18 results about "Dead time" patented technology

For detection systems that record discrete events, such as particle and nuclear detectors, the dead time is the time after each event during which the system is not able to record another event. An everyday life example of this is what happens when someone takes a photo using a flash - another picture cannot be taken immediately afterward because the flash needs a few seconds to recharge. In addition to lowering the detection efficiency, dead times can have other effects, such as creating possible exploits in quantum cryptography.

Open-phase fault and secondary arc extinction detection in electric power systems

PendingUS20250385505A1Emergency protection detectionArrangements responsive to underloadDead timeElectric power system
Systems, methods, and devices presented herein are directed toward detecting a secondary arc extinction (SAE). SAE detection circuitry may identify the presence of arcing and bolted faults that persist through the end of a dead time (e.g., a predetermined time period between detection of a secondary arc and auto-reclosing). The SAE detection circuitry may detect the extinction of secondary arcing prior to the dead time expiring and provide output signals that may enable reclosing prior to the expiration of the dead time when secondary arc extinction is detected or to block reclosing when the secondary arc is still present at the end of the dead time. Further, the SAE detection circuitry may be implemented for transposed, untransposed, compensated, and uncompensated lines.
