High power impedance tuners suffer from intense heating of the center conductor of the tuner airline (slabline), due to dissipated RF and DC power and, in addition to high electric field between the metallic tuning probe (slug) and the center conductor, also from associated thermal expansion causing sagging of the center conductor and possible electrical short. If the thermal expansion cannot be accommodated by structural means, the center conductor is cooled using forced air created by ventilators or re-circulating low loss dielectric liquid flowing through the slabline. Premature tuner aging through continuous airflow or cooling liquid circulation is avoided using real time monitoring of dissipated (heating) power and regulation of the cooling mechanism.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for monitoring and diagnosing power system assets. An example method may include triggering, by a gateway device and at a first time, a capture of a first waveform from a first intelligent electronic device (IED) associated with a first asset in a power system. The method may also include transmitting, by the gateway device, the capture of the waveform to a remote device. The method may also include extracting fault features from the first waveform corresponding to different failure modes associated with the asset of the power system. The method may also include determining, based on the features extracted from first waveform, that a fault of a first fault mode has occurred in the asset. The method may also include providing an alert that the fault has been identified, wherein the alert initiates or otherwise facilitates a control action in the power system.

A method detects and localizes a failure of a measurement acquisition channel in an acquisition system including two redundant acquisition channels for the measurement of a physical quantity in an environment. The method uses a processor with a memory storing a model including modeled values of the physical quantity based on measurements of other physical quantities in the environment. The method includes detecting a symptomatic error of a defective acquisition channel when a deviation between the measured values of the two channels reaches a detection threshold, waiting to let the acquisition system evolve for a certain period, and localizing the defective channel among the two channels, when the deviation of the values measured between the channels reaches a localization threshold different from the detection threshold. The localization is made from the comparison of the measured value of each of the channels with a modeled value of the physical quantity.

A screen data generating system (100) includes: a generation device (10) to generate screen data for displaying a monitoring screen (101) used for monitoring an operating state of a control device (30) that controls an apparatus (40); and a server (20) to acquire, from the control device (30), device identification information for identifying the control device (30) and unit configuration information about a unit included in the control device (30) to provide the acquired device identification information and the acquired unit configuration information. The generation device (10) includes a template storage to store multiple templates of the screen data, and generates, from a template including the unit configuration information provided by the server (20), the screen data relating to the control device indicated by the device identification information provided by the server (20).

Examples described herein relate to a system and method for managing the security of an edge enclosure. The edge enclosure is deployed in a mobile environment and travels between a base location and a task location to perform a task. The task is defined and configured at a chassis manager by a management device. A server in the edge enclosure processes data associated with the task. The chassis manager detects a loss of communication between the chassis manager and the management device. The chassis manager performs a security action based on task status. The task status is either ongoing or completed. The security action performed at the edge enclosure protects the data present in the server from tampering. The management device transmits alerts to the customers of the edge enclosure after the task is completed.

Examples disclosed herein are directed to a method and apparatus for determining a position of a ring within a process kit. In one example, a sensor assembly for a substrate processing chamber is provided.
