2x UT33 – with a manual and also automatic range selection are ideal "reserve" tool for every workplace.
Majority of us already probably has its own favorite multimeter. However, sometimes it happens, that we need to measure two parameters at once (for example voltage and current) and with one device it´s usually not possible… Even though it´s obvious, that it would be ideal to have two multimeters, you didn´t buy it, because you simply don´t want or can´t invest a considerable amount into another tool (maybe even a "top level" one.
That´s why we have for you a tip how to solve this dilemma. It is the multimeter Uni-Trend UT33 and right in two versions:
Both tools feature an excellent price/ performance ratio. For the price of approx. 8-11 Euro they offer measurement of all common parameters, incl. AC (voltage, UT33A also current). UT33A also measures hFE of transistors, UT33C a temperature by a K probe. In many cases a higher resolution of UT33A (3999) can be very beneficial. Decent accuracy, solid construction and exchangeable measuring leads (not hard-wired to a device, as usually in this price-level) belong to another pluses of this series. Naturally, multimeters UT33 are also suitable as a "main" tool for beginning amateurs and students.
Further information will provide you the attached pictures and UT33A and UT33C user manuals.

Energy is transmitted in different ways and one of these ways is electricity. It can appear in many forms and through various phenomena such as lightening or electromagnetic induction, and can be used in transport, electrical appliances, and in the residential and industrial sector, to name but a few examples. Physical magnitudes are derived from electricity such as the electric field, current, and electric potential. The latter two are measured in amps and volts respectively.
In order to measure the previous magnitudes and many others, ingenious devices have been developed, called multimeters, which are the perfect example of the high integrity and versatility of the most modern measuring instruments. They are powerful devices, small in size, but large in their ability to detect and solve electrical failures, measure a large variety of parameters such as current, voltage, capacity, resistance, and they are also equipped with additional functions which allow them to measure temperature, continuity, frequency, carry out diode tests or perform as an oscilloscope. Many multimeters have a USB port and have wireless transfer capacity (Bluetooth), which means that the measurement results can be sent to a PC or computer for later analysis. In addition, many of them are designed in such a way that their screen is removable, so that they can operate in difficult to access areas. Read the rest of this entry »

When a tool becomes a legend, usually there must be a good reason for it. This is also the case of Voltcraft mark.
Voltcraft has become legendary as a mark almost "from day to day" when in th year 1982 introduced on the market the first digital multimeter Voltcraft 6010 affordable for wide range of customers (for 139 DM), when other common tools were sold for about 300 DM. Already in the first year over 100 000 pcs were sold. Naturally, only the price wouldn´t cause such attention, but it was remarkable, that this tool offered (at a given price) practically the same functionality as other significantly more expensive tools.
This philosophy of an excellent price/ performance ratio together with technical innovations maintains mark Voltcraft up to day and nowadays multimeters represent somewhat like a golden middle way between usual quality meters and top level professional types, as for the quality and also as for the price. Voltcraft often brings innovations, which can´t be found at other equipment or we only find them after some time …
Despite a very affordable price, we can find at Voltcraft tools some features of top-level equipment, for example:
● optically insulated interface for communication with PC, possibility to combine data from several meters in one window
● robust fuse with a disconnecting ability of 1000V/30kA
● lock against insertion of measuring leads into a device if a rear cover is not closed (at a battery exchange)
● low pass filter (LPF below 1kHz) for interference suppression at measuring of AC voltages
● possibility to measure at a decreased impedance (400 kOhm) to suppress interference
● possibility to measure by a clamp accessory (display shows A, mA)
● they´re available with a calibration certificate (at an extra price)
● majority of types has a max. reading of 5999 or up to 39999
● usually they´re CATIV/600V, CAT III/1000V class
● also available types with a resolution of 0,01 Ohm
● measuring of capacity with 10 pF or even 1 pF resolution
● usage of OLED display (VC890)
In our offer can be found a few types attached below this article. A comprehensive comparison of basic features illustrates attached picture and detailed information ca be found in datasheets at particular types.

Voltset connects to smart devices and turns them into smart multimeters, allowing you to tinker, learn and collaborate with electronics.
Voltset is a module that plugs into a smartphone via a USB connection. It will then turn a smartphone into a smart multimeter. The multimeter is a must have tool for every DIY, tinkerer or hardware hacker. This project was started two years ago by two makers, Michael and Tom. They could not find a multimeter that was convenient to carry, yet powerful and versatile enough to be useful in their wide range of projects. So they set out to build their own. Almost two years later, they are ready to introduce Voltset to the world of makers.

Wildcats dominated by Sun Devils in Tempe
Depth has plagued Arizona women's basketball all season, as it will only be suiting up seven players from here on out.
That again was the Wildcats' Kryptonite, as they could not overcome ASU's plethora of points off the bench, blowing a 10-point first-half lead in their 60-36 loss to the Sun Devils.
ASU used that depth to wear down the Wildcats (4-18, 0-11 Pac-12 Conference), who only scored 10 points in the second half, after they were tied with their rivals 26-26 at the half.
"Playing 11 to 12 players definitely helps," Arizona head coach Niya Butts said in her postgame radio interview. "[ASU] had fresh players, compared ours not being fresh."
Mario Mendez / The State Press ASU senior guard Deja Mann guards UA senior Kama Griffitts during the Sun Devils 60-36 win over the Wildcats in Tempe, Ariz. on Tuesday. ASU outscored UA 34-10 in the second period after being tied at half time.
ASU's bench outscored the Wildcats 36 to eight.
The Sun Devils (20-3, 9-2) have won 15 games in a row at home against the Wildcats.
When one of ASU's best players, Promise Amukamara, went out of the game with 10:29 before intermission with two fouls, it looked as if Arizona might pull off the upset.
The Wildcats controlled the game early, leading 18-8 with 9:15 remaining.
"We were being active early," Butts said of her squad that shot five of 12 in the first 12 minutes. "We did a good job of finishing off our shots and playing well together."
Arizona made its presence known early on the boards as it held a 19-16 advantage in the first half, allowing the squad to get out in transition for points.
But the Sun Devils picked up their defensive intensity and outscored Arizona 18 to eight, tied at 26 heading into halftime.
Arizona would finish the game with 28 rebounds compared to ASU's 37. ASU's dominance on the boards allowed it to finish the game with 15 second-chance points. Arizona finished with two.
ASU opened the second half on an 18–4 run before Arizona senior forward Erica Barnes, who scored eight points and brought in five rebounds, made a layup with 12:01 remaining to make it 46-32.
"We started the second half and didn't play well on the defensive end," Butts said. "We talked about it at halftime and we talked about it in the huddle. We just seemed to fall apart in the second half."
Arizona's measly three assists were a big reason why it fell apart in the second half.
Turnovers in the second half also hurt the Wildcats mightily, as they finished the game with 20. ASU capitalized with 21 points off of turnovers.
ASU scored the next 14 points before UA freshman forward Breanna Workman, who finished with four points and six rebounds, made a free throw with 17 seconds remaining.
Katie Hempen was the only Sun Devil to finish in double figures with 11. Joy Burke and Elisha Davis were the other ASU leading scorers, each chipping in eight points.
Senior guard Kama Griffitts was the lone Wildcat in double figures with 10 points.
Arizona will get a shot at redemption quickly and attempt to break its six-game losing streak to ASU, as it hosts the Sun Devils this Sunday at 1 p.m.

[0002]The systems and techniques described herein relate generally to wiring system monitoring and diagnostics. More specifically, they relate to partial discharge monitoring for detecting faults, such as chafing, in wiring harnesses.
[0003]A wiring harness is a group of wires that are bundled together in order to simplify their handling and routing. Although bundling wires together into a group makes the process of handling them collectively easier, it also makes inspection and repair of individual wires within the bundle more difficult. In addition, because the wires are bundles together, the wires in a harness are subject to rubbing and chafing during vibration or other physical loading, which can lead to degradation in the wire, and ultimately a loss of performance. The problem is especially significant in high-vibration environments, such as helicopters.
[0004]Monitoring the wires within a bundled harness is desirable to detect faults as they develop, and before they become severe enough that the signal being carried by a wire is lost entirely. Various techniques have been used, including visual inspection, impedance testing, and reflectometry. However, each of these has limitations. For instance, in many circumstances, such as within an aircraft, much of the wiring is not available for visual inspection without significantly dismantling the harnesses. Impedance testing requires connecting and disconnecting wires in order to attach them to the testing system. Reflectometry, which involves sending a pulse down a wire and then studying the peaks and waves of its reflection as it returns, is an effective technique, but is generally less able to detect developing problems while their magnitude is still small. In effect, chafing and fraying is not effectively detected by such techniques.
[0005]Because of these and other limitations of existing monitoring technologies, there is a continuing need for improved systems for detecting and localizing wiring defects, such as chafing.
[0006]In accordance with one aspect of the techniques described herein, a method for passively monitoring a wire for defects is presented. The method includes attaching a first sensor to a wire at a first location and attaching a second sensor to the wire at a second location. When a pulse is detected in at least one of the sensors, a segment of data is captured from each sensor, such that a first segment of data is captured from the first sensor, and a second segment of data is captured from the second sensor. A time stamp corresponding to the pulse and the captured data is also captured. A set of signal features associated with the pulse is calculated from the first segment of data, the second segment of data and the time stamp. A defect decision is determined that indicates whether or not the detected pulse represents a defect in the monitored wire using the signal features associated with the pulse. The defect decision associated with the pulse and the time stamp is stored in a storage database.
[0007]In accordance with another aspect of the systems described herein, a passive wire defect detection system includes a pair of sensors, a data acquisition device, and a diagnostics engine. Each of the pair of sensors is attached to a wire to be monitored, each sensor at a different location along the length of the wire. The data acquisition device is configured to receive signals from each of the pair of sensors and to record a segment of data from each sensor in response to detecting a pulse in the signal from one of the sensors. The diagnostics engine is configured to receive the segments of data from the data acquisition device and to output a defect decision indicating whether the pulse corresponds to a defect in the wire.
[0008]These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood when the following detailed description is read with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like characters represent like parts throughout the drawings, wherein:
[0009]FIG. 1 shows an exemplary wire and sensor, such as might be used in one embodiment of an aircraft wiring system, in partial cross-section;
[0010]FIG. 2 illustrates embodiments of sensors in use with bundles of wires;
[0011]FIG. 3 schematically illustrates one embodiment of an exemplary system for monitoring wires for defects;
[0012]FIG. 4 illustrates one embodiment of data flow through the diagnostics engine;
[0013]FIG. 5 illustrates one embodiment of data flow through the analysis model; and
[0014]FIG. 6 illustrates one embodiment of the operation of the decision model.
[0015]As discussed above, there is currently no system available that can detect and locate wire chafing without disconnecting the wires or passing a high voltage signal through them. The methods and systems described herein are useful for passively monitoring wires within a harness and detecting evolving faults, such as chafing, in individual wires. Because the system monitors the wires passively, the active pulsing of individual wires can be avoided. This means that monitoring can be performed on a continuous basis, and without interfering with the operation of the systems that the wires are connected to. In addition, the techniques can also be used to localize the position of a fault along the length of a wire, allowing for more targeted repair and maintenance.
[0016]FIG. 1 illustrates a single exemplary wire. The wire 100 has a conductive core 110, and is surrounded by a layer of insulation 120. The entire wire is wrapped in a sheath 130. The wire conductive core 110 carried electrical signals, and the insulation 120 and sheath 130 protect the wire from mechanical damage, and prevent it from coming into direct contact with other electrically conductive materials, such as other wires, that would interfere with the operation of the wire. Individual wires 100 may be grouped into bundles of wires for easier handling. This will be discussed in greater detail below.
[0017]As shown in FIG. 1, wire 100 can have a sensor 150 attached to it, for monitoring the signals that flow through the wire. In one embodiment, the sensor, also referred to as a current probe, is a lightweight, flexible sensor that can monitor the current within the wire 100. The sensor is made of a flexible substrate, upon which are disposed one or more conductive leads 170. The surface of the probe 150 is covered with a cap 175, to prevent the leads from contacting adjacent conductive surfaces.
[0018]When wrapped around the wire 100, the leads 170 of the sensor 150 form a toroidal coil that surrounds the wire 100. Once attached to the wire, this arrangement allows the sensor 150 to respond to the current flowing in the conductive core 110 of the wire. In essence, the leads 170 and the core 110 from a current transformer that induces current within the leads in response to discharges due to wire defects. This induced current in the sensor can be measured by a burden resistor (not shown) attached remotely to the leads 170.
[0019]In addition to the system as illustrated in FIG. 1 for a single wire 100 using a single sensor 150, it is also possible to use such a current probe to monitor an entire bundle of wires at once, as shown in FIG. 2. Generally, when multiple wires 100 are bundled together for easier handling, they are arranged so that each wire 100 within the bundle 200 runs roughly parallel to one another. Because the wires within a single bundle are generally routed between the same locations, it is common to provide a collective connector 210 at each end of the bundle of wires to make it easier to connect and disconnect the wires from the rest of the system.
[0020]When monitoring bundles 200 of wires 100, it is possible to use a separate sensor 150 around each wire within the bundle. This provides for individualized information about the current flowing within each wire of the bundle. However, it is also possible that a single sensor 150 can be wrapped around the outside of an entire bundle of wires, as shown in FIG. 2. While such an arrangement allows for a single probe 150 to monitor multiple wires 100, it does not allow for directly distinguishing between signals of separate wires 100 within the bundle 200.
[0021]In addition to flexible wrappings, sensors can be embedded into the connectors 210 at the end of wires, whether bundled or not. For instance, a sensor may be embedded into connector 210 for each wire 100 terminating in that connector. Alternatively, a single sensor for the entire bundle 200 of wires 100 may be embedded into connector 210.
[0022]In yet another arrangement, an inline embedded sensor 250 can be created by providing a pair of connectors back to back, with the sensors for each wire embedded within the body of the connectors. Such an inline sensor can be used to join two bundles of wires and provide monitoring of the wires within the bundles. Additional details and variations concerning sensors can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 6,930,610 entitled "MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRING SYSTEMS", issued 16 Aug. 2005, incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
[0023]The current in the wire 100 can vary for a variety of reasons, for instance, deterioration of the insulation 120 surrounding the core 110 can lead to partial discharges of current that are reflected by currents induced in the sensor 150. therefore, the wrap-around sensor 150 allows for the passive monitoring of the current in the wire without requiring any physical contact with the center conductor in the wire. A partial discharge ("PD") refers to an abrupt change in current in the wire 100 that can be generated during the breakdown of insulation or when current arcs between the wire and another component.
[0024]The systems described below operate by examining the information from a pair of sensors at different locations along the length of a monitored wire or wire bundle. For instance, the system may analyze the data associated with two sensors disposed along the length of the same wire. If bundles of wires are monitored collectively (i.e., one sensor is used for the entire bundle), then the pair of sensors are desirably both monitoring the same collection of individual wires.
[0025]The system may monitor and receive data from many more than two sensors. However, for the analysis described herein, the data is always examined on the basis of pairs of sensors disposed upon the same wire or the same bundle of wires.
[0026]An exemplary system for performing monitoring is shown in FIG. 3. The monitoring system 300 has a number of sensors that produce real-time data regarding the current in the wires which they monitor. In the Figure, such sensors include a series of individual flexible sensors 150 disposed upon each wire 100 within a bundle 200 at one location. An inline sensor 250 disposed along the length of the wire bundle 200 that monitors the wires individually is used as the other sensor for this pair of sensors.
[0027]As noted above, a variety of sensor types (inline, embedded, individually wrapped, etc.) may be disposed along the length of a single wire, as well as sensors being disposed along different wires or wire bundles that are in use. However, the data that is analyzed will always be handled on the basis of pairs of sensors on the same wire or bundle of wires. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the data associated with both sensor locations for each wire 100 in the bundle 200 form a suitable pair for analysis.
[0028]Each sensor is associated with a specific wire 100 or bundle 200, and more generally, with the signal or signals that are carried by the monitored wire. In addition, each sensor is associated with a location along the length of the wire or bundle, as measured from some reference point.
[0029]The output of the sensors is sent to a high-speed data acquisition device (DAQ) 310 for recording. The DAQ 310 notes the signals coming in from each sensor, and monitors the signals for each monitored wire at each location over time. The DAQ may also perform an analog to digital conversion of the data. This signal data is sent to the diagnostics engine 320 for processing and analysis. The engine 320 analyzes the data for each sensor and location to detect and localize faults within the monitored wiring. The diagnostic engine uses diagnostic algorithms and decision models in order to determine whether or not the received data indicates the presence of one or more defects in the monitored wires 100. Such defects, when identified, and their associated data, may be stored in a database 330 or other storage system and used by a reporting system 340 to provide information to a user, such as a pilot or maintenance personnel.
[0030]The DAQ 310 is configured to monitor the data coming in for each sensor, and to respond to certain conditions by saving a group of data and forwarding it on to the diagnostics engine 320 when the triggering conditions are met. For instance, the trigger conditions may be chosen so that whenever a particular rate of change is observed in a signal, that the signal is selected for capture. Alternatively, the trigger can be related to the absolute voltage level being above (or below) a specific threshold. In addition to such triggering conditions, the DAQ can also be configured to sample the incoming signals at a particular frequency. The combination of operating and triggering conditions for the DAQ is referred to below as the "DAQ parameters". In general, the DAQ parameters are chosen to cause the DAQ to capture and forward data when a pulse is detected in the monitored wire. Such pulses may be caused by, for example, a spark being created by the wire, partial discharge event, or by noise on the wire.
[0031]When the DAQ detects a signal from one of its sensors that meet the triggering conditions, the DAQ will capture a number of sequential data readings for that sensor, as well as for any other sensors with which that sensor is paired. In general, this will be the other sensors that are configured to monitor the same wire or bundle of wires at other locations. These segments of data for the sensor producing the triggering signal, as well as the segments of data for any sensors associated with sensors paired with the triggering signal, are forwarded along with an appropriate time stamp to the diagnostics engine for analysis.
[0032]FIG. 4 illustrates the handling by the diagnostics engine 320 of a pair of segments of data for sensors when a triggering event has occurred. The signal data 400 for each sensor in the pair, as well as a time stamp 410 corresponding to the time for the captured signal data 400 is sent from the DAQ 310 to the diagnostics engine 320. In addition to the captured data, the diagnostics engine 320 also retrieves the DAQ parameters 420 that characterize the operating rules of the DAQ and the distance 430 between the locations of the pair of sensors 150 whose data is being analyzed. The DAQ parameters 420 and the distance 430 between the sensors may be stored in the DAQ and forwarded on to the diagnostics engine 320 as appropriate, or may be made available to the engine 320 via a lookup table or other storage that may be associated with the engine 320. Exemplary DAQ parameters may include the trigger level (for example, 100 millivolts) used for the DAQ, and the sampling frequency at which the DAQ is recording data from each sensor.
[0033]The diagnostics engine 320 includes two modules that are used to evaluate the incoming data: an analysis module 450 that is used to determine a set of signal features 460 associated with the incoming signal data 400; and a decision module that uses the signal features 460 and other information, such as the DAQ parameters and distance between the sensors, to make a decision as to the nature and location of any defect associated with the sensor signal data. This defect decision 480 can include whether or not the signal detected represents a defect in the monitored wiring, the location of such a defect, and a measure of the confidence associated with the decision.
[0034]FIG. 5 illustrates the various models employed by the analysis module 450 to generate the desired signal features 460. These models include a curve fitting model 500, a noise model 510, a fast-Fourier transform (FFT) model 520, and a statistical model 530. Each of these models comprises a set of executable code that is used to analyze the incoming data, e.g. the signal data 400, and execution of the model in the diagnostic engine 320 produces one or more of the signal features 460 that the analysis module 450 determines for the signal. Each model, and its output signals, will be discussed in greater detail below.
[0035]The curve fitting model 500 is used to perform Weibull analysis on the incoming signal data. This analysis generates a pair of maximum likelihood estimates of scale and shape parameters that can be used to characterize a Weibull distribution for the signal data 400. The shape and scale parameters are those parameters that, when used with Equation 1, below, produce a model that fits the signal data received. Such techniques are known in the art as a way of approximating a probability distribution function that corresponds to the data received.
y=abxb-1e-axI.sub.(0,∞)(x) (Equation 1)
[0036]The scale parameter is "a" in Equation 1, while the shape parameter is "b". This analysis to determine the parameters for data for each of the pair of signals is performed, generating a shape and scale parameter for each signal in the pair. Each of these four parameters is output as part of the features 460 of the analyzed signal data 400.
[0037]The noise model 510 is used to generate data that can be used by the decision module 470 to differentiate between data signals representing faults in the wire and simply noise in the signal. An amplitude spectrum estimate is calculated for the signal data 400, and then the DC amplitude of the signal is subtracted from the signal data. The main frequency and its amplitude are then calculated for the non-DC signal as is known in the art. Techniques such as using the amplitude spectrum of the autocorrelation function can be used to improve the frequency estimate of the signal data. The main frequency and its amplitude are output as features 460 of the analyzed signal data 400.
[0038]The FFT model 520 is used to perform a discrete Fourier transform on the signal data 400 to determine the component frequencies of the signal. The Fourier transform may be calculated using the signal data and the sampling frequency (one of the DAQ parameters 420) and feeding them to a Fast-Fourier Transform algorithm, as is known in the art. The ten most significant component frequencies are output as features of the signal.
[0039]The statistical model 530 is a group of statistical routines that extract common descriptive statistics associated with the data signal 400. Such parameters are known in the art and can include the minimum value of the signal, the maximum value of the signal, the mean, harmonic mean, geometric mean, root mean square value of the signal, the crest factor, the absolute deviation, the standard deviation, the skew, the kurtosis, the regression r-square value, and the time of the maximum value of the signal. Each of these calculated results is output as part of the signal features 460.
[0040]Through the application of each of the above models to the signal data 400, time stamp 410 and DAQ parameters 420, the signal features 460 are produced. The signal features, as described above, are a set of parameters that collectively describe the signal without the need for reproducing the entirety of the signal. The signal features may will be used in the decision module 470 as described below, and may also be stored directly in the storage database 330. In addition to the models applied above, the analysis module may also optionally perform compression of the signal, for example by using a discrete cosine transform, to store the signal data itself for storage along with the signal features.
[0041]Once the analysis module 450 has calculated the signal feature 460, the features are passed to the decision module 470 for determination of the final defect decision 480. As shown in FIG. 6, the defect decision is determined using the signal features 460, the DAQ parameters 420, and the known distance 430 between the pair of sensors 150 that generated the signal data 400. The elements that make up the defect decision 480 are: a flag indicating whether the signal represents a discharge (indicating a defect in the wire) or noise on the line; and a location of the detected discharge event and defect, if the signal is not determined to be noise.
[0042]FIG. 6 illustrates schematically the process performed upon the data passed to the decision module 470. As shown in step 600, the noise frequency determined by the noise model 510 is compared to the four most significant component frequencies determined by the FFT model 520. If the noise frequency is not within 1% of one of the top four most significant component frequencies (step 605), then the signal is flagged as a noise signal (step 610), and output the defect decision 480 (step 615).
[0043]If the noise frequency is within 1% of one of the four most significant component frequencies (step 605), then a determination as to whether the signal can be qualified as a possible discharge for the signals from both sensors is made. This is based upon two values, the Weibull shape parameter ("b" in equation 1), and the ratio of the noise amplitude to the Weibull scale parameter (Noise amplitude Over Weibull Scale, or NOWS). If the Weibull shape is between a pair of predetermined limits or bounds (L1 and L2), and the NOWS is between a separate pair of predetermined bounds (L3 and L4), then the signal from that sensor is considered to represent a discharge. The bounds are determined experimentally during the setup of the system as described below. This analysis is performed separately for the data associated with each sensor.
[0044]In step 620, the noise amplitude to Weibull scale ratio is calculated for both sensors' signals. If the Weibull shape is between L1 and L2 for both signals, and the NOWS is between L3 and L4 for both signals (step 625), then the signal is provisionally considered to represent a discharge event. And a location for the discharge is calculated (step 630) as described below. If both signals do not have values within the predetermined bounds, then the signal is characterized as noise (step 610).
[0045]In step 630, the estimated location is determined for the discharge event represented by the signal data 400. This estimation is based on the time of arrival of the peak signal at each of the sensors 150 and the known distance between them. By assuming that the disturbance in the signal produced by the discharge event propagates at a constant velocity in both directions along the monitored wire until it is detected at each sensor, a distance from the first sensor in the direction of the second sensor can be estimated. The formula used to estimate this distance is shown in Equation 2, where: d is the distance away from sensor 1 toward sensor 2 the defect is located; L is the distance between the sensors; v is the propagation velocity along the wire; t1 is the time of the signal maximum at sensor 1; and t2 is the time of the signal maximum at sensor 2.
d = L - v ( t 2 - t 1 ) 2 Equation 2 ##EQU00001##
[0046]If the calculated value of d is greater than or equal to zero (step 635), the signal is flagged as a discharge event in the defect decision 480, and the location of the event is added to the defect decision (step 640). If the calculated value of d is less than 0, then the signal is flagged as noise (step 610).
[0047]As discussed above, the bounds L1, L2, L3 and L4 are determined through an experimental process of running the system 300 in an environment where the presence of defects can be confirmed independently. During the experimental runs, the signal features are captured for all events. The bounding values for the NOWS and Weibull shape are then calculated to provide the appropriate balance between false positives and false negatives.
[0048]The various models discussed above may be calculated using a variety of techniques as are known in the art. In one embodiment, the models may be run using programmed routines on a general purpose computer. The routines may be programmed directly, or may make use of analysis packages, such as Matlab. In other embodiments, the appropriate analytic routines may be performed in firmware, or purpose built hardware. In varying embodiments, the models may be run on hardware located on the device whose wiring is being monitored, or on a separate diagnostic device which is capable of receiving the data from the DAQ 310. In this way, the diagnostics engine 320 can be implemented in a mixture of hardware and software as is appropriate to various applications.
[0049]In addition, it will be appreciated that the communication of the data between the DAQ 310 and the diagnostics engine 320, as well as within the diagnostics engine's modules 450, 470, can be carried out in a variety of ways. For example, data could be captured by the DAQ 310 and then sent wirelessly to the diagnostics engine 320. The diagnostics engine 320 could then send its results to a storage database 330 that is physically connected to the diagnostics engine's hardware. Reporting (discussed below) could be done wirelessly to displays located remotely from the diagnostics engine 320 itself.
[0050]Referring back to FIGS. 3 and 4, the defect decision 480, along with an associated signal features 460, or a copy of the signal data 400 itself, can be sent to a storage database 330. The storage database provides a location from which information can be retrieved at a later point in time to further examine the status of the monitored wiring. One way of using the stored data is through a reporting system 340 that can provide summary reports of which wires are experiencing the most discharge events, and are therefore experiencing the most chafing and wear. Such reporting may be done during scheduled maintenance in order to see which portions of the wiring are most in need of replacement.
[0051]In addition to using the reporting system to provide descriptive reports during scheduled maintenance, the reporting system may also be used to monitor the defect decisions that are added to the database in real-time in order to detect patterns that indicate the presence of defects or wear that may require urgent attention. By keeping track of the locations and frequency of defects found in each monitored wire, the reporting system can be used to alert personnel such as pilots or mechanics to areas that require urgent attention.
[0052]Experimental testing of the systems and techniques described herein have borne out that such passive monitoring systems can be used to monitor defects in wires carrying signals at varying voltages. Tested voltages included 115 volt alternating current at 400 Hz, 28 volt direct current, 5 volt direct current, and 1 volt direct current. Such capabilities, especially for use with low voltage systems, are made more effective by the passive nature of the monitoring. Using the systems and techniques described, wires can be monitored without the need for periodic disconnecting and without the need to send high voltage testing signals down the wires to be tested. Both of these activities can lead to additional wear of the insulation within the wires, especially when the wires themselves are lightweight.
[0053]In addition to making use of passive monitoring, the systems and techniques described are suitable for on-board use in real-time, unlike monitoring systems that require disconnection of wires, or the application of external loads to wiring harnesses. By using such lightweight, relatively inexpensive sensors, the entire monitoring system can be carried on board a vehicle or other system that requires monitoring, without significantly compromising the purpose of the vehicle.
[0054]In addition to being able to operate in real-time, being always connected allows for the monitoring system to be able to detect and locate faults before other safety systems, such as arc fault circuit breakers, can react. By detecting such emerging defects and faults prior to failure, overall equipment life can be preserved, and the reliability and readiness of the system can be improved. In testing, chafes as small as 511 micrometers produced signals that were detected and categorized as defects by the system.
[0055]The various embodiments of monitoring techniques described above thus provide a way to provide real-time detection of emerging faults in wires and wire harnesses. These techniques and systems also allow for on-board detection systems suitable for use in mobile platforms, such as helicopters or aircraft.
[0056]Of course, it is to be understood that not necessarily all such objects or advantages described above may be achieved in accordance with any particular embodiment. Thus, for example, those skilled in the art will recognize that the systems and techniques described herein may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other objects or advantages as may be taught or suggested herein.
[0057]Furthermore, the skilled artisan will recognize the interchangeability of various features from different embodiments. For example, the real-time reporting described with respect to one embodiment can be adapted for use with the storage of defect data for later use during scheduled maintenance. Similarly, the various features described, as well as other known equivalents for each feature, can be mixed and matched by one of ordinary skill in this art to construct additional systems and techniques in accordance with principles of this disclosure.
[0058]Although the systems herein have been disclosed in the context of certain preferred embodiments and examples, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the invention extends beyond the specifically disclosed embodiments to other alternative embodiments and/or uses of the systems and techniques herein and obvious modifications and equivalents thereof. Thus, it is intended that the scope of the invention disclosed should not be limited by the particular disclosed embodiments described above, but should be determined only by a fair reading of the claims that follow.

Nothing this week. Kind of hoping for a Smash Bros eShop sale here in the US, but we'll see what happens.

Well, if I did go digital, I have no problem removing some music from my SD card. But all the same, I will likely go with a physical release (already got one on hold at a local game store).
I've already got mine on reserve. Planning on using my next paycheck to pay it off.
@Nik-Davies Thank you for sharing this.
Playful and thoughtful. I really enjoyed this.
Not a problem for me.
Thanks for the video!
The YouTube Channel "Extra Credits" did a few videos on the concept of Gamification, in that you're making the pursuit of health and education like one big video game (which basically sounds like what Nintendo is aiming for with the QOL platform). Here is one video which I would recommend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuDLw1zIc94. Overall, I am interested in the QOL platform. Brain Age was my first DS game and I still do Wii Fit Plus. I'm curious to see what else Nintendo will do with this concept of gamification.
Eight dollars for Trine 2 on the Wii U? Not bad. Two dollars during one of the many Steam sales? Even better.
Reminds me of the Luigi's Mansion stage from Brawl. All the same, it looks good. Really looking forward to October 3rd.
@unrandomsam Good call. Maybe Wario's an unlockable? I remember the Smash Bros. Dojo website was still revealing characters for Brawl even after it was released (came out March 9th, 2008. Last character reveal was March 31st).
Now if we're banking on game assets as clues for the roster, here is my hope for the Ice Climbers:
I'm probably in the minority here but (as much as I'd love the Ice Climbers to return) I'd be fine if we were looking at the final additions to the roster. This new Smash Bros looks to have a TON of content, comparable to Brawl, so I wouldn't complain if Sakurai had no one else left. Not saying I'm not open to hidden characters or more surprise reveals though...
I have to wonder: Which characters revealed for Smash Bros 4 are default characters? How many of them are unlockables (like how Solid Snake and Sonic were in Brawl, despite the former being revealed on day one)?
I think this is the first year I'm bummed for not hitting Platinum (last time I got it was when they gave out Doc Louis Punch-Out. Got Gold every year since then) because Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D has been on my wishlist for a while. Oh well, I'm getting either Wario Land 2 or Donkey Kong 3 as I have the other prizes in one form or another.
I don't know how I feel about digital-only prizes. Usually I would send my physical prize to my nephew as an early birthday present (a Nintendo calendar or something), so it feels strange getting something this year (my nephew has all but abandoned his 3DS for his Android tablet with Minecraft, otherwise I'd send him a code for Super Mario Land 2).
I see Metaknight's ship in the back of a stage...
I hope it's [insert character relative to the person's rampant idiosyncratic fanboyism], but I digress, the game will still be worth buying no matter who it is
Edit: What about the Elite Beat Agents?
I got this for PSN, so WiiWare is unlikely (especially since my Wii is dying).
@uhhhhhhhh Because the WiiWare version was announced first, way back in 2010.
If they could make it work, I'd be down for a 3DS version (even if they had to revert to an earlier build).
I downloaded the demo from the eShop.
In a parent's mind, a fifty dollar tablet from Wal-Mart on Black Friday seems more attractive than a one-hundred dollar 2DS system. My nieces and nephew each got one last Christmas (ages 2, 4, and 10 respectively), mainly as an educational device for the girls and a gaming (ie: Minecraft) device for the boy. Whenever I visited though, one of my nieces ogled over my 3DS XL, loving the drawing feature in the 3DS camera app (so we'll see).
My friend and I killed a lot of summer hours playing Mario Kart 64, GoldenEye, Bomberman 64, and Super Smash Bros. Great times.
MAYBE Rayman Origins on 3DS. Thing is I've already played it to death on the Wii and I also have a digital copy on the PS3 that I've barely touched (got it for $10 in a sale). Also, the 3DS version forgoes multiplayer, something that made the console versions great. Origins is a great game, but I'm not sure if I'll get it.
My girlfriend bought this for me a few months ago. I miss the "Book Mode" the older games had (turning the DS on its side)...and the Sudoku, but it's still a great overall update to the formula. Devilish Training is frustratingly hard at times, but breaking through that mental plateau is an amazing feeling.
I fall in that category where Brain Age was the reason I bought a DS Lite back in the day (that, and the portable system of choice in college was the DS). It did stagnate about a month or so after unlocking everything (at which point, I moved on to other Touch Generations titles), but it was still a great title. Earning "Rocket Speed" on Calculations x20 gives one an immense feeling of self-satisfaction.
The online Nintendo Store (in North America, leastways) is selling preowned 32GB models for $200 (comes with a copy of Nintendo Land). You don't get Club Nintendo coins, but still...$200 for a Wii U and a decent game (covered by a one year warranty, no less)!
Link: https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?_DARGS=/ng3/global/gadgets/productListRangeRow.jsp.addToCartFormId
I'd heard about the "My Routine" debacle. This should be a good fix for those who use the program (I'm still using Wii Fit Plus).
"...could this be a case of unnecessary duplication?"
Not for Ubi-Soft, who just picked up the franchise rights. Hudson developed Tetris Axis while Nintendo published it.
Pac-Man confirmed as a playable character.
Only if Urkel is doing the voice.
EDIT: She wasn't an assist trophy in Brawl. Palutena appeared in Pit's final smash attack.
My birthday is in late October, so this kind of works out for me.
First word that came to my mind: Gorgeous.
One way or another, Ice Climbers are in (even if they have to be Mii characters).
@mike_intv I found this story in the side section as opposed to the main section. All the same, this is cool news.
Good sign. Here's to hoping for a Wii Sports Club and system bundle.
I don't suppose having the DSiWare version of Cave Story counts...
So there's hope for future DDR games?
If "Helix" for WiiWare and Wii Fit U had an ugly baby...
I've been hit by more Green Shells than anything else whenever I play an Online Match (pesky ricochet).
I would go over to a friend's house and we'd play 2p Mario Kart Wii Online. We'd play Co-Op, helping out whoever's file it was. Lots of swearing (Rainbow Road will do that), but also lots of fun.
Mario Kart Wii worked perfectly for me tonight. Smash Bros is stuck on the "Seeking Opponent" screen (my Ice Climbers are ready).
I've played "Sonic Robo Blast 2" on the Sega Dreamcast a few years back. It's a 3D platformer based on the Doom Engine and it actually wasn't all that bad. It wasn't as good as, say, Sonic Adventure, but for what it was (a free 3D Sonic game), it held up really well against other 3D Sonic games.
PS: Did I mention it's free? https://www.srb2.org/download/
Games are getting more expensive. Mario Party 2, an N64 game, costed 150 coins when it was made available as a prize (February 2012. I know, I grabbed it). Fast forward to today, two years and some change later, Mario Kart 64 costs 250. I know there's the argument that they've added Wii U support for some games (NES, SNES), supporting an "added value" argument, but that doesn't cover N64 games, ergo not justifying an increase in price.
I know Nintendo is a business, ergo they are at liberty to charge what they feel is a reasonable price (supply and demand, et cetera), but I couldn't help but notice this upward trend...
For those interested, here's a more comprehensive (albeit incomplete) history of the program, pricing included:
The internet on my 3DS and Wii is being wonky, so I think I'll sit this one out. Still fun to watch though.

Heck is one of nine individuals elected to the U.S. House in 2012 who have prior congressional experience, and one of five House Democrats ousted in 2010 to reclaim a seat two years later.[2][3]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Titus is an average Democratic member of Congress, meaning she will vote with the Democratic Party on the majority of bills.
Titus grew up in Tifton, Georgia. After receiving her Bachelor of Arts from the College of William and Mary, Titus went on to earn a Master of Arts from the University of Georgia and a Doctorate from Florida State University. She then taught American and Nevada government classes at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for 34 years until her retirement in 2011. She was also a state senator representing SD-7 for 20 years until her election to the U.S. House of Representatives from Nevada's 3rd congressional district in 2008, a seat she lost two years later in a close race against Rep. Joe Heck.[4]
Committee assignments
U.S. House
Titus serves on the following committees:[5]
- Committee on Veterans' Affairs
- Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs Chair
- Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity
- Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
- Subcommittee on Aviation - 10
- Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management
- Subcommittee on Highways and Transit
- Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials
Voting record
Frequency of Voting with Democratic Leadership
According to a July 2010 analysis of 1,357 votes cast from January 1, 2009 to June 16, 2010, Titus has voted with the House Democratic leadership 96.6% of the time.[6] That same analysis reported that she also voted with party leadership 97.7% of the time in 2010.
Washington Post Analysis
A separate analysis from The Washington Post, concluded that she votes 97.1% of the time with a majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives.[7]
Legislative actions
113th Congress
The 113th Congress has had 55 out of 5,401 introduced bills enacted into law (1 percent) as of November 30, 2013. Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 1.14 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the first session.[8] For more information pertaining to Titus's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[9]
National security
National Defense Authorization Act
Titus supported HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[10]
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Titus voted in opposition of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[10]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Titus voted in favor of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[10]
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
Titus supported HR 624 - the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[11] The bill was largely supported by Republicans but divided the Democratic Party.[10]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Titus voted against the July 11, 2013 Farm Bill. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[12] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[13]
King Amendment
Titus signed a letter sent to Collin Peterson in August 2013, asking him to keep Steve King's amendment out of the final Farm Bill.[14] The "Protect Interstate Commerce Act" amendment prevents states from applying their own laws on agricultural products to agricultural products from another state.[15]. King introduced the amendment in response to a law in California, requiring a larger size cage for egg-producing chickens. King represents Iowa, which is a large egg producer.
Immigration Executive Order
Titus opposed an amendment that would prohibit funding for the "Morton Memos", which relax enforcement of immigration laws.[16]
Titus opposed repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Care-Related Provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.[16]
Social issues
Titus opposed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which prohibits abortions after 20 weeks.[16]
Titus ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Nevada's 1st District. With incumbent Democrat Rep. Shelley Berkley seeking election to the U.S. Senate, Titus faced no challengers in the June 12, 2012 Democratic primary. Ruben Kihuen had declared his candidacy for the seat, but withdrew in January when he was outpaced in fundraising and early polls.[17]

I'm usually a size 38, so I printed out a medium, but that was obviously going to be too big so I made up a small, which fits perfectly. The full range is XS-S-M-L.
I think this alphabet lace works nicely with this pattern.

FLV shadowbox - passing more flashvars
12 September 2009 at 12:27am
I have an urgent need to pass more flashvars to the player in the shadowbox, (It could be a Description or Tags flashvar based on JW PLayer structure as I don't use them for now. Basically I need to pass the ID of the Page where attachment resides) I tried adding 'description' => "TestText" array element in VideoPopup function of the FLV.php, however it doesn't seem to work, and I'm not getting it in the player.
Any ideas on how I can implement that ?
Thanks .

Re: FLV shadowbox - passing more flashvars
12 September 2009 at 2:00am
Yeah, that's an interesting request. Would it be for just one movie or for all movies? The problem with the FLV features right now is that all the configuration, with the exception of thumbnail width and height, are global settings. The easiest thing for me to do would be to add a static variable "extra_flash_params" to the FLV class and have it add whatever you put in there to the swfobject call.
But that would affect every video, unfortunately.

Thank for reply, we've managed to achieve what we needed in a way of tweaking and patching the js files and the JW Player AS codes... Looks bit Scary and crapy, but works
However It might be a handy feature for the next releases . ;)
