Fault detection in a multi-phase electrical transmission line (30, 32, 34) is accomplished by providing detectors (36, 38, etc.) at each end of a line section which detect the current flowing into and out of the line section and output a value of the current. The outputs of the detectors are processed in a microprocess or- controlled relay unit (80, 82, 84) by calculating the phasor relationship ...

A method for hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization of medical devices and similar instruments having long narrow lumens or diffusion restricted areas includes the step of pretreating the article to be sterilized with a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide prior to exposure to a vacuum or a vacuum followed by plasma. The method is such that, upon vaporization of the solution caused by the vacuum, t...

A receiver includes two input terminals. A VHF broadcast signal over a 6-M Hz band channel is inputted through one input terminal, while an FM broadcast signal over an approximate 100-kHz band channel is inputted through the other input terminal. The other input terminal is connected'with a trap circuit for band width reduction. This trap circuit causes attenuation in signal components over channe...
