The temperature at the measuring point is converted into corresponding voltage signal by the thermo-couple first. Then after the V/F stage, the voltage signal is converted into the frequency signal to drive the infrared light-emitting diode to transmit infrared pulses. At the receiver end, a photosensitive audion receives the infrared pulses. After conversion, the voltage recorded by the receiver stands for the magnitude of temperature at the measuring point. Test results of the system indicate that the system is practical and the system can perform multipoint looping temperature measurements for the piston.展开更多

The measure method takes advantage of the position detecting technique based on digital image processing. A bright spot is pegged on the object to be measured and imaged to the target of CCD camera through a telescopic lens. The CCD target converts the optical signal to equivalent electric signal. The video frequency signal is digitized to an array of 512×512 pixels by the analog to digital converter (ADC), then transmitted to the computer. The computer controls the data acquisition, conducts image processing and detects the location of the target spot. Comparing the current position with the original position of the spot, the displacement of object is obtained. With the aid of analysis software, the system can achieve the resolution of 0 01 mm in the 6 m distance from the object to the point of observation. To meet the need of practice, the measuring distance can be extended to 100 m or even farther.展开更多

文摘AIM:To evaluate the differences and consistency of vault measurements obtained by Scheimpflug tomography(Pentacam),anterior segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT,CASIA II),and ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)following implantable collamer lens(ICL)V4c implantation.METHODS:Vault measurements were acquired using three modalities:Pentacam,CASIA II AS-OCT,and UBM.Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to compare the vault values obtained by the three devices.The correlation and consistency of measurements among the three instruments were assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient,intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC),and Bland-Altman plots.RESULTS:This retrospective study enrolled 210 myopic eyes of 210 patients(158 women and 52 men)who underwent ICL implantation:108 eyes had a myopic ICL V4c implanted,and 102 eyes had a toric ICL V4c implanted.The mean vault values measured by Pentacam,CASIA II,and UBM were 452.64±204.20μm,538.57±203.54μm,and 560.95±227.54μm,respectively,with statistically significant differences among the three groups(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed strong positive correlations between vault values measured by different instruments(all P<0.001).ICC results indicated good consistency among the three measurement modalities(all P<0.001).Stratified analysis revealed that when the vault value was≤250μm,the correlation and consistency of measurements across the three instruments were lower than those in the medium and high vault subgroups.CONCLUSION:Vault values measured by Pentacam are lower than those obtained by CASIA II and UBM,with UBM yielding the highest mean vault values.Measurements from the three instruments are not interchangeable but can serve as mutual references due to their significant correlation and good overall consistency.Pentacam and CASIA II demonstrate the highest consistency in vault measurement.Notably,when the vault value is≤250μm,the consistency between Pentacam and the other two instruments decreases significantly.

文摘Single-cell biomechanics and electrophysiology measuring tools have transformed biological research over the last few decades,which enabling a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of cellular behavior and function.Despite their high-quality information content,these single-cell measuring techniques suffer from laborious manual processing by highly skilled workers and extremely low throughput(tens of cells per day).Recently,numerous researchers have automated the measurement of cell mechanical and electrical signals through robotic localization and control processes.While these efforts have demonstrated promising progress,critical challenges persist,including human dependency,learning complexity,in-situ measurement,and multidimensional signal acquisition.To identify key limitations and highlight emerging opportunities for innovation,in this review,we comprehensively summarize the key steps of robotic technologies in single-cell biomechanics and electrophysiology.We also discussed the prospects and challenges of robotics and automation in biological research.By bridging gaps between engineering,biology,and data science,this work aims to stimulate interdisciplinary research and accelerate the translation of robotic single-cell technologies into practical applications in the life sciences and medical fields.

文摘Accurate temperature measurement is a crucial step in predicting and managing the aerodynamic heating during Mars entry and Earth reentry.These processes often occur at extremely high temperatures and pose challenges for quantitative measurements.A 1-μs time-resolved laser absorption technique was developed for simultaneous and time-dependent temperature and CO-concentration measurements over 3000-6000 K by adopting the P(0,21)and P(2,15)lines.To achieve quantitative measurement,the line strengths and Ar-broadening parameters were calibrated within 3030-5980 K.A“W”-shaped path-amplified strategy was used to increase the absorption features of the two lines during the calibration process.Validation experiments were conducted at 3040-5970 K to verify the accuracy of the technique.The new technique was then applied for simultaneous and time-resolved temperature and CO-concentration measurements during the CO_(2)dissociation process to further demonstrate the feasibility of the developed technique.The temperature-dependent CO_(2)absorption cross-sections at line centers of the two lines were calibrated within 2040-5870 K.The CO_(2)absorption interferences were quantified and subtracted from the measured laser absorbances.The measured results(referring to temperature and CO concentration)were generally consistent with the predictions from the kinetics mechanisms in the literature,highlighting the applicability of the developed technique for temperature measurements and CO_(2)dissociation studies within the investigated temperature range.
文摘Characterized by high accuracy and operational simplicity,oil-film interferometry(OFI)has served as an effective wall-shear stress(WSS)measurement technique over the past decades.It utilizes the monochromatic light interference principle to measure the temporal variation of oil-film thickness caused by WSS,and calculates time-averaged WSS based on the variation of interference fringe width.However,small-scale noise,which is caused by defects on the target surface,ambient dust,and local oil-film non-uniformity,contaminates the interference fringe patterns and directly increases the measurement uncertainty.One practical way is to apply denoising methods to improve the accuracy of identifying the centroids of fringes.In the present study,quasi-bivariate variational mode decomposition(QBVMD)is proposed as a self-adaptive denoising method to remove small-scale noise.Since no characteristic information of fringe patterns is required in the QBVMD-based denoising method,it has higher accuracy and lower uncertainty than the conventional OFI denoising methods,which need to pre-set the mask signal or the bandpass frequency,i.e.,cross-correlation or spectral filtering.Thus,it facilitates the automatic identification of time-varying inhomogeneous fringes.Two sets of experiments,i.e.,WSS measurement on either a canonical flat-plate turbulent boundary layer(TBL)or a TBL perturbed by micro vortex generators(MVG),were conducted to validate the applicability of this QBVMD-OFI method.The former experiment shows that the accuracy of QBVMD-OFI is equivalent to near-wall high-resolution particle image velocimetry,and is considerably higher than that of a dual hot-film sensor.As for the latter,QBVMD-OFI provides sufficient spatial resolution to resolve fine WSS structures generated by MVG.
文摘[Significance]In alignment with the national germplasm security strategy,current research efforts are accelerating the adoption of precision breeding in sheep.Within the whole-genome selection,accurate phenotyping of body morphometrics is critical for assessing growth performance and breeding value.Traditional manual measurements are inefficient,prone to human error,and may cause stress to sheep,limiting their suitability for precision sheep management.By summarizing the applications of sheep body size measurement technologies and analyzing their development directions,this paper provides theoretical references and practical guidance for the research and application of non contact sheep body size measurement.[Progress]This review synthesizes progress across three principal methodological paradigms:two-dimensional(2D)image-based techniques,three-dimensional(3D)point cloud-based approaches,and integrated 2D-3D fusion systems.2D methods,employing either handcrafted geometric features or deep learning-based keypoint detector algorithms,are cost-effective and operationally simple but sensitive to variation in imaging conditions and unable to capture critical circumference metrics.3D point-cloud approaches enable precise reconstruction of full animal morphology,supporting comprehensive body-size acquisition with higher accuracy,yet face challenges including high hardware costs,complex data workflows,and sensitivity to posture variability.Hybrid 2D-3D fusion systems combine semantic richness from RGB imagery with geometric completeness from point clouds.Having been effectively validated in other livestock specise,e.g.,cattle and pigs,these fusion systems have demonstrated excellent performance,providing important technical references and practical insights for sheep body size measurement.[Conclusions and Prospects]Firstly,future research should focus on constructing large-scale,high-quality datasets for sheep body size measurement that encompass diverse breeds,growth stages,and environmental conditions,thereby enhancing model robustness and generalization.Secondly,the development of lightweight artificial intelligence models is essential.Techniques such as model compression,quantization,and algorithmic optimization can substantially reduce computational complexity and storage requirements,facilitating deployment in resource-constrained environments.Thirdly,the 3D point cloud processing pipeline should be streamlined to improve the efficiency of data acquisition,filtering,registration,and segmentation,while promoting the integration of low-cost,high-resilience vision systems into practical farming scenarios.Fourthly,specific emphasis should be placed on improving the accuracy of curved-dimensional measurements,such as chest circumference,abdominal circumference,and shank circumference,through advances in pose standardization,refined 3D segmentation strategies,and multimodal data fusion.Finally,the cross-fertilization of sheep body size measurement technologies with analogous methods for other livestock species offers a promising pathway for mutual learning and collaborative innovation,accelerating the industrialization of automated sheep morphometric systems and supporting the development of intelligent,data-driven pasture management practices.

文摘Rapid technological advancements drive miniaturization and high energy density in devices,thereby increasing nanoscale thermal management demands and urging development of higher spatial resolution technologies for thermal imaging and transport research.Here,we introduce an approach to measure nanoscale thermal resistance using in situ inelastic scanning transmission electron microscopy.By constructing unidirectional heating flux with controlled temperature gradients and analyzing electron energy-loss/gain signals under optimized acquisition conditions,nanometer-resolution in mapping phonon apparent temperature is achieved.Thus,interfacial thermal resistance is determined by calculating the ratio of interfacial temperature difference to bulk temperature gradient.This methodology enables direct measurement of thermal transport properties for atomic-scale structural features(e.g.,defects and heterointerfaces),resolving critical structure-performance relationships,providing a useful tool for investigating thermal phenomena at the(sub-)nanoscale.

文摘As one of the major volatile components in extraterrestrial materials,nitrogen(N_(2))isotopes serve not only as tracers for the formation and evolution of the solar system,but also play a critical role in assessing planetary habitability and the search for extraterrestrial life.The integrated measurement of N_(2)and argon(Ar)isotopes by using noble gas mass spectrometry represents a state-of-the-art technique for such investigations.To support the growing demands of planetary science research in China,we have developed a high-efficiency,high-precision method for the integrated analysis of N_(2)and Ar isotopes.This was achieved by enhancing gas extraction and purification systems and integrating them with a static noble gas mass spectrometer.This method enables integrated N_(2)-Ar isotope measurements on submilligram samples,significantly improving sample utilization and reducing the impact of sample heterogeneity on volatile analysis.The system integrates CO_(2)laser heating,a modular two-stage Zr-Al getter pump,and a CuO furnace-based purification process,effectively reducing background levels(N_(2)blank as low as 0.35×10^(−6)cubic centimeters at standard temperature and pressure[ccSTP]).Analytical precision is ensured through calibration with atmospheric air and CO corrections.To validate the reliability of the method,we performed N_(2)-Ar isotope analyses on the Allende carbonaceous chondrite,one of the most extensively studied meteorites internationally.The measured N_(2)concentrations range from 19.2 to 29.8 ppm,withδ15N values between−44.8‰and−33.0‰.Concentrations of 40Ar,36Ar,and 38Ar are(12.5-21.1)×10^(−6)ccSTP/g,(90.9-150.3)×10^(−9)ccSTP/g,and(19.2-30.7)×10^(−9)ccSTP/g,respectively.These values correspond to cosmic-ray exposure ages of 4.5-5.7 Ma,consistent with previous reports.Step-heating experiments further reveal distinct release patterns of N and Ar isotopes,as well as their associations with specific mineral phases in the meteorite.In summary,the combined N_(2)-Ar isotopic system offers significant advantages for tracing volatile sources in extraterrestrial materials and will provide essential analytical support for upcoming Chinese planetary missions,such as Tianwen-2.

文摘In dry-coupled ultrasonic thickness measurement,thick rubber layers introduce high-amplitude parasitic echoes that obscure defect signals and degrade thickness accuracy.Existing methods struggle to resolve overlap-ping echoes under variable coupling conditions and non-stationary noise.This study proposes a novel dual-criterion framework integrating energy contribution and statistical impulsivity metrics to isolate specimen re-flections from coupling-layer interference.By decomposing A-scan signals into Intrinsic Mode Functions(IMFs),the framework employs energy contribution thresholds(>85%)and kurtosis indices(>3)to autonomously select IMFs containing valid specimen echoes.Hybrid time-frequency thresholding further suppresses interference through amplitude filtering and spectral focusing.Experimental results demonstrate the framework’s robustness,achieving 92.3%thickness accuracy for 5 mm steel specimens with 5 mm rubber coupling,outperforming conventional methods by up to 18.7%.The dual-criterion approach reduces operator dependency by 37%and maintainsΔT<0.03 mm under surface roughness up to 6.3μm,offering a practical solution for industrial nondestructive testing with thick dry-coupled interfaces.

文摘A new multi-detector array named HALIMA(Hybrid Array for LIfetime MeAsurement)has been developed at Lanzhou for nuclear structure studies in fission.The array comprises eight BGO-shielded High-Purity Germanium detectors and twenty fast Ce-doped Lanthanum Bromide[LaBr_(3)(Ce)]detectors shielded with CsI(Tl).HALIMA is further complemented by two ancillary detector systems:fission fragment(FF)detectors and β detectors.This configuration enables precise sub-nanosecond lifetime measurements using the fourfold FF/β-Ge-LaBr_(3)(Ce)-LaBr_(3)(Ce)coincidence technique.The performance and specifications of the detectors,associated electronics,and the data acquisition system are presented in detail.The advantage of FF selectivity is emphasized,which significantly enhances sensitivity to specific fission channels.Using this approach,the lifetimes of the nuclear excited states populated in the spontaneous fission of^(252)Cf were measured,showing good agreement with the established literature values.
文摘The goal of the present work is to demonstrate the potential of Artificial Neural Network(ANN)-driven Genetic Algorithm(GA)methods for energy efficiency and economic performance optimization of energy efficiency measures in a multi-family house building in Greece.The energy efficiency measures include different heating/cooling systems(such as low-temperature and high-temperature heat pumps,natural gas boilers,split units),building envelope components for floor,walls,roof and windows of variable heat transfer coefficients,the installation of solar thermal collectors and PVs.The calculations of the building loads and investment and operating and maintenance costs of the measures are based on the methodology defined in Directive 2010/31/EU,while economic assumptions are based on EN 15459-1 standard.Typically,multi-objective optimization of energy efficiency measures often requires the simulation of very large numbers of cases involving numerous possible combinations,resulting in intense computational load.The results of the study indicate that ANN-driven GA methods can be used as an alternative,valuable tool for reliably predicting the optimal measures which minimize primary energy consumption and life cycle cost of the building with greatly reduced computational requirements.Through GA methods,the computational time needed for obtaining the optimal solutions is reduced by 96.4%-96.8%.
文摘A high precision, high antijamming multipoint infrared telemetry system was developed to measure the piston temperature in internal combustion engine. The temperature at the measuring point is converted into corresponding voltage signal by the thermo-couple first. Then after the V/F stage, the voltage signal is converted into the frequency signal to drive the infrared light-emitting diode to transmit infrared pulses. At the receiver end, a photosensitive audion receives the infrared pulses. After conversion, the voltage recorded by the receiver stands for the magnitude of temperature at the measuring point. Test results of the system indicate that the system is practical and the system can perform multipoint looping temperature measurements for the piston.

文摘By using principal component analysis,this paper had modified and put forward a theoretical model of evaluation on tourist satisfaction degree with tourist perception quality and tourist satisfaction degree as structure variables and with thirty indexes like image of tourist area,tourists' expectation,infrastructure in tourist area,landscape features and ticket price as observed variables,based on random questionnaire survey of tourists of Zhenyuan ancient city in Guizhou Province and the existing evaluation models of tourist satisfaction degree at home and abroad.The survey result showed that tourist satisfaction degree was not high,that tourists were dissatisfied with observing facilities,transportation,accommodation and landscape features,and that the attraction power of tourist area was weak.The comprehensive tourist satisfaction degree of Zhenyuan ancient city was 77.653.Therefore,the government should enhance reconstruction of infrastructure and construction of landscape features,and improve tourist service quality level,so as to realize sustainable development of tourist economy in Zhenyuan ancient city.
文摘A CCD position detecting system measuring the displacement and deformation of structure is presented. The measure method takes advantage of the position detecting technique based on digital image processing. A bright spot is pegged on the object to be measured and imaged to the target of CCD camera through a telescopic lens. The CCD target converts the optical signal to equivalent electric signal. The video frequency signal is digitized to an array of 512×512 pixels by the analog to digital converter (ADC), then transmitted to the computer. The computer controls the data acquisition, conducts image processing and detects the location of the target spot. Comparing the current position with the original position of the spot, the displacement of object is obtained. With the aid of analysis software, the system can achieve the resolution of 0 01 mm in the 6 m distance from the object to the point of observation. To meet the need of practice, the measuring distance can be extended to 100 m or even farther.
