The estimated angle has error because of the atmosphere refraction, angle error of view and target height. A method is proposed in this paper to estimate the angle error from the return signal. The method makes use of the relationship between the view angle error and the signal correlation of the subswaths to estimate the angle error. The precision of this method is analyzed by the law of great number and it turns out to be in direct proportion to the root square number of averaging. The simulation result is given and the angle precision is 0.025°.展开更多

Based on the moire fringe equations in decentration condition,the mathematical model of angle measurement error is derived. It is concluded that the decentration between the centre of circular grating and the center of revolving shaft leads to the first-harmonic error of angle measurement. The correctness of the result is proved by experimental data. The method of error compensation is presented,and the angle measurement accuracy of the circular grating is effectively improved by the error compensation.展开更多

Four main errors of round inductosyn,i.e. the first-order long-period (360°) harmonic error, the second-order long-period harmonic error, the first-order short-period harmonic error and the second-order short-period harmonic error, are described, and the orthogonality of these four kinds of errors is studied. An error separating technology is proposed to separate these four kinds of errors, and in the process of separating the short-period harmonic errors, the arrangement in the order of decimal part of the angle pitch number can be omitted. The effectiveness of the technology proposed is proved through measuring and adjusting the angular errors.展开更多

The phase angl...This paper investigates the effect of the Phase Angle Error of a Constant Amplitude Voltage signal in determining the Total Vector Error (TVE) of the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) using MATLAB/Simulink. The phase angle error is measured as a function of time in microseconds at four points on the IEEE 14-bus system. When the 1 pps Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to the PMU is lost, sampling of voltage signals on the power grid is done at different rates as it is a function of time. The relationship between the PMU measured signal phase angle and the sampling rate is established by injecting a constant amplitude signal at two different points on the grid. In the simulation, 64 cycles per second is used as the reference while 24 cycles per second is used to represent the fault condition. Results show that a change in the sampling rate from 64 bps to 24 bps in the PMUs resulted in phase angle error in the voltage signals measured by the PMU at four VI Measurement points. The phase angle error measurement that was determined as a time function was used to determine the TVE. Results show that (TVE) was more than 1% in all the cases.展开更多

Azimuth is generally defined as the angle in the plane measured from the meridian’s north (or south) to the location of the line of interest. It is common to use the north azimuth;also referred to as “azimuth”, especially in civilian surveying applications. The astronomic meridian is obtained through astronomic observations of the Sun or North Star (Polaris) and it is important since it provides one instance of the geodetic or true meridian. There are two methods for determining the sun azimuth;the first is known as the hour angle method and the other is called the altitude method. The hour angle method requires the determination of accurate time while altitude method requires accurate vertical angle. The hour angle method is more popular because it is more accurate, can be performed at any time of day and is applicable to the sun, Polaris and other stars. In this article, an error modeling framework for the errors result in the process of determining the sun azimuth using the hour angle method;namely random errors, is presented. A Gauss-Markov model is used to represent the errors in the true azimuth estimation process. Six sets of sun observation for azimuth data;three with telescope direct and three reverse, including horizontal circle’s readings and time were collected and used in order to estimate the true azimuth of a line in a study area in central Orlando, Florida, United States.展开更多

文摘AIM:To study the relationships between amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations(ALFF)changes and clinical ophthalmic parameters in patients with primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)and analyze the diagnostic value of ALFF.METHODS:Twenty-four POAG patients and 24 healthy controls(HCs)underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI).Nonparametric rank-sum tests were used to compare the ALFF values in the slow-4 and slow-5 bands,and Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between ALFF changes and clinical ophthalmic parameters in POAG patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the ALFF.RESULTS:There were 16 males in POAG patients(median age 48y)and 12 males in HCs(median age 39y).Compared with HCs,POAG patients presented increased or decreased ALFF values in different brain regions,and similar changes were observed in mild POAG patients.The ALFF values were correlated with retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thickness,inner limiting membrane-retinal pigment epithelium thickness changes and the degree of visual field defects.Analysis of the diagnostic value of the ALFF via ROC curves revealed that the right medial frontal gyrus[area under the curve(AUC)=0.9063]and superior frontal gyrus(AUC=0.9097)had better diagnostic value than did the optic disc area(AUC=0.8019),visual field index(VFI%,AUC=0.8988)and macular parameters.CONCLUSION:POAG patients present altered cortical function that is significantly correlated with the optic nerve and retinal thickness and had good diagnostic value,which may reflect the underlying neuropathological mechanism of POAG.
文摘Inborn errors of metabolism(IEM)are rare disorders,most are liver-based with liver transplantation(LT)emerging as an effective cure in the pediatric population.LT has been shown to offer a cure or deter disease progression and provide symptomatic improvement in patients with IEM.Each metabolic disorder is unique,with the missing enzyme or transporter protein causing substrate deficiency or toxic byproduct production.Knowledge about the distribution of deficient enzymes,the percentage of enzymes replaced by LT,and the extent of extrahepatic involvement helps anticipate and manage complications in the perioperative period.Most patients have multisystem involvement and can be on complex dietary regimens.Metabolic decompensation can be triggered due to the stress response to surgery,fasting and other unanticipated complications perioperatively.Thus,a multidisciplinary team’s input including those from metabolic specialists is essential to develop disease and patient-specific strategies for the perioperative management of these patients during LT.In this review,we outline the classification of IEM,indications for LT along with potential benefits,basic metabolic defects and their implications,details of extrahepatic involvement and perioperative management strategies for LT in children with some of the commonly presenting IEM,to assist anesthesiologists handling this cohort of patients.

文摘In the machining of complicated surfaces,the cutters with large length/diameter ratios are used widely and the deformation of the machining system is one of the principal error sources.During the process planning stage,the cutting direction angle,the cutter lead and tilt angles are usually optimized to minimize the force induced error.It may lead to a low machining efficiency for bullnose end mills,as the material removal rates are different largely for different machining angles.In this paper,the influence mechanism of the machining angles on the force induced error is studied based on the models of the instantaneous cutting force when the cutter flute traveling through the cutting contact point and the stiffness of the machining system.In order to evaluate the machining angles,the force induced error/efficiency indicator(FEI)is defined as the division of the force induced error and the equal volume sphere of the removed material.FEI is dimensionless,with the lower FEI,the lower force induced error and the higher machining efficiency.For optimal selection of the machining angles,the critical FEI is calculated with the constraint of force induced error and the desired material removal rate,and the critical FEI separate the set of the machining angles into two subsets.After the feed rate scheduling process,the machining angles in the optimal subset would have higher machining accuracy and efficiency,while the machining angles in the other subset have lower machining accuracy and efficiency.Through the machining experiment of five axis machining and freeform surface machining,the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed FEI method is verified with a bullnose end mill,which can improve the machining efficiency with the constraint of force induced error.
文摘The wide-swath method based on multi-receiver is a novel and highly accurate wide-swath method, which requires a very precise view angle. The estimated angle has error because of the atmosphere refraction, angle error of view and target height. A method is proposed in this paper to estimate the angle error from the return signal. The method makes use of the relationship between the view angle error and the signal correlation of the subswaths to estimate the angle error. The precision of this method is analyzed by the law of great number and it turns out to be in direct proportion to the root square number of averaging. The simulation result is given and the angle precision is 0.025°.

文摘As the geometric center of circular grating does not coincide with the rotation center,the angle measurement error of circular grating is analyzed. Based on the moire fringe equations in decentration condition,the mathematical model of angle measurement error is derived. It is concluded that the decentration between the centre of circular grating and the center of revolving shaft leads to the first-harmonic error of angle measurement. The correctness of the result is proved by experimental data. The method of error compensation is presented,and the angle measurement accuracy of the circular grating is effectively improved by the error compensation.
文摘Round inductosyn is widely used in inertial navigation test equipment, and its accuracy has significant effect on the general accuracy of the equipment. Four main errors of round inductosyn,i.e. the first-order long-period (360°) harmonic error, the second-order long-period harmonic error, the first-order short-period harmonic error and the second-order short-period harmonic error, are described, and the orthogonality of these four kinds of errors is studied. An error separating technology is proposed to separate these four kinds of errors, and in the process of separating the short-period harmonic errors, the arrangement in the order of decimal part of the angle pitch number can be omitted. The effectiveness of the technology proposed is proved through measuring and adjusting the angular errors.

文摘Considering the problem that the optimal error dynamics can only converge at the terminal time,an impact angle/time constraint missile guidance law with finite-time convergence is designed in this paper,which is based on the pure proportional navigation(PPN)guidance law and the fast terminal error dynamics(FTED)approach.The missile guidance model and FTED equation are given first,and the dynamic equation of impact angle/time error based on PPN is also derived.Then,the guidance law is designed based on FTED,and the guidance error can converge to 0 in a finite time.Furthermore,considering the field of view constraint,the guidance law is improved by using the saturation function mapping method.Finally,a numerical simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the guidance law,which shows that the guidance law proposed in this paper can make the missile quickly adjust to the desired states in advance,and effectively relieve the overload saturation pressure of the actuator.

文摘Due to the excellent self-centering and load-carrying capability,curvic couplings have been widely used in advanced aero-engine rotors.However,curvic tooth surface errors lead to poor assembly precision.Traditional physical-master-gauge-based indirect tooth surface error measurement and circumferential assembly angle optimization methods have the disadvantages of high cost and weak generality.The unknown tooth surface fitting mechanism is a big barrier to assembly precision prediction and improvement.Therefore,this work puts forward a data-driven assembly simulation and optimization approach for aero-engine rotors connected by curvic couplings.The origin of curvic tooth surface error is deeply investigated.Using 5-axis sweep scan method,a large amount of high-precision curvic tooth surface data are acquired efficiently.Based on geometric models of parts,the fitting mechanism of curvic couplings is uncovered for assembly precision simulation and prediction.A circumferential assembly angle optimization model is developed to decrease axial and radial assembly runouts.Experimental results show that the assembly precision can be predicted accurately and improved dramatically.By uncovering the essential principle of the assembly precision formation and proposing circumferential assembly angle optimization model,this work is meaningful for assembly quality,efficiency and economy improvement of multistage aero-engine rotors connected by curvic couplings.

文摘To achieve better observation for sea surface,a new generation of wide-swath interferometric altimeter satellites is proposed.Before satellite launch,it is particularly important to study the data processing methods and carry out the detailed error analysis of ocean satellites,because it is directly related to the ultimate ability of satellites to capture ocean information.For this purpose,ocean eddies are considered a specific case of ocean signals,and it can cause significant changes in sea surface elevation.It is suitable for theoretical simulation of the sea surface and systematic simulation of the altimeter.We analyzed the impacts of random error and baseline error on the sea surface and ocean signals and proposed a combined strategy of low-pass filtering,empirical orthogonal function(EOF)decomposition,and linear fitting to remove the errors.Through this strategy,sea surface anomalies caused by errors were considerably improved,and the capability of satellite for capturing ocean information was enhanced.Notably,we found that the baseline error in sea surface height data was likely to cause inaccuracy in eddy boundary detection,as well as false eddy detection.These abnormalities could be prevented for"clean"sea surface height after the errors removal.
文摘This paper investigates the effect of the Phase Angle Error of a Constant Amplitude Voltage signal in determining the Total Vector Error (TVE) of the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) using MATLAB/Simulink. The phase angle error is measured as a function of time in microseconds at four points on the IEEE 14-bus system. When the 1 pps Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to the PMU is lost, sampling of voltage signals on the power grid is done at different rates as it is a function of time. The relationship between the PMU measured signal phase angle and the sampling rate is established by injecting a constant amplitude signal at two different points on the grid. In the simulation, 64 cycles per second is used as the reference while 24 cycles per second is used to represent the fault condition. Results show that a change in the sampling rate from 64 bps to 24 bps in the PMUs resulted in phase angle error in the voltage signals measured by the PMU at four VI Measurement points. The phase angle error measurement that was determined as a time function was used to determine the TVE. Results show that (TVE) was more than 1% in all the cases.

文摘Sun observations provide a robust way for determining the geodetic or true azimuth at a location. Azimuth is generally defined as the angle in the plane measured from the meridian’s north (or south) to the location of the line of interest. It is common to use the north azimuth;also referred to as “azimuth”, especially in civilian surveying applications. The astronomic meridian is obtained through astronomic observations of the Sun or North Star (Polaris) and it is important since it provides one instance of the geodetic or true meridian. There are two methods for determining the sun azimuth;the first is known as the hour angle method and the other is called the altitude method. The hour angle method requires the determination of accurate time while altitude method requires accurate vertical angle. The hour angle method is more popular because it is more accurate, can be performed at any time of day and is applicable to the sun, Polaris and other stars. In this article, an error modeling framework for the errors result in the process of determining the sun azimuth using the hour angle method;namely random errors, is presented. A Gauss-Markov model is used to represent the errors in the true azimuth estimation process. Six sets of sun observation for azimuth data;three with telescope direct and three reverse, including horizontal circle’s readings and time were collected and used in order to estimate the true azimuth of a line in a study area in central Orlando, Florida, United States.
