  2. Fault indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_indicator

    In electric power distribution networks, a fault indicator is a device which provides visual or remote indication of a fault on the electric power system. Also called a faulted circuit indicator (FCI), [1] the device is used in electric power distribution networks as a means of automatically detecting and identifying faults to reduce outage time.

  3. Time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

    The TDR analysis begins with the propagation of a step or impulse of energy into a system and the subsequent observation of the energy reflected by the system. By analyzing the magnitude, duration and shape of the reflected waveform, the nature of the impedance variation in the transmission system can be determined.

  4. Fault detection and isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation

    Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...

  5. Quantum error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

    In 2022, researchers at the University of Innsbruck have demonstrated a fault-tolerant universal set of gates on two logical qubits in a trapped-ion quantum computer. They have performed a logical two-qubit controlled-NOT gate between two instances of the seven-qubit colour code, and fault-tolerantly prepared a logical magic state .

    Pontryagin's minimum principle A mathematical principle used in the theory of optimal control. port Any place at which energy can be observed to enter or leave a system. positive feedback Feedback from the output of a system that tends to increase the effect of any input; if overdone, leads to instability. potential difference

  7. Protective relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

    A variant application of the attraction principle is the plunger-type or solenoid operator. A reed relay is another example of the attraction principle. "Moving coil" meters use a loop of wire turns in a stationary magnet, similar to a galvanometer but with a contact lever instead of a pointer. These can be made with very high sensitivity.

  8. Fault tree analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tree_analysis

    A fault tree diagram. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is examined. This analysis method is mainly used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk and to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level ...

  9. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    Hall effect magnetometers (also called tesla meters or gauss meters) use a Hall probe [23] with a Hall element to measure magnetic fields or inspect materials (such as tubing or pipelines) using the principles of magnetic flux leakage. A Hall probe is a device that uses a calibrated Hall effect sensor to directly measure the strength of a ...
