An NMR technique for rapid measurement of flow

We present a one-scan method for determining fluid flow velocity within a few milliseconds in the presence of a static field gradient, and without the need of multiple scans. A few RF-pulses populate a series of coherence pathways, each of which exhibits a phase shift that is proportional to fluid velocity. These coherence pathways produce spin echoes separated in the time domain, thus eliminating the need for phase cycling.     

Impedance measurement technique for quantum systems

The impedance measurement technique consists in that the phase-dependent (parametric) inductance of the system is probed by the classical tank circuit via measuring the voltage. The notion of the parametric inductance for the impedance measurement technique is revisited for the case when a quantum system is probed. Measurement of the quantum state of the system of superconducting circuits (qubits) is studied theoretically. It is shown that the result of the measurement is defined by the partial energy levels population in the qubits and by its derivative.     

Displacement measurement technique for beam kinematics

It is proposed to develop a digital image correlation procedure that is suitable for beams whose kinematics is described by an Euler–Bernoulli hypothesis. As a direct output, the degrees of freedom corresponding to flexural and axial loads are directly measured. The performance of the correlation algorithm is evaluated by using a picture of a cantilever beam experiment. One load level is analyzed with the present algorithm. The latter is validated by comparing the displacement field with that given by a finite element based correlation algorithm. It is also shown that a locally buckled zone is detectable with the present procedure.     

Photon-counting distribution under square-wave intensity modulation

Periodic modulation effects on a photon-counting distribution were experimentally obtained from an intensity- stabilized tungsten lamp having a superimposed square-wave intensity modulation of 100% depth and 3.33 msec period, for variable observation time intervals from 0.2 to 10 msec. The observed distributions and variances were in good agreement with those calculated from the theoretical equation.     

Interferometric technique for measurement of droplet diameter

The paper considers the optical contact-free method of droplet diameter sizing in the flow cross-section utilizing light interference on a droplet. Distribution of light scattered by a particle was analyzed for different configurations of the measurement system using the Mie theory and approximation of geometrical optics. Basic measurement errors and dynamic range were determined. Possibility of measurements with camera mounting at the angle of 90° to the plane of a laser sheet is shown; this simplifies setup calibration and evens characteristics over the image field. The procedure of measurement system calibration and a set of algorithms for data processing are suggested. The suggested approaches were applied for measurement of characteristics of the gas-droplet jet.

Parameter adaptation technique for rapid synchronization and secure communication

An effort is made here to show how parameter adaptation can be used for achieving rapid synchronization between two chaotic systems in a time much smaller than the time scale of chaotic oscillations. This rapid synchronization can be used for faster and more secure communication of digital messages. Different symbols of the message are coded by assigning different values to a parameter set. At the receiving end the parameter values quickly adapt to the changing transmitter parameters, thereby permitting the messages to be decoded. The technique presented here is significantly more secure compared to other similar schemes because in our scheme the transmitting parameters change so rapidly that an intruder cannot infer any information about the attractors corresponding to the different parameter values. Another feature, which enhances security, is that a subsystem of the transmitter can be changed, without having to convey this information to the bona fide recipient. Thus for the same plaintext and the same key, several different cipher-texts can be generated. Further, the variables, whose evolution equations contain the coding parameters, are not transmitted.

A simple technique for laser-induced ablation pressure measurement

A simple method for measuring laser-induced ablation pressure is described. The technique utilizes the well-known double foil concept. In the present experiment the impact times were estimated by monitoring the reflectivity of the impact foil rear. The measurements were performed using a glass laser (1·06 μm wavelength) in the 10¹¹−10¹³ W/cm² irradiance range. Experimental results showed good agreement with those obtained using other techniques as also those with the self-regulating ablation model prediction.

Thermally activated state transition technique for femto-Newton-level force measurement

We develop and test a thermally activated state transition technique for ultraweak force measurement. As a force sensor, the technique was demonstrated on a classical Brownian bead immersed in water and restrained by a bistable optical trap. A femto-Newton-level flow force imposed on this sensor was measured by monitoring changes in the transition rates of the bead hopping between two energy states. The treatment of thermal disturbances as a requirement instead of a limiting factor is the major feature of the technique, and provides a new strategy by which to measure other ultraweak forces beyond the thermal noise limit.

Lumped-element technique for the measurement of complex density.

A novel lumped-element technique is employed to measure the complex density of a gas in circular pores. The complex density expresses the geometry-dependent viscous coupling between the gas and the pore walls and is related to the thermoacoustic function f(mu), or equivalently, F(lambdaV). The acoustic impedance of a compliant region coupled to a pore (or pore-array) is measured and the impedance of the compliant region is subtracted to yield the impedance of the pore(s) alone, which is directly related to F(lambdaV). Pores of different lengths are measured in order to eliminate end effects. Working down to very low frequencies achieves a wide range of values for the ratio of the viscous penetration depth to the mean pore size. The results agree very well with analytical solutions for circular pores. The technique is also applied to two porous foam materials. Comparing the results to previous measurements of the complex compressibility, it is shown that two different shape factors (or equivalently, characteristic dimensions) are required to account for the data.

超声散斑相移法测量技术

超声散斑相移法能满足工程建设中对水下物内层界面关键点位移进行测量的特殊要求。测量时,引入数字参考信号与物面测点上的散斑信号进行数字干涉,获得叠加信号强度。界面位移前后,应用软件逐步改变参考信号相位,可逐步改变叠加信号强度,根据这些信号强度值可计算出测点的位移量。应用此技术对水下试件内层表面的法线和切线方向上的位移进行了实测,测量结果与理论值有较好的吻合;研究表明打磨后的粗糙外层界面不影响应用相移法进行测量。在应用相移法测量时,不需声像转换,不需全场扫描,测量精度不受散斑尺寸限制。
