when I scroll in 1.1.6, Lyx crashes

2001-02-02 Thread Anna H.Pryor

I just changed to 1.1.6 on linux.

When I try to scroll down in my document Lyx crashes and I 
get the following message:

Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known bugs'
under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report. Thanks!
Bye.


I can view the whole document with the postcript viewer and view the whole 
thing, but when I try to view more than the first page in Lyx, it crashes.

I can send the document without the images if you want to look at it...

This is very frustrating because I thought that this was going to take care of a 
different problem (which it didn't).  Now I cannot even edit the file!!

Help!

no figure files when I use multicol.sty

2001-01-25 Thread Anna H.Pryor

I am using 1.1.5fix2 on linux.

PLEASE HELP!!

I needed to get my abstract to go across the page and the rest of the paper to 
be a two column paper so I was told to use, multicol.sty...which works 
beautifully, EXCEPT that when I use it NONE of my figures appear in my 
postscript file!?  What is happening?  My tables are fine.  When I take out the 
commands for the multicols, my figures reappear.  Do I need to do something 
extra?  Is this a bug just with Lyx and figures and multicol?  I can't believe 
that no one has never needed to do this before?

bugs?

2001-01-23 Thread Anna H.Pryor


I am using lyx 1.1.5fix2 on linux.

I have two questions that I have asked the users list, that I don't know if they 
are bugs or just cannot be done...

1)  documentpagestyleempty gets rid of all of the page numbers except for page 
1.  Is there some way to get rid of that...does 1.1.6 take care of that?

2)  I am writing a paper with two columns, but I need for the abstract to be 
centered across the top.  Is there any way to do that??

floating images within a page

2001-01-17 Thread Anna H.Pryor

I am running Lyx version 1.1.5fix2 on Linux.

I know that this isn't the appropriate list to send questions, but everytime I 
send a question to the users list, I either get no repsonse or a somewhat 
incorrect response.  On the other hand, you guys seem to be really sharp and on 
top of it all...If you don't have time for this...don't worry about it.  I will 
continue to try to figure it out myself.

My problem is this.  I have say, nine images of which I would like to float 
three each to a page. (I know that they will fit.)  Right now, when I do it, I 
might get four or two to a page, and I want exactly three.  Is there a way to do 
that using the float figure command?

figure collapse and automatic numbering

2001-01-12 Thread Anna H.Pryor

I am using lyx on 1.1.5fix2 on Linux (pc).

I have a question about the floating figure.

When I take a figure and use float and put in a caption, I don't have any 
problem, however, I was hoping to use it without a caption and just be able to 
use automatic figure labeling...ie. Figure 1, Figure 2,etc.

When I collapse the figure in the Lyx window and then uncollapse it, I no longer 
have the automatic figure labeling ...ie. Figure 1, etc.  Is this a bug, or am I 
doing something incorrect?  I sent this to the help list and someone there got 
the same thing as myself.

For now, I am just putting in a period, but it looks a little tacky.  I know 
that I could just not collapse the figures...but I don't trust myself to never 
do that in the whole time that I am working on my paper.

Is there a way around this...or as I said, am I just doing something incorrect?

reference numbers turn to question marks

2000-12-14 Thread Anna H.Pryor

I am using a pc running linix with lyx 1.1.5fix2.

When I put in a file like the one I've enclosed and try to save it as 
post-script, all of the reference numbers turn to question marks.  Could you try 
this on your system to see if it also happens with you?  I've never had this 
happen before, and I have no idea what I have changed to make it that way.  Any 
ideas would be greatly appreciated...as my coworker wants to switch to Microsoft 
Word to write our paper!! Yikes!

Metrics based on frequency analysis are currently used on vibration data
 to detect faults from gearboxes 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{8}

\end_inset 

.
 These methods have been shown to find faults 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{12}

\end_inset 

.
 Frequency methods give global information about the signal.
 In Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS), it is critical to determine
 as soon as possible when a fault has occurred so that corrective actions
 can be taken.
 In standard Fourier analysis, a signal is decomposed into individual frequencie
s.
 Unfortunately, there is no way to determine at what point in time each
 of those frequencies has occurred.
 However, there are signal processing methods which give local information
 about both time and frequency.
 These methods localize faults in time and therefore may be more sensitive
 to early changes in the signal due to impending faults.
 Some of these methods have been studied by other researchers

There are two important data sets that have been obtained and which will
 be used to compare the methods.
 The first data set was obtained from an OH-58A transmission on a test-rig

.
 It consists of 146 records where torque, bending force and lifting force
 are varied in a controlled experiment.
 No teeth were notched in the gear.
 This data serves as a baseline and shall be referred to as the phase1a

 19 teeth in which 9 teeth were innitially notched.
 The experiment was run until all 9 teeth broke.
 This shall be referred to as the historical data.
 Before this paper is completed, a third set of data from the same group

save to latex and then back to lyx

2000-12-14 Thread Anna H.Pryor

I'm not sure if you know this already...but, when I export a file from lyx to 
latex and then try to read it back into lyx, the whole system completely 
crashes.  I've done this in the past so that I could add some latex sort of 
things...I know that the idea of lyx is that you should never have to deal with 
latexbut, well...

I'm using a pc with linux using lyx version 1.1.5fix2.  I had this problem with 
1.1.4, but the whole window system did not crash before...I just got some 
unexpected results.

Am I not doing something right?  I'm guessing that these are not perfect 
inverses of each other?

I've enclosed my file in case it is particular to something that I am doing.

Thanks,

Anna

Background 
\layout Standard

Metrics based on frequency analysis are currently used on vibration data
 to detect faults from gearboxes 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{8}

\end_inset 

.
 These methods have been shown to find faults 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{12}

\end_inset 

.
 Frequency methods give global information about the signal.
 In Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS), it is critical to determine
 as soon as possible when a fault has occurred so that corrective actions
 can be taken.
 In standard Fourier analysis, a signal is decomposed into individual frequencie
s.
 Unfortunately, there is no way to determine at what point in time each
 of those frequencies has occurred.
 However, there are signal processing methods which give local information
 about both time and frequency.
 These methods localize faults in time and therefore may be more sensitive
 to early changes in the signal due to impending faults.
 Some of these methods have been studied by other researchers 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{1,10,11}

Paper Focus
\layout Standard

In this paper, five methods of time-frequency (TF) analysis will be discussed:
 the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{2}

\end_inset 

, the Choi-Williamson method 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{1,9}

\end_inset 

, Instantaneous frequency 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{5}

\end_inset 

, the Nelson method of cross-spectral analysis 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{6,7}

\end_inset 

, and the Wavelet transform 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{2}

\end_inset 

.
 In comparing these methods, the following will be included: the assumptions,
 resources, resolution, speed of calculation, resulting information, invertibili
ty and a ranking of importance.
\layout Standard

There are two important data sets that have been obtained and which will
 be used to compare the methods.
 The first data set was obtained from an OH-58A transmission on a test-rig
 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{3}

\end_inset 

.
 It consists of 146 records where torque, bending force and lifting force
 are varied in a controlled experiment.
 No teeth were notched in the gear.
 This data serves as a baseline and shall be referred to as the phase1a
 data.The second is a set of 449 records of vibration data from a gear with
 19 teeth in which 9 teeth were innitially notched.
 The experiment was run until all 9 teeth broke.
 This shall be referred to as the historical data.
 Before this paper is completed, a third set of data from the same group
 as in 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{3}

\end_inset 

 will be taken.
 An OH-58A test-rig with a single notched tooth will be tested until rupture.
 These data will be useful in obtaining information about the study of HUMS.
