文摘In response to the shortcomings of the common encoders in the industry,of which the photoelectric encoders have a poor anti-interference ability in harsh industrial environments with water,oil,dust,or strong vibrations and the magnetic encoders are too sensitive to magnetic field density,this paper designs a new differential encoder based on the grating eddy-current measurement principle,abbreviated as differential grating eddy-current encoder(DGECE).The grating eddy-current of DGECE consists of a circular array of trapezoidal reflection conductors and 16 trapezoidal coils with a special structure to form a differential relationship,which are respectively located on the code plate and the readout plate designed by a printed circuit board.The differential structure of DGECE corrects the common mode interference and the amplitude distortion due to the assembly to some extent,possesses a certain anti-interference capability,and greatly simplifies the regularization algorithm of the original data.By means of the corresponding readout circuit and demodulation algorithm,the DGECE can convert the periodic impedance variation of 16 coils into an angular output within the 360°cycle.Due to its simple manufacturing process and certain interference immunity,DGECE is easy to be integrated and mass-produced as well as applicable in the industrial spindles,especially in robot joints.This paper presents the measurement principle,implementation methods,and results of the experiment of the DGECE.The experimental results show that the accuracy of the DGECE can reach 0.237%and the measurement standard deviation can reach±0.14°within360°cycle.
文摘In this paper,the sentiment classification method of multimodal adversarial autoencoder is studied.This paper includes the introduction of the multimodal adversarial autoencoder emotion classification method and the experiment of the emotion classification method based on the encoder.The experimental analysis shows that the encoder has higher precision than other encoders in emotion classification.It is hoped that this analysis can provide some reference for the emotion classification under the current intelligent algorithm mode.

文摘The Gaussian phase distribution approximation enables analysis of restricted diffusion encoded by general gradient waveforms but fails to account for the diffraction-like features that may occur for simple pore geometries.We investigate the range of validity of the approximation by random walk simulations of restricted diffusion in a cylinder using isotropic diffusion encoding sequences as well as conventional single gradient pulse pairs and oscillating gradient waveforms.The results show that clear deviations from the approximation may be observed at relative signal attenuations below 0.1 for onedimensional sequences with few oscillation periods.Increasing the encoding dimensionality and/or number of oscillations while extending the total duration of the waveform diminishes the non-Gaussian effects while preserving the low apparent diffusivities characteristic of restriction.
