Failure of underground cable on San Diego Gas & Electric's electric underground distribution system is an ever increasing problem. While there are a great number of cable diagnostic techniques available, none lend themselves to both an averaged and location specific, on-line implementation. This dissertation demonstrates the development of an on-line suitable technique that utilizes transients and Fast Fourier Transforms to determine a cable section?s impedance magnitude and phase angle as a function of frequency. Simultaneously a theoretical model was developed to simulate various scenarios that an in-service cable might experience. Significant effort was expended developing and optimizing the measurement and data analysis technique. This includes a statistical approach for comparing performance of different cable samples. Both the preliminary and final tests demonstrated the superiority of the frequency domain analysis over comparisons in the time domain. With the effort to date, there appears to be three distinct results: good cable, degraded cable and damaged cable. These differences are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. Additionally, there appears to be good agreement between the theoretical model and actual test results. Consequently, this measurement methodology continues to hold promise for future practical development.

<p>Have you ever had problems sorting your cables, are the winders you use too big and crude then the EC-winder is the product for you.</p><p>The EC-winder concept is a compact and intelligent winder for home application. Its simple design and subtle looks enables it to blend in with the surrounding environment. Its function is designed so that it with ease can be handled by any one after only a couple of instructions. You simply thread the cable trough the opening on the winder and then you rotate the upper part until the cable reaches the desired length. After use the winder can be opened to enable easy extraction of the cable.</p>

Due to the regulations and features of the industrial environment, the managerial efficiency plays a significant role of the business in cable television system operators. An effective cost reduction is possible to increase the profitability dramatically and the personnel cost is the easiest one to reduce sharply. Engineering department is the largest division in a cable television system operator, but the present wage system can't neither motivate the employees nor monitor those who don't pay their efforts. Therefore, we find that it is a valuable issue to discuss. This research begins from the motivation theory, realizing people's work motivations, reviewing past references and decides to adapt the four attributes wage system design model as our analysis structure. The researcher uses case study as the methodology, a field investigation research in a cable television system operator located in southern Taiwan is conducted. Several following conclusions are made to describe their work: the instability of work time, the inferior work environment and the ambiguous appraisal of the performance. Practical suggestions are also presented after analyzing the work attributes and wage system.
