Accounting power supply schemes for traction substations in the calculation of short circuits in the AC traction network by Yu. I. Zharkov, N. A. Popova, E. P. Figurnov

“…Resistance of the supporting substations as power sources must takes into account connected equivalent power system.Such equivalenting should be carried out by known values of currents or short-circuit powers at the inputs of the reference substation or, if such information is not available, by the rated values of the switched-off currents or powers of the switches of high-voltage line connections.The following power schemes for traction substations are considered: each from its own supporting substation, which is part of an electrically uncoupled external power supply system; from the double-circuit high-voltage line of longitudinal power supply when it is powered from different supporting substations; from the supporting network substation, the traction substation receives power from two lines, and from this the traction substations receive power from two lines in a circle pattern.These three common cases cover all the most common power schemes for traction substations. …”

The Ethical Significance of Brain-Computer Interfaces as Enablers of Communication by Toma Gruica

“…Intracortical BCIs, by contrast, can restore communicative capacity by directly decoding neural signals associated with intended speech or movement.[5] One landmark study documented an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient who, after entering CLIS, learned to use an implanted BCI speller to construct sentences at a rate of approximately one character per minute. The patient’s communications ranged from the mundane, such as requesting music, to expressions of existential significance involving care preferences.[6] Importantly, when researchers were asked how they would respond if the patient spelled “unplug my ventilator,” they emphatically stated that BCI output would not determine decisions regarding life support withdrawal. …”
