Purpose The purpose of this study is to solve the key technical problems of the practical application of electric robots. The UHV multi-split transmission line power cable operation robot is an important equipment to ensure the reliable operation of high voltage lines and is a useful exploration...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to achieve the optimal system design of a four-wheel mobile robot on transmission line maintenance, as the authors know transmission line mobile robot is a kind of special robot which runs on high-voltage cable to replace or assist manual power maintenance...

Purpose This paper aims to develop a robot for tightening charged bolt to solve the shortcomings of high labor intensity, low efficiency, high risk and poor reliability in artificially tightening drainage board bolt of strain clamp for high voltage transmission line. Realizing bolt-nut capture...

This article proposes a new np control chart, called the npx chart, that employs an attribute inspection (inspecting whether a unit is conforming or nonconforming) to monitor the mean value of a variable x. The distinctive feature of the npx chart is using the statistical warning limits to...

Using a large hand-collected data set from 2001 to 2006, we find that activist hedge funds in the United States propose strategic, operational, and financial remedies and attain success or partial success in two-thirds of the cases. Hedge funds seldom seek control and in most cases are...

Using both a linear regression method and a probability-based method, we find that on average, analysts place larger than efficient weights on (i.e., they overweight) their private information when they forecast corporate earnings. We also find that analysts overweight more when issuing...

This paper proposes using a Markovian-type mean estimating procedure in the conventional cumulative sum (CUSUM) control scheme to update its reference value in an adaptive way. This generalizes a class of Markovian adaptive CUSUM (ACUSUM) schemes to achieve the aim of providing an overall good...
