We investigate subsets of critical sets of some Youden squares in the context of secret sharing schemes. A subset C of a Youden square is called a critical set, if C can be uniquely completed to a Youden square but any subset of C cannot does not have a unique completion to a Youden square. That part of a Youden square Y which is inaccessible to subsets of a critical set C of Y, called the strongbox of C, may be thought to contain secret information. We study the size of the secret. Seberry and Street have shown how strongboxes …

Measurements of performance of existing technology air conditioner systems with regards to their impact on power quality in LV distribution systems are presented. Three types of split-phase air conditioners are studied including direct on line starting, soft starter and inverter fed units. Results of testing and subsequent calculations illustrate that the direct on line and soft starter units do not meet compliance requirements of the relevant standard, and as penetration of air conditioners increases, voltage fluctuations may become a significant problem in some LV distribution systems in Australia.
