Cable Eccentricity Visualization via Dot Array Frequency Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for visualizing cable eccentricity fail to effectively display rapid fluctuations, leading to undetectable eccentricities in graphical representations, especially when averaging measured values.
Innovation Solution
The methods involve representing individual eccentricity values as dot arrays, circular or elliptical areas, and circular rings to visualize frequency distributions, with standard deviation represented as radii or ring widths, allowing for clear display of short-term fluctuations and average eccentricities in a coordinate system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If measured values are averaged using known methods, then the measurement process is simplified and processing time is reduced, but rapid eccentricity fluctuations become undetectable and samples exhibit eccentricities that are not discernible in the graphic representation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measured eccentricity values by representing individual values as separate dots in a dot array graphic representation, rather than averaging them into a single value. This segmentation allows each individual measurement to be visualized separately, preserving information about rapid fluctuations while maintaining high processing speed through efficient graphical rendering of the segmented data points.
2Measurement precision
If individual eccentricity values are displayed as dot arrays, then rapid fluctuations become visible, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or computational averaging mechanisms with a simplified graphical representation system. By substituting the mechanical process of averaging with a visual dot array system, the patent achieves high measurement precision for detecting fluctuations while reducing processing complexity through intuitive graphical display rather than complex computational algorithms.
3Measurement precision
If measurements are taken at multiple circumferential locations simultaneously, then eccentricity determination precision is improved, but the amount of data to be processed and visualized increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the visualization by displaying individual eccentricity values from multiple circumferential measurement locations as dots positioned according to their angular position around the cable. This dimensional approach allows precise representation of data from multiple locations simultaneously without increasing visualization complexity, as the angular positioning naturally organizes the multi-location data in an intuitive circular pattern.

AI summary
Method for visualizing the eccentricity of cables obtained during eccentricity measurement of the cables, wherein eccentricity measurements are carried out simultaneously at several locations spaced apart around the circumference of the cable during transport, and the measured values are graphically displayed on a screen after processing in a computer, characterized in that a frequency distribution of individual eccentricity values obtained during the measurement interval is displayed on the screen, wherein the instrument-related scatter of the measured values is significantly smaller than the scatter of the individual eccentricity values.
