Online and location detection of rotor winding inter-turn short circuits are an important direction in the field of fault diagnosis in turbo-generators. This area is facing many difficulties and challenges. This study is based on the principles associated with the U-shaped detection coil method. Compared with dynamic eccentricity faults, the characteristics of the variations in the main magnetic field after a turn-to-turn short circuit in rotor windings were analyzed and the unique characteristics were extracted. We propose that the degree of a turn-to-turn short circuit can be judged by the difference in the induction voltage of the double U-shaped detection coils mounted on the stator core. Here, the faulty slot position was determined by the local convex point formed by the difference in the induced voltage. Numerical simulation was used here to determine the induced voltage characteristics in the double U-shaped coils caused by the turn-to-turn short circuit fault. We analyzed the dynamic eccentricity fault as well as combined the fault of a turn-to-turn short circuit and dynamic eccentricity. Finally, we demonstrate the positive anti-interference performance associated with this fault detection method. This new online detection method is satisfactory in terms of sensitivity, speed, and positioning, and overall performance is superior to the traditional online detection methods.

In order to solve the safety problem of disassembling the grounding wire temporarily for line maintenance and prevent an anthropogenic short-circuit accident from happening, this paper firstly proposes two safe and convenient detection methods based on directly signal injecting and induced voltage. Then, adopt the power system simulation software PSCAD/EMTDC to build model, some important factors affecting the effect of detecting are studied, which include frequency of signal, no-load transformer, magnetic induced voltage, joint use on the same tower, etc. Finally, a temporary ground wire detection device is developed which is based on the detection methods proposed and also based on modern power electronics technology and signal processing technology, and the field test verify the feasibility and practicability. The developed detection device has some advantages, such as safe-testing, simple structure and operation, easy promotion and so on.

Damage detection methods developed in the literature are affected by the presence of outlier measurements. These measurements can prevent small levels of damage to be detected. Therefore, a method to eliminate the effects of outlier measurements is proposed in this article. The method uses the difference in fits to examine how deleting an observation affects the predicted value of a model. This allows the observations that have a large influence on the model created, to be identified. These observations are the outlier measurements and they are eliminated from the database before the application of damage detection methods. Eliminating the outliers before the application of damage detection methods allows the normal procedures to detect damage, to be implemented. A multiple-regression-based damage detection method, which uses the natural frequencies as both the independent and dependent variables, is also developed in this article. A beam structure model and an experimental wooden bridge structure are analysed using the multiple-regression-based damage detection method with and without the application of the method proposed to eliminate the effects of outliers. The results obtained demonstrate that smaller levels of damage can be detected when the effects of outlier measurements are eliminated using the method proposed in this article.

Saliency region detection methods have become one of the hotspots in the field of image processing as an important method to improve the real-time and accurate analysis of massive data. Integrating more effective prior knowledge is a viable direction for improving the performance of saliency region detection methods. Most of the methods based on background prior and boundary connectivity prior assume the boundary area of the image as the background, by restraining the background to highlight the salient area. When the boundary area of the image does not describe the background well (such as a large difference in border area features), if the entire frame of the image is put together to compute the background feature, the calculation of the background feature will be inaccurate. In view of the above shortcomings, this paper proposed a saliency region detection method based on background and spatial position. This method carried on the image boundary super pixel clustering, determined the background feature according to the clustering center, and used the difference between the super pixel on the image and the background super pixel, and its spatial position to calculate the salient of the super pixels. This approach used MATLAB to program and experiment. The method was compared with a series of the state-of-the-art methods. The AUC of proposed algorithm reaches 0.839, and the MAE is 0.220, showing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is one of the most terrible security threats that organizations face today. At present, two major RAT detection methods are host-based and network-based detection methods. To complement one another’s strengths, this article proposes a phased RATs detection method by combining double-side features (PRATD). In PRATD, both host-side and network-side features are combined to build detection models, which is conducive to distinguishing the RATs from benign programs because that the RATs not only generate traffic on the network but also leave traces on the host at run time. Besides, PRATD trains two different detection models for the two runtime states of RATs for improving the True Positive Rate (TPR). The experiments on the network and host records collected from five kinds of benign programs and 20 famous RATs show that PRATD can effectively detect RATs, it can achieve a TPR as high as 93.609% with a False Positive Rate (FPR) as low as 0.407% for the known RATs, a TPR 81.928% and FPR 0.185% for the unknown RATs, which suggests it is a competitive candidate for RAT detection.

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been used increasingly to characterize long-track speed skating. We aimed to estimate the accuracy of IMUs for use in phase identification of long-track speed skating. Twelve healthy competitive athletes on a university long-track speed skating team participated in this study. Foot pressure, acceleration and knee joint angle were recorded during a 1000-m speed skating trial using the foot pressure system and IMUs. The foot contact and foot-off timing were identified using three methods (kinetic, acceleration and integrated detection) and the stance time was also calculated. Kinetic detection was used as the gold standard measure. Repeated analysis of variance, intra-class coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots were used to estimate the extent of agreement between the detection methods. The stance time computed using the acceleration and integrated detection methods did not differ by more than 3.6% from the gold standard measure. The ICCs ranged between 0.657 and 0.927 for the acceleration detection method and 0.700 and 0.948 for the integrated detection method. The limits of agreement were between 90.1% and 96.1% for the average stance time. Phase identification using acceleration and integrated detection methods is valid for evaluating the kinematic characteristics during long-track speed skating.

The main principle of vibration-based damage detection in structures is to interpret the changes in dynamic properties of the structure as indicators of damage. In this study, the mode shape damage index (MSDI) method was used to identify discrete damages in plate-like structures. This damage index is based on the difference between modified modal displacements in the undamaged and damaged state of the structure. In order to assess the advantages and limitations of the proposed algorithm, we performed experimental modal analysis on a reinforced concrete (RC) plate under 10 different damage cases. The MSDI values were calculated through considering single and/or multiple damage locations, different levels of damage, and boundary conditions. The experimental results confirmed that the MSDI method can be used to detect the existence of damage, identify single and/or multiple damage locations, and estimate damage severity in the case of single discrete damage.

Pneumoconiosis, or occupational lung disease, is one of the world’s most prevalent work-related diseases. Silicosis, a type of pneumoconiosis, is caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust. Although silicosis can be fatal, it is completely preventable. Hundreds of thousands of workers globally are at risk of being exposed to RCS at the workplace from various activities in many industries. Currently, in Australia and internationally, there are a range of methods used for the respiratory surveillance of workers exposed to RCS. These methods include health and exposure questionnaires, spirometry, chest X-rays, and HRCT. However, these methods predominantly do not detect the disease until it has significantly progressed. For this reason, there is a growing body of research investigating early detection methods for silicosis, particularly biomarkers. This literature review summarises the research to date on early detection methods for silicosis and makes recommendations for future work in this area. Findings from this review conclude that there is a critical need for an early detection method for silicosis, however, further laboratory- and field-based research is required.

Nanopores have a unique advantage for detecting biomolecules in a label-free fashion, such as DNA that can be synthesized into specific structures to perform computations. This method has been considered for the detection of diseased molecules. Here, we propose a novel marker molecule detection method based on DNA logic gate by deciphering a variable DNA tetrahedron structure using a nanopore. We designed two types of probes containing a tetrahedron and a single-strand DNA tail which paired with different parts of the target molecule. In the presence of the target, the two probes formed a double tetrahedron structure. As translocation of the single and the double tetrahedron structures under bias voltage produced different blockage signals, the events could be assigned into four different operations, i.e., (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), according to the predefined structure by logic gate. The pattern signal produced by the AND operation is obviously different from the signal of the other three operations. This pattern recognition method has been differentiated from simple detection methods based on DNA self-assembly and nanopore technologies.
