This article presents a new method for determining the effective capacity of a lead-acid battery by applying the least squares theory. Power supply of an isolated power grid can be achieved with a mix of sources, among which the most affordable are solar energy, wind power and fossil fuels. In these cases, the final price of the electricity obtaine...

The DSWIG scheme proposed in this paper uses an inverter with apparent power lower than the corresponding generator power. The expected ratio between the inverter power and the generator power is 50% in the case of DSWIG. This is similar to DFIG applications. The advantage of DSWIG is the lack of brushes. DSWIG can be used in variable speed applica...

Electronic properties of pulsed laser deposited, nanoscale CeNi5 alloy layers, on a dielectric substrate are described using the complex dielectric function. This spectral behavior is studied separately for the real part ε1 (the dielectric constant or dielectric permittivity) and imaginary part ε2 (the dielectric loss function) of t...

Gas pumping units (GPU) GTK - 25i produced at Nuovo-Pignon company (Italy) have been in operation for more than 40 years and most of them have fulfilled the established service life or are close to it, and therefore their further operation can lead to emergency situations. Considering that on the Urengoy- Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline today more tha...

When preparing raw materials for the manufacture of ceramic products (clay), a significant amount of metallic impurities falls into it. With further technological operations, such raw materials are a source of danger for equipment that can fail if metal inclusions get into it, or the process line. In this regard, an urgent task is the development o...

Science is developing rapidly and it is so fast that society can’t follow. The negative consequences of such a rapid development start to appear. First, developed countries can easily apply scientific achievements to improve the lives of their citizens, while developing countries live harder than 20 or 30 years ago. Second, pseudo-science app...

Some considerations regarding different earthing electrodes types and arrangements are discussed. The computation of the earthing resistance and voltage distribution, the designing, installation and testing procedures are evaluated and compared. Typical mistakes, inadvertences, wrong or incomplete procedures are outlined, e.g. the soil resistivity ...

The present paper is meant to be a short presentation of the actual stage of nanomaterials used in dentistry. It shows some theoretical considerations regarding characteristics of some nanomaterials used in dentistry. In recent years, increasing demands for dental reconstruction have led to the development of new materials that have multiple applic...
