Progress depends on unbalance and disorder [PDF]
Walking is a state of unbalanced body-not to fall down, it takes away. Technology is another state of progress depending on unbalanced structures of human functions and relations. In balanced societies and cultures which are considered as technologically primitive, what we see is a lack of technology, but also a state of balance and order.

P-class phasor measurement unit algorithms using adaptive filtering to enhance accuracy at off-nominal frequencies [PDF]
While the present standard C.37.118-2005 for Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) requires testing only at steady-state conditions, proposed new versions of the standard require much more stringent testing, involving frequency ramps and off-nominal frequency ...

Piezoceramics-based Devices for Active Balancing of Flexible Shafts [PDF]
This paper focuses on vibration control of flexible shafts by means of rotorfixed piezoelectric materials. The target is to realize compact solutions for the suppression of problematic resonant vibration at so-called flexural critical speeds.

Identification of Rub and Unbalance in 320-MW Turbogenerators [PDF]
This article presents two experiences of applying a model‐based fault‐identification method to real machines. The first case presented is an unbalance identification in a 320 MW turbogenerator unit operating in a fossil power plant. In the second case, concerning a machine of the same size but from a different manufacturer, the turbine has been ...

Active Currents, Power Factor, and Apparent Power for Practical Power Delivery Systems
Concepts of apparent power and power factor as measures of a system's power delivery capability are over a century old but have not been defined in one general, rigorous and acceptable way.

Unbalance and Vibration of High-Speed Sewing Machine (Part I. Unbalance)
Unbalance and vibration of a Japan-made sewing machine (DDW-Type) were studied. Both the needle and its holder of this machine move up and down in its running condition, and therefore they produce unbalane force in its vertical direction. This unbalance force may, however, be cancelled by attaching a certain balance weight to its mainshaft, but by this
