We report a direct measurement of the low-frequency noise spectrum in a superconducting flux qubit. Our method uses the noise sensitivity of a free-induction Ramsey interference experiment, comprising free evolution in the presence of noise for a fixed period of time followed by single-shot qubit-state measurement. Repeating this procedure enables Fourier-transform noise spectroscopy with access to frequencies up to the achievable repetition rate, a regime relevant to dephasing in ensemble-averaged time-domain measurements such as Ramsey interferometry. Rotating the qubit's quantization axis allows us to measure two types of noise: effective flux noise and effective critical-current or charge noise. For both noise sources, we observe that the very same 1/f-type power laws measured at considerably higher frequencies (0.2−20 MHz) are consistent with the noise in the 0.01−100-Hz range measured here. We find no evidence of temperature dependence of the noises over 65−200 mK, and also no evidence of time-domain correlations between the two noises. These methods and results are pertinent to the dephasing of all superconducting qubits.

We consider the problem of high-dimensional Gaussian graphical model selection. We identify a set of graphs for which an efficient estimation algorithm exists, and this algorithm is based on thresholding of empirical conditional covariances. Under a set of transparent conditions, we establish structural consistency (or sparsistency) for the proposed algorithm, when the number of samples n = Ω(Jmin-2 log p), where p is the number of variables and Jmin is the minimum (absolute) edge potential of the graphical model. The sufficient conditions for sparsistency are based on the notion of walk-summability of the model and the presence of sparse local vertex separators in the underlying graph. We also derive novel non-asymptotic necessary conditions on the number of samples required for sparsistency.

This paper proposes an online fault detection method for induction motors using frequency-domain independent component analysis. Frequency-domain results, which are obtained by applying Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to measured stator current time-domain waveforms, are analyzed with the aim of extracting frequency signatures of healthy and faulty motors with broken rotor-bar or bearing problem. Independent components analysis (ICA) is applied for such an aim to the FFT results. The obtained independent components as well as the FFT results are then used to obtain the combined fault signatures. The proposed method overcomes problems occurring in many existing FFT-based methods. Results using laboratory-collected data demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method, as well as its immunity against measurement noises and motor parameters.

This paper studies the stator currents collected from several inverter-fed laboratory induction motors and proposes a new feature based frequency domain analysis method for performing the detection of induction motor faults, such as the broken rotor-bar or bearing fault. The mathematical formulation is presented to calculate the features, which are called FFT-ICA features in this paper. The obtained FFT-ICA features are normalized by using healthy motor as benchmarks to establish a feature database for fault detection. Compare with conventional frequency-domain analysis method, no prior knowledge of the motor parameters or other measurements are required for calculating features. Only one phase stator current waveforms are enough to provide consistent diagnosis of inverter-fed induction motors at different frequencies. The proposed method also outperforms our previous time domain analysis method.

A supervisory strategy is proposed for improving the performance of an evolutionary-algorithm-based system-maintenance optimizer developed in our previous work for offshore power systems. The system-maintenance optimizer generates a set of initial maintenance plans, and exports them to an intelligent maintenance advisor connected to it for implementation. The proposed supervisory strategy uses a set of intelligent rules for adjusting the crossover and mutation rates of the present evolutionary algorithm. A mechanism is developed for refining and generalizing the supervisory rules according to the user's experience. The proposed supervisory strategy aims to improve the search ability and efficiency of the present evolutionary algorithm. Merits of the proposed supervisory strategy are demonstrated in case studies using our system-maintenance optimizer.
