CONCEPTS OF IMPROVING CURRENT PROTECTION OF POWER-GRID LINES by F. A. Romaniuk, M. A. Shevaldin

“…The authors offer a variant for solving the problem with computation of the second-stage time delays in those instances where several feeders diverge from the bus bars of the substation located in the end of the protected line.Improving current protections for the 6–35 kV transmission lines with one-end power supply against interphase short-circuits can be based on the collective application of the following principles: accounting for the type and location of the short-circuit which provides for the high-performance cutoff zone instantaneous expansion and its independence on the mode of failure and the grid operation mode. …”

Prospects for the Use of Quasi-Mersen Numbers in the Design of Parallel-Serial Processors by Aruzhan Kadyrzhan, Kaisarali Kadyrzhan, Akhat Bakirov, Ibragim Suleimenov

“…It is shown that the processor of the proposed type can be based on the use of a set of adders modulo a quasi-Mersenne number, each of which operates independently. A circuit of a modulo <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mn>2</mn><mi>k</mi></msup><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> adder is proposed, which can be called a trigger circuit, since its peculiarity is the existence (at certain values of the summed quantities) of two stable states. …”
