Disturbances interaction at supraharmonic range (2-150 kHz) between two lighting devices and a power source is described in this article by means of an Electrical Power method. Currents and voltages were measured from a LED lamp, a CFL device and an AC Power Source under normal operation in order to describe how conducted disturbances interact within the 2-150 kHz frequency range. From an Electrical Power point of view, the devices used are described as Power-sharing agents and therefore the disturbances observed from their operation can be exchanged not only with their electric neighbourhood, but also throughout the Frequency Domain. This method can be used for the Interaction Description in Frequency Domain of steadystate disturbances between devices without directly considering the impedance behaviour of such devices.

The electroperforation distribution in thin porous materials is investigated using the quadrat counts method (QCM), a classical statistical technique aimed to evaluate the deviation from complete spatial randomness (CSR). Perforations are created by means of electrical discharges generated by needle-like tungsten electrodes. The objective of perforating a thin porous material is to enhance its air permeability, a critical issue in many industrial applications involving paper, plastics, textiles, etc. Using image analysis techniques and specialized statistical software it is shown that the perforation locations follow, beyond a certain length scale, a homogeneous 2D Poisson distribution.
