Blending-Based Ensemble Learning Low-Voltage Station Area Theft Detection by Dunchu Chen, Wenwu Li, Jie Fang

“…Then, based on the historical data, the model makes a short-term prediction of the power consumption of the station area the next day, and focuses on the verification of the suspected energy-stealing station area where the Root Mean Square Percentage Error (RSPE) exceeds the threshold, so as to lock in the potential energy stealing users. Finally, through the comparison and verification of real examples, the search scope for electricity theft inspections was reduced by 79.17%, greatly improving the detection efficiency of the power supply company. …”

An External Gear Pump with Axial Stepped-gear Structure and Without Additional Trapped-oil Relief-grooves by Wang Hao, Song Anran, Li Yulong

“…In order to solve the problems in the existing gear pump with another trapped oil buffer groove, an external gear pump with axial stepped-gear structure for realizing two different contact ratios is proposed; the trapped-oil load flow from the gear section with a contact ratio greater than 1 is balanced by the trapped-oil relief flow from the gear section with a contact ratio equal to 1, and the trapped-oil phenomenon will be fully alleviated; then the relief gap from the gear section with a contact ratio equal to 1 is calculated by 3D feature method, and the trapped-oil pressure formula is derived by making the trapped-oil load flow equal to the trapped-oil relief flow; finally, an example is demonstrated and validated by PumpLinx software. …”
