This paper proposes a distributed nodes-based clock synchronization method to sustain sub-microsecond precision synchronization of slave clocks upon master clock failure in IEEE 1588 PTP (precision time protocol) system. The sustaining is achieved by...
Relay-based traffic control systems are still used in railway control systems. Their correctness is most often verified by manual analysis, which does not guarantee correctness in all conditions. Passenger safety, control reliability, and failure-fre...
Many NHPP software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been proposed to assess software reliability during the past 40 years, but most of them have focused on modeling the fault detection process (FDP) in two ways: one is to ignore the fault corre...
An upward drift for both infliximab and adalimumab concentrations measured by the homogenous mobility shift assay (HMSA) was previously reported. We aimed to investigate the impact of this drift on clinical care of patients with inflammatory bowel di...
Predictive models are used in many different fields of science and engineering and are always prone to make faulty predictions. These faulty predictions can be more or less malignant depending on the model application. We describe fibers of failure (...
In general, a complex system is composed of different components that are usually subject to a maintenance policy. We take into account systems containing components that are under both preventive and corrective maintenance. Preventive maintenance is...
Background: Patients with a better initial in-brace correction could show a higher probability of a successful outcome. However, no one has investigated whether parameters can affect the outcomes. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate i...
This paper develops a novel dynamic correction method for the reliability assessment of large oil-immersed power transformers. First, with the transformer oil-paper insulation system (TOPIS) as the target of evaluation and the winding hot spot temper...
Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure in obstructive lung diseases may benefit from nocturnal Home non-invasive ventilation (HNIV). It has been shown that in patients with persistence of hypercapnia after an acute episode of chronic obstructive pul...
Aging or damaged electrical connectors always suffer intermittent failures (IFs) during operation. Because there are few quantitative studies on electrical connector intermittent failure mechanisms, the intermittent failures of electrical connectors...
This paper investigates how to develop a two-stage voltage-type grid-connected control method for renewable energy inverters that can make them simulate the characteristics of a synchronous generator governor. Firstly, the causes and necessities of t...
Radio frequency (RF) stealth is one of the essential research hotspots in the radar field. The anti-sorting signal is an important direction of the RF stealth signal. Theoretically speaking, the anti-sorting signal design is based on the failure prin...
