Abstract: A computer executing a software algorithm may be used to detect a depression in a temperature profile. The temperature profile may be smoothed to eliminate noise. Next, the temperature profile's center may be extracted. A polynomial may be fitted to extracted data. An algorithm used to fit the polynomial may guarantee that the fitted curve's peak may be below the actual temperature data's peak. Next, residuals may be calculated by subtracting the fitted curve from the actual data. If there is a dip at the center, then the residuals in the center may be less than zero. The software algorithm executing on the computer may then make a decision based on a sign of the residuals. For example, residuals less than zero may indicate bar porosity. Residuals above zero may indicate no porosity. The magnitude of the residuals may then be used to classify a size of a detected defect.

Abstract translation: 可以使用执行软件算法的计算机来检测温度分布中的抑制。 可以平滑温度曲线以消除噪声。 接下来，可以提取温度曲线的中心。 可以将多项式拟合到提取的数据。 用于拟合多项式的算法可以保证拟合曲线的峰值可能低于实际温度数据的峰值。 接下来，可以通过从实际数据中减去拟合曲线来计算残差。 如果中心有倾角，则中心的残差可能小于零。 然后，在计算机上执行的软件算法可以基于残差的符号做出决定。 例如，小于零的残差可能表示棒孔隙度。 零以上的残余物可能表示无孔隙度。 然后可以使用残差的大小来分类检测到的缺陷的大小。

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a finished cable by a process directed to reduce the amount of force required to install the cable. The process involves the extrusion of the cable's outer sheath and the incorporation of a pulling lubricant in connection with, and prior to the completion of, the extrusion to reduce the sheath's surface coefficient of friction as well as reduce the required force to pull the cable for installation. The conductor core is coated with an extruded plastic material with which an appropriate (in amount and type) pulling lubricant is initially combined with the plastic material prior to the formation of the sheath and in which the sheathed conductor core is thereafter cooled, the lubricant either migrating to and/or permeating the sheath to be available at the surface of the sheath at the time of the cable's installation. The preselected lubricant is disclosed as either combined with the plastic material during initial pelletization, or mixed with the plastic pellets prior to introduction of the mixture into the extruding head, or introduced into the extruding head at a separate location downstream from where the plastic material is introduced into the extruding head.
