Characterization of a double Time-Of-Flight detector system for accurate velocity measurement in a storage ring using laser beams
摘要： The Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful tool for mass measurements of exotic nuclei with half-lives as short as several tens of micro-seconds in storage rings. In order to improve the mass resolving power while preserving the acceptance of the storage ring, the IMS with two Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detectors has been implemented at the storage ring CSRe in Lanzhou, China. Additional velocity information beside the revolution time in the ring can be obtained for each of the stored ions by using the double TOF detector system. In this paper, we introduced a new method of using a 658 nm laser range finder and a short-pulsed ultra-violet laser to directly measure the distance and time delay difference between the two TOF detectors which were installed inside the 10?11 mbar vacuum chambers. The results showed that the distance between the two ultra-thin carbon foils of the two TOF detectors was ranging from 18032.5 mm to 18035.0 mm over a measurable area of 20×20 mm2. Given the measured distance, the time delay difference which comes with signal cable length difference between the two TOF detectors was measured to be ??????????????1?2 = 99(26) ps. The new method has enabled us to use the speed of light in vacuum to calibrate the velocity of stored ions in the ring. The velocity resolution of the current double TOF detector system at CSRe was deduced to be ??(??)∕?? = 4.4 × 10?4 for laser light, mainly limited by the time resolution of the TOF detectors.

Pressure measurement in combusting and non-combusting gases using laser-induced grating spectroscopy
摘要： The measurement of pressure using laser-induced thermal grating spectroscopy, LITGS, with improved accuracy and precision is reported. Pressure values are derived from the record of the time-profile of LITGS signals by fitting of modelled signals to experimental data. The procedure is described for accurate modelling of the LIGS signals involving a sequence of calculation steps with appropriate weighting and calibration to determine the best-fit value of pressure-dependent parameters for averaged and single-shot measurements. Results are reported showing application of this model-fitting method to measurements of pressure in static cells using LITGS generated from NO in mixtures containing N2 at pressures in the range 0.5–5.0 bar with accuracy of 1–3% and single-shot precision of 4–7%. Time-resolved measurements of pressure, using LITGS signals generated in toluene-seeded fuel vapour, during the compression and expansion strokes of a motored optically accessible engine are reported with pressure-dependent accuracy ranging from better than 10 to around 20% over the cycle and single-shot precision in the range 5–15% over the same range. Measurements in the engine under firing conditions were obtained over a limited range and slightly increased uncertainties associated with varying composition resulting from exhaust gas residuals. The method was found to be of limited utility for measurements in high temperature flames at around ambient pressures.

Analysis of Cu doping concentration on PbS thin films for the fabrication of solar cell using feasible nebulizer spray pyrolysis
摘要： This report portrays the analysis of Cu doping concentration (%) on PbS thin films prepared by feasible nebulizer spray technique. The doping percentage of Cu was increased from 0% to 8% in steps of 2%. X-ray diffraction study of the films evinces the nature of the films as polycrystalline with simple cubic crystal structure. The calculated crystallite size was varied from 55 to 41 nm on increasing the Cu doping concentration. SEM/AFM studies proclaim that the cubic shaped grains have covered the entire film surface. The shape of grains was amended with respect to the increase in Cu doping concentration. An elevation in band gap from 1.61 eV to 2.10 eV was spotted for the raise in Cu doping concentration from 0% to 6%. The near band edge emission peak at 575 nm was sensed from PL spectra in which the intensity was enhanced. Hall Effect measurement declared the p-type conductivity nature for the prepared PbS films. Resistivity and carrier-concentration values are 0.73×103 Ωcm and 6.04×1013 cm-3 respectively for 6% Cu doped PbS thin films. Efficiency for the solar cell FTO/n-CdS/p-Cu:PbS structure constructed with 6% Cu doped PbS film is about 0.68%.

Automatic Mapping of Center Line of Railway Tracks using Global Navigation Satellite System, Inertial Measurement Unit and Laser Scanner
摘要： Up-to-date geodatasets on railway infrastructure are valuable resources for the field of transportation. This paper investigates three methods for mapping the center lines of railway tracks using heterogeneous sensor data: (i) conditional selection of satellite navigation (GNSS) data, (ii) a combination of inertial measurements (IMU data) and GNSS data in a Kalman filtering and smoothing framework and (iii) extraction of center lines from laser scanner data. Several combinations of the methods are compared with a focus on mapping in tree-covered areas. The center lines of the railway tracks are extracted by applying these methods to a test dataset collected by a road-rail vehicle. The guard rails in the test area were also extracted during the center line detection process. The combination of methods (i) and (ii) gave the best result for the track on which the measurement vehicle had moved, mapping almost 100% of the track. The combination of methods (ii) and (iii) and the combination of all three methods gave the best result for the other parallel tracks, mapping between 25% and 80%. The mean perpendicular distance of the mapped center lines from the reference data was 1.49 meters.

Effect of Deposition Potential on Synthesis, Structural, Morphological and Photoconductivity Response of Cu2O Thin Films by Electrodeposition Technique
摘要： The present work describes the effect of deposition potentials on structural, morphological, optical, electrical and photoconductivity responses of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin films deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrate by employing electrodeposition technique. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that the deposited films have a cubic structure grown along the preferential (111) growth orientation and crystallinity of the film deposited at ? 0.4 V is improved compared to the films deposited at ? 0.2, ? 0.3 and ? 0.5 V. Scanning electron microscopy displays that surface morphology of Cu2O film has a well-defined three-sided pyramid-shaped grains which are uniformly distributed over the surface of the substrates and are significantly changed as a function of deposition potential. Raman and photoluminescence spectra manifest that the film deposited at ? 0.4 V has a good crystal quality with higher acceptor concentration compared to other films. UV–visible analysis illustrates that the absorption of Cu2O thin film deposited at ? 0.4 V is notably higher compared to other films and the band gap of Cu2O thin films decreases from 2.1 to 2.04 eV with an increase in deposition potential from ? 0.2 to ? 0.5 V. The frequency–temperature dependence of impedance analysis shows that the film deposited at ? 0.4 V has a high conductivity. I–V measurements elucidate that the film deposited at ? 0.4 V exhibits a good photoconductivity response compared to films deposited in other deposition potentials.

Polycrystal Synthesis, Crystal Growth, Structure, and Optical Properties of AgGaGe <sub/><i> <i>n</i> </i> </sub> S <sub/> 2( <i> <i>n</i> </i> +1) </sub> ( <i>n</i> = 2, 3, 4, and 5) Single Crystals for Mid-IR Laser Applications
摘要： AgGaGenS2(n+1) crystal is a series of quaternary for mid-IR laser applications of nonlinear optical materials converting a 1.064 μm pump signal (Nd:YAG laser) to 4?11 μm laser output, but only AgGaGeS4 has attracted the most attention, remaining the other promising AgGaGenS2(n+1) crystal whose physicochemical properties can be modulated by n value. In this work, AgGaGenS2(n+1) (n = 2, 3, 4, and 5) polycrystals are synthesized by vapor transport and mechanical oscillation method with di?erent cooling processes. High-resolution X-ray di?raction analysis and re?nement have revealed that all the four compounds are crystallized in the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Fdd2, resulting in the excellent nonlinear optical property, and the distortion of tetrahedron with the variation of n value causes the discrepancy of physicochemical property. Besides, using the modi?ed Bridgman method, AgGaGenS2(n+1) single crystals with 15 mm diameter and 20?40 mm length have been grown. We have discussed the structure and composition of AgGaGenS2(n+1) by XPS spectra and analyzed the three kinds of vibration modes of tetrahedral clusters by the Raman spectra. The Hall measurement indicates that the AgGaGenS2(n+1) single crystals are p-type semiconductor, and the carrier concentration decreases with the increasing n value. All the transmittances of as-grown AgGaGenS2(n+1) samples exceeds 60% in the transparent range, especially the transmittance of AgGaGe2S6, is up to 70% at 1064 nm, and the band gap of as-grown crystal increases from 2.85 eV for AgGaGe2S6 to 2.92 eV for AgGaGe5S12. After a thermal annealing treatment, the absorptions at 2.9, 4, and 10 μm have been eliminated, and the band gap changed into the range of 2.89?2.96 eV.

Photo-Optical <i>In-Situ</i> Measurement of Drop Size Distributions: Applications in Research and Industry
摘要： The exact knowledge of Drop Size Distributions (DSD) plays a major role in various fields of applications to control and optimise processes as well as reduce waste. In the microbial production of advanced biofuels, oil droplets are produced under turbulent conditions in an aqueous medium containing many surface active components, which might hinder the recovery of the product. Knowledge of DSD is thus essential for process optimisation. This study demonstrates the capability of a photo-optical measurement method for DSD measurement in fermentation broth and in plate separators aimed at cost reduction in the microbial production of advanced biofuels. Measurements were made with model mixtures in a bioreactor, and at the inlet and outlet of a plate separator. In the bioreactor, the method was effective in detecting a broad range of droplet sizes and in differentiating other disperse components (e.g. microbial cells and gas bubbles). In the plate separator, the method was effective in determining the influence of the varied parameters on the separation efficiency.

Automatic signal quality check and equipment condition surveillance based on trivalent logic diagnosis theory
摘要： In the field of fault diagnosis, inadequate signals measured for equipment condition monitoring may cause incorrect diagnostic results and reduce the accuracy and reliability of the equipment diagnosis system. This paper proposes a method of signal quality check and equipment condition surveillance based on trivalent logic theory, signal histogram analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), in order to automatically evaluate the quality of measured signals to ensure that the signals are real and valid for the condition diagnosis of equipment, and automatically judge the equipment state for condition surveillance. The novelty of this paper are summarized as: (1) Trivalent logic has been expanded appropriately into the trivalent logic diagnosis theory, so that it can be applied to verify the signal quality in the acquisition process for fault diagnosis and equipment condition surveillance; (2) In order to directly and effectively extract features of a signal following any probability density distribution, the histograms of the signal measured for equipment condition diagnosis is used to substitute time domain symptom parameters which have been generally used in equipment diagnosis technology; (3) PCA is used to integrate the histograms to realize signal quality check and equipment condition surveillance on the basis of the trivalent logic diagnosis theory. By the method proposed in this paper, the moment when the signal for equipment condition diagnosis is relatively stable can be found, and the unfavorable signal can be avoided for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the equipment condition diagnosis. Simulation signals and real signals measured in various conditions from a blower are respectively used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA) - Rome (2018.6.11-2018.6.13)] 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA) - A Multi-label Architecture for Vision-based Measurement of Intervals of Pain
摘要： Vision-based measurement of pain can provide significant advantage in patient care and cost reduction. The subjective nature of pain, however, poses metrological challenges yet to be addressed. With this work, we designed and validated a measurement architecture for automatically estimating intervals of pain over time based on the analysis of facial expressions. A reference measurement procedure was set up for labelling subjective levels of pain as observed by a set of independent evaluators. By means of a multi-label strategy, the system was calibrated for managing the uncertainty of the information provided by the evaluators at the ground-truth level. Results obtained for different coverage probability values support the efficacy of the proposed platform and motivate further investigations.

Investigation of an in-line fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer based on peanut-shape structure for refractive index sensing
摘要： An in-line fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for refractive index (RI) sensing was proposed, and the interferometer was fabricated by cascading two peanut-shape structures in the single mode fiber using the commercial fusion splicer. A model of the peanut-shape profile was used to calculate the power distribution of the modes in the device. The RI sensing performances of the peanut-shape structure in-line fiber MZIs with two different arm length (30 and 100 mm) were investigated. As the sensor with a short arm length of 30 mm, the RI sensitivity of ?67.355 nm/RIU was achieved for the RI range of 1.33–1.37. As the sensor with a long arm length of 100 mm, the simultaneous RI and temperature measurement was realized to eliminate the temperature and RI cross sensitivity, and the highest RI and temperature sensitivities of ?67.953 nm/RIU and 0.073 nm/?C were obtained, respectively.
