Fault Detection in Induction Motor Using Time Domain and Spectral Imaging-Based Transfer Learning Approach on Vibration Data.

The induction motor plays a vital role in industrial drive systems due to its robustness and easy maintenance but at the same time, it suffers electrical faults, mainly rotor faults such as broken rotor bars. Early shortcoming identification is needed to lessen support expenses and hinder high costs by using failure detection frameworks that give features extraction and pattern grouping of the issue to distinguish the failure in an induction motor using classification models. In this paper, the open-source dataset of the rotor with the broken bars in a three-phase induction motor available on the IEEE data port is used for fault classification.

Development of an Oxide Layer on Al 6061 Using Plasma Arc Electrolytic Oxidation in Silicate-Based Electrolyte.

The plasma electrolytic method is one of the techniques which can be used to form an oxide layer on the substrate material surface. This technique employs ion exchange by developing an electrolytic arc between the cathode and the anode. The strong bond at high temperatures promotes the formation of an oxide layer on the metal surface.

Singlet exciton fission photovoltaics.

Singlet exciton fission, a process that generates two excitons from a single photon, is perhaps the most efficient of the various multiexciton-generation processes studied to date, offering the potential to increase the efficiency of solar devices. But its unique characteristic, splitting a photogenerated singlet exciton into two dark triplet states, means that the empty absorption region between the singlet and triplet excitons must be filled by adding another material that captures low-energy photons. This has required the development of specialized device architectures.

Triplet exciton dissociation in singlet exciton fission photovoltaics.

Triplet exciton dissociation in singlet exciton fission devices with three classes of acceptors are characterized: fullerenes, perylene diimides, and PbS and PbSe colloidal nanocrystals. Using photocurrent spectroscopy and a magnetic field probe it is found that colloidal PbSe nanocrystals are the most promising acceptors, capable of efficient triplet exciton dissociation and long wavelength absorption.

Singlet exciton fission in nanostructured organic solar cells.

Singlet exciton fission is an efficient multiexciton generation process in organic molecules. But two concerns must be satisfied before it can be exploited in low-cost solution-processed organic solar cells. Fission must be combined with longer wavelength absorption in a structure that can potentially surpass the single junction limit, and its efficiency must be demonstrated in nanoscale domains within blended devices.
