A monocular pose measurement method of a translation-only one-dimensional object without scene information

A monocular method to measure the pose of a translation-only one-dimensional (1D) object containing at least two known characteristic points is presented. The position of any other point on the 1D object can be located after the pose measurement. Scene information is not needed to apply the method. If the distance between the characteristic points is unknown, there is a scale factor between the object's real positions and the measurement results. The method can also be used to measure the pose and shape parameters of a parallelogram, prism or cylinder object.     

平行平板横向剪切干涉仪装调误差的矫正方法研究

对平行平板双光路横向剪切干涉仪的装调进行了研究,提出了一种矫正两个平行平板之间角度误差的方法.输出激光的波前采用Zernike多项式拟合,经过理论推导,发现两个方向差分波前求解出的倾斜像散之差与平行平板的角度误差存在线性关系,利用两个方向倾斜像散之差来矫正两个平行平板之间的角度误差.在平行平板横向剪切干涉仪的装调过程中使两个方向差分波前的倾斜像散之差为零即可以使两个方向的平行平板之间的角度误差值为零.进一步地从实验上证明了这个线性关系,对于所用的实验系统,当离焦像差为-3.224 7±0.001 8,两个方向差分波前的倾斜像散之差波动范围为±2.0×10^-3时,平行平板的角度误差可以控制在8.82″之内,高阶像差对平行平板的角度误差调节精度的影响约为1.63″.该方法具有装调简单、精确度高,易于流程化操作的优点.     

Forces between a hard surface and an air–aqueous interface with and without films

The adsorption of particles to air–aqueous interfaces is vital in many applications, such as mineral flotation and the stabilization of food foams. The forces in the system determine whether a particle will attach to an air–aqueous interface. The forces between a particle and an air–aqueous interface are influenced by Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek forces (i.e. van der Waals and electrostatic forces), non–Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek forces (e.g. hydrophobic, hydrodynamic, structural, and capillary forces), liquid drainage, and liquid flow. As an air–aqueous interface can be deformed by a particle, the forces measured between an air–aqueous interface and a particle can differ from those measured between two hard surfaces separated by liquid. The presence of a film at an air–aqueous interface can also change the forces.     

An evaluation method for measuring SPL and mode shape of tire cavity resonance by using multi-microphone system

This paper presents an evaluation method for measuring the sound pressure level and mode shapes of tire cavity resonance by using a multi-microphone system. Two commercial tires were evaluated to compare abilities of noise suppression by means of this method in the range of the first resonance from 200 to 260 Hz. One tire was a special tire that suppresses tire cavity resonance with polyurethane foam mounted on the tire’s inner liner. The other tire was a normal tire with no polyurethane foam. The mode shape change from vertical to horizontal direction in both tires. However, the sound pressure level of the special tire was lower than the normal tire at all frequencies.     

Numerical analysis of stress distribution in the upper arm tissues under an inflatable cuff: Implications for noninvasive blood pressure measurement

An inflatable cuff wrapped around the upper arm is widely used in noninvasive blood pressure measurement. However, the mechanical interaction between cuff and arm tissues, a factor that potentially affects the accuracy of noninvasive blood pressure measurement, remains rarely addressed. In the present study, finite element (FE) mod-els were constructed to quantify intra-arm stresses generated by cuff compression, aiming to provide some theoretical evi-dence for identifying factors of importance for blood pressure measurement or explaining clinical observations. Obtained results showed that the simulated tissue stresses were highly sensitive to the distribution of cuff pressure on the arm sur-face and the contact condition between muscle and bone. In contrast, the magnitude of cuff pressure and small variations in elastic properties of arm soft tissues had little influence on the efficiency of pressure transmission in arm tissues. In par-ticular, it was found that a thickened subcutaneous fat layer in obese subjects significantly reduced the effective pres-sure transmitted to the brachial artery, which may explain why blood pressure overestimation occurs more frequently in obese subjects in noninvasive blood pressure measurement.     

一种基于Gauss von Mises分布模型的非线性量测更新方法

基于状态空间模型的许多传统滤波算法都基于Rn空间中的高斯分布模型,但当状态向量中包含角变量或方向变量时,难以达到理想的效果。针对J.T.Horwood等提出的nS?R流形上的Gauss Von Mises(GVM)多变量概率密度分布,扩展了狄拉克混合逼近方法,给出了联合分布的GVM逼近方法,推导了后验分布的GVM参数计算公式,设计了量测更新状态估计算法。将J.T.Horwood等的时间更新算法与所提出的量测更新算法相结合,可实现基于GVM分布的递推贝叶斯滤波器(GVMF)。仿真结果表明,当状态向量符合GVM概率分布模型时,GVMF对角变量的估计明显优于传统的扩展卡尔曼滤波器。     

基于邻域贡献权值细化的圆心亚像素定位算法

针对传统的圆心算法过程复杂、定位精度受初始边缘提取效果影响较大等问题,提出了一种基于邻域贡献权值细化的圆心亚像素定位算法。首先引入邻域贡献权值系数,改进传统非极大值抑制法,细化边缘;然后在边缘点的梯度方向对灰度值进行高斯拟合,确定亚像素边缘位置;最后针对边缘突变点提出了基于随机抽样一致的最小二乘法来拟合圆心。实验结果表明,该算法具有较好的精度和稳定性,圆心的提取精度可以达到0.1个像素。     

Direct Measurement of Ammonia in Ambient Air

Abstract

A model is proposed which addresses the factors involved in the axial light attenuation of a coated waveguide (collector/sensor) whose polymer coating has been sensitized to ammonia. The experimental results appear to corroborate the model predictions of high sensitivity (ppb) and independence of sample flow on the collector/sensor. Concentration and relative humidity both determine the slopes of the transmission curves, the latter factor of which can be reduced to a second order effect by controlling the relative humidity in the sample holder.     

Einfluß der Nachimpulse des Photosekundärelektronenvervielfachers bei Flüssigkeitsszintillationszählungen

Der Einfluβder Nachimpulse einiger Exemplare des Vervielfachertyps S 12 FS 35 vom VEB Carl Zeiss Jena auf die Flüssigkeitsszintillationszählung wurde in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen Parametern untersucht. Daraus ergeben sich praktische Hinweise zur Vermeidung von Fehlmessungen durch Nachimpulse, die bei absoluten Aktivitätsbestimmungen mit dem Flüssigkeitsszintillationszähler (z. B. Meβkopf Nr. 25510 der Firma E. Zimmermann, Leipzig) unbedingt zu berücksichtigen sind.     

A LabVIEW-based real-time measurement system for polarization detection and calibration

A rapid real-time polarization measurement system was designed and implemented in this paper. The system is centered round a computer running application developed for the purpose. The paper illustrates how to build such an excellent application with National Instruments’ graphical programming language LabVIEW, a synchronized high speed multi-channels data acquisition card and some photoelectric conversion module in detail. With simple and friendly user interface, the experimental result shows that the measurement system has high computational efficiency, high precision calibration matrix, which can be efficiently utilized in experiments relating to the measurement of polarization.
