The article presents the analysis of the dead time measurement using two sources for a non-paralyzable detector. It determined the optimum division of count rate measurement time between both source measurement and a single source one. Results of the work can be used to optimize dead time measurement for systems which count photons or particles.

SummaryIn this article it will be proved that the commonly used formula for dead time corrections :[xxx] (Ν' is the true and Ν the measured count rate, r the dead time) is correct for a G.M.-counter tube and also for high count-rates. However τ seem to be a function of N.Three often used methods for measuring the dead time τ are discussed (the two samples method ; the method of a series of samples in which the relative intensities are very well known; the method of a shortlived radioisotope), and also for each of these three methods the best way to calculate the dead time from the experiments. The two samples method, combined with a very simple formula ofThe theory has been illustrated by a number of experiments according to the three different methods.

Sensorless control technology of PMSMs is of great importance for safety and reliability in electric vehicles. Among all existing methods, only the extended flux-based method has great performance over all speed range. However, the accuracy and reliability of the extended flux rotor position observer are greatly affected by the dead-time effect. In this paper, the extended flux-based observer is adopted to develop a sensorless control system. The influence of dead-time effect on the observer is analyzed and a dead-time correction method is specially designed to guarantee the reliability of the whole control system. A comparison of estimation precision among the extended flux-based method, the electromotive force (EMF)-based method and the high frequency signal injection method is given by simulations. The performance of the proposed sensorless control system is verified by experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed extended flux-based sensorless control system with dead-time correction has satisfactory performance over full speed range in both loaded and non-loaded situations. The estimation error of rotor speed is within 4% in all working conditions. The dead-time correction method improves the reliability of the control system effectively.

Dead-time is common to real time processes and occurs when the process variable doesn’t acknowledge to any changes in the set point. Existence of dead time in the systems poses a challenge to control and stabilize, especially in a control feedback loop. Padé approximation provides a determinate approximation of the dead time in the continuous process systems, which can be utilized in the further simulations of equivalent First Order plus Dead Time Models. However, the standard Padé approximation with the same numerator- denominator derivative power, exhibits a jolt at time t=0. This gives an inaccurate approximation of the dead time. To avoid this phenomenon, increasing orders of Padé approximation is applied. In the following manuscript, equivalent First Order plus Dead-Time models of two blending systems of orders four and seven are analysed for the same. As the orders of the Padé approximation increases, the accuracy of the response also increases. The oscillations are increased on a much smaller scale rather than having one big dip in the negative region (as observed in the first few orders of Padé approximation), and the approximation tries to synchronize with the desired response curve in the positive region. All the simulations are done in MATLAB.
