An accurate error assessment is crucial for precise energy metering. However, tracking real-time quantitative changes in capacitive voltage transformer errors, particularly minor variations in multi-channel setups, remains challenging. This paper proposes a method for online error tracking of multi-channel capacitive voltage transformers using a Co-Prediction Matrix. The approach leverages the strong correlation between in-phase channels, particularly the invariance of the signal proportions among them. By establishing a co-prediction matrix based on these proportional relationships, The influence of voltage changes on the primary measurements is mitigated. Analyzing the relationships between the co-prediction matrices over time allows for inferring true measurement errors. Experimental validation with real-world data confirms the effectiveness of the method, demonstrating its capability to continuously track capacitive voltage transformer measurement errors online with precision over extended durations.展开更多

We modeled the Zeta converter under continuous conduction mode operation. We derived a switching control law that brings the output voltage to the desired level. Due to infinite switching occurring at the desired level, we enhanced the switching control law by allowing a sizeable output voltage ripple. We derived mathematical models that allow one to choose the desired switching frequency. In practice, the existence of the non-ideal properties of the Zeta converter results in steady-state output voltage error. By analyzing the power loss in the zeta converter, we proposed an improved switching control law that eliminates the steady-state output voltage error. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated with simulation results.展开更多

文摘Null compensation interferometry is the primary testing method for the manufacture of ultra-high-precision aspheric mirrors.The crosstalk fringes generated by stray light in interferometry can affect accuracy and potentially prevent the testing from proceeding normally.Position errors include the decenter error,tilt error,and distance error.During the testing process,position errors will impact the testing accuracy and the crosstalk fringes generated by stray light.To determine the specific impact of position errors,we use the concept of Hindle shell testing of a convex aspheric mirror,and propose the simulation method of crosstalk fringes in null compensation interferometry.We also propose evaluation indices of crosstalk fringes in interferometry and simulate the influence of position errors on the crosstalk fringes.This work aims to help improve the design of compensation interferometry schemes,enhance the feasibility of the design,reduce engineering risks,and improve efficiency.

文摘A fast and accurate homography matrix method for four-wheel positioning detection was presented in the paper.Fewer sensors were required with simpler operation and faster detection.Firstly,eight feature points were extracted by using the target detection algorithm based on the fitting method.Secondly,six feature points were obtained by line fitting-based selection.Thirdly,from the selected six feature points,five points were randomly chosen to minimize the re-projection error.Finally,four points were randomly selected from these five feature points to find the homography matrix,and the other point was back to the homography matrix for verification.The experimental results show that the mean re-projection error is reduced by about 3.41%−4.57%compared with the modified RANSAC(Random sample consensus)algorithm.With the optimized algorithm,the error is reduced by about 12.81%−13.86%compared with the improved RANSAC algorithm.Compared with traditional targets,the average calibration time is reduced by about 26.95%−27.88%.The results indicated that the combination of target algorithm and optimization algorithm could ensure the accuracy and reliability of four-wheel positioning.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the effects of refractive errors and binocular vision anomalies on the quality of life(QOL)of university students.METHODS:This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on university students using simple random sampling.Objective refraction,ocular alignment,vergence and accommodative performance were measured and assessed in all participants.Data on QOL were collected using the College of Optometrists in Vision Development-Quality of Life(COVD-QOL)Questionnaire.The effect of mentioned parameters on the QOL were evaluated.RESULTS:Totally 726 students with mean age of 21.35±1.88y were evaluated in this study,51.5%of whom were female.Esophoria was caused significantly lower QOL in the domains of somatic symptoms and occupationalphysical symptoms(P<0.05);Besides,esotropia decreased QOL in domains of somatic symptoms P=0.002 and psychological factors(P=0.023).Students with accommodation insufficiency experienced more symptoms in all domains(P<0.05)except for psychological factors(P=0.07).Increasing in the near point of convergence and accommodation and decreases QOL and increasing accommodative facility increases QOL(all P<0.05).Myopia and astigmatism cause decrease in QOL(both P<0.05),but hyperopic students had better QOL in comparison with others(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Screening programs and treatment of refractive errors and binocular vision anomalies,especially phoria and accommodative insufficiency,positively impact the QOL and academic achievements of university students.
文摘In bridge engineering,monitoring pier offsets is crucial for ensuring both structural safety and construction quality.The total station measurement method using a reflector is widely employed,offering significant advantages in specific scenarios.During measurements,errors are influenced by various factors.Initially,misalignment causes the lateral relative error to increase before decreasing,while longitudinal relative errors fluctuate due to instrument characteristics and operational factors.Lateral movements have a more pronounced impact on these errors.Investigating the positioning layout of pier offsets holds substantial importance as it enables precise displacement monitoring,prevents accidents,aids in maintenance planning,provides valuable references for design and construction,and enhances the pier’s resistance to deflection.Controlling and correcting subsequent errors is essential to ensure the overall safety of the bridge structure.

文摘The fragility and stochastic behavior of quantum sources make it crucial to witness the topology of quantum networks.Most previous theoretical methods are based on perfect assumptions of quantum measurements.In this work,we propose a method to witness network topology under imperfect assumptions of quantum measurements.We show that the discrimination between star and triangle networks depends on the specific error tolerances of local measurements.This extends recent results for witnessing the triangle network[Phys.Rev.Lett.132240801(2024)].

文摘In the machining of high-end optical components,the aerostatic spindle error of an ultra-precision machine tool has a significant impact on the surface quality of the machined surfaces.The surfaces of many high-end optical components need to meet the extremely stringent requirements of the full-frequency band error,which poses significant challenge to the control of the aerostatic spindle error.In this research,we put forward an active control method for the frequency domain error of the aerostatic spindle based on acoustic levitation,in which the acousticmagnetism-fluid-solid multi-field coupling rotor dynamics modeling method of the aerostatic spindle was proposed and the corresponding multi-field coupling model was established.Through the numerical simulation and preliminary experiments,the influence law of acoustic levitation on the frequency domain error of the aerostatic spindle is obtained.The results showed that acoustic levitation can be used to control the frequency domain error of the aerostatic spindle to some extent,which verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘AIM:To compare refractive error and angle of deviation in patients with basic esotropia and basic exotropia.METHODS:A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of patients with basic-type strabismus.Demographic data,refractive error,best-corrected distance visual acuity(BCVA),and the horizontal and vertical angle of deviation between basic esotropia and exotropia patients were compared.RESULTS:Among the 7129 patients(mean age 22.98±14.81y)evaluated,44.7%(3185 cases,54.9%male)exhibited basic-type esotropia,while 55.3%(3944 cases,53.9%male)presented with basic-type exotropia.Basic esotropia cases exhibited more hyperopic spherical equivalent measurements in both eyes(right:0.53±3.07 vs left:0.56±2.98 D)than those with basic exotropia(right eye:-0.33±2.84 vs left eye:-0.24±2.68 D,P<0.001 for both eyes).Patients with basic esotropia had significantly greater horizontal deviation angles(near:36.08±18.87 PD and far:35.56±18.75 PD)compared to those with basic exotropia(near:33.75±16.11 PD and far:33.26±15.90 PD,P<0.001).Conversely,patients with basic exotropia had slightly higher vertical deviation angles(near:1.67±5.80 PD and far:1.72±5.89 PD)compared to those with basic esotropia(near:1.12±4.57 PD and far:1.12±4.58 PD,P<0.001).Patients with basic esotropia underwent surgical intervention at younger ages compared to basic exotropia individuals(19.68±15.99 vs 25.66±13.20,P<0.001).CONCLUSION:Basic esotropia patients present more hyperopic refractive errors,better visual acuity,larger horizontal yet smaller vertical ocular misalignments,and tend to undergo strabismus surgery at younger ages relative to basic exotropia cases.

文摘Gear assembly errors can lead to the increase of vibration and noise of the system,which affect the stability of system.The influence can be compensated by tooth modification.Firstly,an improved three-dimensional loaded tooth contact analysis(3D-LTCA)method which can consider tooth modification and coupling assembly errors is proposed,and mesh stiffness calculated by proposed method is verified by MASTA software.Secondly,based on neural network,the surrogate model(SM)that maps the relationship between modification parameters and mesh mechanical parameters is established,and its accuracy is verified.Finally,SM is introduced to establish an optimization model with the target of minimizing mesh stiffness variations and obtaining more even load distribution on mesh surface.The results show that even considering training time,the efficiency of gear pair optimization by surrogate model is still much higher than that by LTCA method.After optimization,the mesh stiffness fluctuation of gear pair with coupling assembly error is reduced by 34.10%,and difference in average contact stresses between left and right regions of the mesh surface is reduced by 62.84%.

文摘To reduce the spatial simulation error generated by the finite difference method,previous researchers compute the optimal finite-difference weights always by minimizing the error of spatial dispersion relation.However,we prove that the spatial simulation error of the finite difference method is associated with the dot product of the spatial dispersion relation of the finite-difference weights and the spectrum of the seismic wavefield.Based on the dot product relation,we construct a L_(2) norm cost function to minimize spatial simulation error.For solving this optimization problem,the seismic wavefield infor-mation in wavenumber region is necessary.Nevertheless,the seismic wavefield is generally obtained by costly forward modeling techniques.To reduce the computational cost,we substitute the spectrum of the seismic wavelet for the spectrum of the seismic wavefield,as the seismic wavelet plays a key role in determining the seismic wavefield.In solving the optimization problem,we design an exhaustive search method to obtain the solution of the L_(2) norm optimization problem.After solving the optimization problem,we are able to achieve the finite-difference weights that minimize spatial simulation error.In theoretical error analyses,the finite-difference weights from the proposed method can output more accurate simulation results compared to those from previous optimization algorithms.Furthermore,we validate our method through numerical tests with synthetic models,which encompass homogenous/inhomogeneous media as well as isotropic and anisotropic media.

文摘For all-sky infrared radiance assimilation,the heteroscedasticity and non-Gaussian behavior of observation-minusbackground(OMB)departures are two major difficulties.The Geer–Bauer observation error inflation(GBOEI)scheme is a universal way to handle the issues.However,it fails to take into account the consistency between model and observation,resulting in unreasonably large observation errors where the simulations agree with the observations.Thus,this study modifies the GBOEI scheme to rationalize the observation errors in such areas.With Advanced Himawari Imager water vapor channel data,the test results show that the normalized OMB with the new observation error approach leads to more Gaussian form than the GBOEI method and constant observation errors.Hence,the assimilation experiments with the new scheme produce better brightness temperature analysis than other methods,and also improve temperature and humidity analysis.Furthermore,a real case experiment of Typhoon Lekima(2019)with the new observation error scheme exhibits more accuracy,especially in track prediction,and substantial error reductions in wind,temperature,and humidity forecasts are also obtained.Meanwhile,5-day 6-hour cycling experiments in the real case of Typhoon Lekima(2019)with the new observation error scheme confirm that the new method does not introduce extra imbalance compared to the experiment with constant observation errors;plus,more accurate typhoon forecasts can also be obtained in both the analysis and forecast,especially in track prediction.
