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.

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Quantum computing has the potential to solve complex problems that are inefficiently handled by classical computation.However,the high sensitivity of qubits to environmental interference and the high error rates in current quantum devices exceed the error correction thresholds required for effective algorithm execution.Therefore,quantum error correction technology is crucial to achieving reliable quantum computing.In this work,we study a topological surface code with a two-dimensional lattice structure that protects quantum information by introducing redundancy across multiple qubits and using syndrome qubits to detect and correct errors.However,errors can occur not only in data qubits but also in syndrome qubits,and different types of errors may generate the same syndromes,complicating the decoding task and creating a need for more efficient decoding methods.To address this challenge,we used a transformer decoder based on an attention mechanism.By mapping the surface code lattice,the decoder performs a self-attention process on all input syndromes,thereby obtaining a global receptive field.The performance of the decoder was evaluated under a phenomenological error model.Numerical results demonstrate that the decoder achieved a decoding accuracy of 93.8%.Additionally,we obtained decoding thresholds of 5%and 6.05%at maximum code distances of 7 and 9,respectively.These results indicate that the decoder used demonstrates a certain capability in correcting noise errors in surface codes.

文摘This study aimed to identify and compensate for the geometric errors of the double swiveling axes in a five-axis computer numerical control(CNC)machining center.Hence,a three-dimensional coordinate calculation algorithm for a measured point with additional rotational rigid body motion constraints is proposed.The motion constraints of the rotational rigid body were analyzed,and a mathematical model of the measured point algorithm in the swiveling axes was established.The Levenberg-Marquard method was used to solve the nonlinear superstatically determined equations.The spatial coordinate error was used to separate the spatial deviation of the measured point.An identification model of the position-independent and position-dependent geometric errors was established.The three-dimensional coordinate-solving algorithm of the measured point in the swiveling axis and geometric error identification method based on the Monte Carlo method were analyzed numerically.Geometric error measurement and cutting experiments were performed on a VMC25100U five-axis machining center,which integrated two swiveling axes.Geometric errors of the A-and B-axes were identified and measured experimentally.The angular positioning errors before and after compensation were measured using a laser interferometer,which verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.A cutting experiment of a round table part was performed.The shape and position accuracy of the processed part before and after compensation were detected using a coordinate measuring machine.It verified that the geometric error of the swiveling axis was effectively compensated by the algorithm proposed herein.
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Quantum error correction is essential for realizing fault-tolerant quantum computing,where both the efficiency and accuracy of the decoding algorithms play critical roles.In this work,we introduce the implementation of the PLANAR algorithm,a software framework designed for fast and exact decoding of quantum codes with a planar structure.The algorithm first converts the optimal decoding of quantum codes into a partition function computation problem of an Ising spin glass model.Then it utilizes the exact Kac–Ward formula to solve it.In this way,PLANAR offers the exact maximum likelihood decoding in polynomial complexity for quantum codes with a planar structure,including the surface code with independent code-capacity noise and the quantum repetition code with circuit-level noise.Unlike traditional minimumweight decoders such as minimum-weight perfect matching(MWPM),PLANAR achieves theoretically optimal performance while maintaining polynomial-time efficiency.In addition,to demonstrate its capabilities,we exemplify the implementation using the rotated surface code,a commonly used quantum error correction code with a planar structure,and show that PLANAR achieves a threshold of approximately p_(uc)≈0.109 under the depolarizing error model,with a time complexity scaling of O(N^(0.69)),where N is the number of spins in the Ising model.
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.

文摘Vibration-induced bias deviation,which is generated by intensity fluctuations and additional phase differences,is one of the vital errors for fiber optic gyroscopes(FOGs)operating in vibration environment and has severely restricted the applications of high-precision FOGs.The conventional methods for suppressing vibration-induced errors mostly concentrate on reinforcing the mechanical structure and optical path as well as the compensation under some specific operation parameters,which have very limited effects for high-precision FOGs maintaining performances under vibration.In this work,a technique of suppressing the vibration-induced bias deviation through removing the part related to the varying gain from the rotation-rate output is put forward.Particularly,the loop gain is extracted out by adding a gain-monitoring wave.By demodulating the loop gain and the rotation rate simultaneously under distinct frequencies and investigating their quantitative relationship,the vibrationinduced bias error is compensated without limiting the operating parameters or environments,like the applied modulation depth.The experimental results show that the proposed method has achieved the reduction of bias error from about 0.149°/h to0.014°/h during the random vibration with frequencies from20 Hz to 2000 Hz.This technique provides a feasible route for enhancing the performances of high-precision FOGs heading towards high environmental adaptability.
