force, and energy supply. At low saturation, evaporation efficiency is limited by the resistance of the vapor diffusion process. The evaporation efficiency of the porous media is affected predominantly by the pore size, the specific surface area, porosity and the characteristic length. At high saturation, the evaporation efficiency becomes influenced primarily by the permeability. A small thickness and a high hydrophilicity also improve the evaporation efficiency.展开更多
