  • The paper describes estimation errors of unsteady flowrate measurements due to parameter changes in a quasi-remote instantaneous flowrate measurement method (abbreviate as QIFM) and an instantaneous flowrate measurement method using two points pressure measurements (abbreviate as TPFM). By introducing error performance index, the influence of parameter changes on the accuracy, and dynamic response of the estimated unsteady flowrate are evaluated. Of four parameters, the variation of the length of the pipeline and speed of sound produce large errors in the estimated unsteady flowrate during transient periods. The effect of kinematic viscosity of the working fluid(oil) is relatively insensitive in unsteady flowrate estimation.

  • $CO_2$ concentration profile was measured to investigate whether $CO_2$ concentration at one level (i.e., eddy covariance measurement level) can be used to estimate storage term without significant uncertainty at broadleaf deciduous forest at Kwangneung experiment forest in Korea. Based on t-test with significance level of 5%, there was no statistical difference between storage term from one-level $CO_2$ concentration and one from $CO_2$ profile measurement. Storage term constitutes on average 5% of half hourly net ecosystem exchange (NEE) even at unstable stability (i.e., well mixed condition), indicating that storage term should be considered even at daytime, which is sometimes neglected.

  • The magnetic field standards, facilities and capabilities available at NPL for the calibration of magnetometers and gradiometers and the measurement of the magnetic properties of materials will be introduced. The details of the low magnetic field facility will be explained and the capabilities this facility enables for the characterisation and calibration of ultra-sensitive room temperature magnetic sensors will be presented. Building on core material capabilities that are compliant with the IEC 60404 series of written standards, the example of a standard permeameter that has been modified for the measurement of strips for real world conditions is discussed. This was incorporated into a stress machine to measure the DC properties of the soft magnetic materials used by the partners of a collaborative industry led R&D project at stress levels of up to 700 MPa. The results for three materials are presented and the changes in the properties with applied stress compared to establish which material exhibits favourable properties.

  • Automatic and manual rain smaplers wre installed at the roof of National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER), and the rain sampling and measurement were conducted during the period April to August 31, 1987. The rain sampling and measurement were carried out in the following manners: The 1st : Acidity and conductivity were measured entirely by automatic rain sampler (continuous measurement) The 2nd : Acidity and conductivity wrer measured in the laboratory with the sample that was taken out of automatic rain sampler. The 3rd : Acidity and conductivity were measured in the laboratory with the sample that was taken out of manual rain sampler. Afterwards, those different measurement values were compared each other and the following conclusions were obtained: 1) The pH of the continous measurement by the automatic sampler was lower than that of the laboratory measurement, and it was reversed in case of the conductivity. 2) The significance was recognized at 5% risk ratio for the population mean of difference of the measurement values of the pH and conductivity from both samples. 3) The significance was not recognized at 5% risk ratio by the analysis of variance by one way layout for the pH and conductivity. 4) The significance was recognized at 5% risk ratio by the analysis of variance by two way layouts for the pH conductivity. 5) The significance was recognized at 5% rrisk ratio for the differences of the pH values obtained by oboth samplers, and no significance was recognized for conductivity. 6) In comparison of the measurement values from the two samplers were shown a good correlation for pH; correlation coefficient (r) = 0.63, and regression equation Y = 0.53X + 2.78. For conductivity, the correlation was also excellent; correlation coefficient (r) = 0.53 and regression equation Y = 0.63X + 5.65.

  • The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is an effective means to track multiple targets in that it avoids explicit data associations between the measurements and targets. However, the target birth intensity as a prior is assumed to be known before tracking in a traditional target-tracking algorithm; otherwise, the performance of a conventional PHD filter will decline sharply. Aiming at this problem, a novel target birth intensity scheme and an improved measurement-driven scheme are incorporated into the PHD filter. The target birth intensity estimation scheme, composed of both PHD pre-filter technology and a target velocity extent method, is introduced to recursively estimate the target birth intensity by using the latest measurements at each time step. Second, based on the improved measurement-driven scheme, the measurement set at each time step is divided into the survival target measurement set, birth target measurement set, and clutter set, and meanwhile, the survival and birth target measurement sets are used to update the survival and birth targets, respectively. Lastly, a Gaussian mixture implementation of the PHD filter is presented under a linear Gaussian model assumption. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve a better performance in tracking systems with an unknown newborn target intensity.

  • This research develops a GPS-based formation-flying testbed (FFTB) for formation navigation and control. The FFTB is a simulator in which spacecraft simulation and modeling software and loop test capabilities are integrated for test and evaluation of spacecraft navigation and formation control technologies. The FFTB is composed of a GPS measurement simulation computer, flight computer, environmental computer for providing true environment data and 3D visualization computer. The testbed can be simulated with one to two spacecraft, thus enabling a variety of navigation and control algorithms to be evaluated. In a formation flying simulation, GPS measurement are generated by a GPS measurement simulator to produce pseudorange, carrier phase measurements, which are collected and exchanged by the flight processors and subsequently processed in a navigation filter to generate relative and/or absolute state estimates. These state estimates are the fed into control algorithm, which are used to generate maneuvers required to maintain the formation. In this manner, the flight processor also serves as a test platform for candidate formation control algorithm. Such maneuvers are fed back through the controller and applied to the modeled truth trajectories to close simulation loop. Currently, The FFTB has a closed-loop capability of simulating a satellite navigation solution using software based GPS measurement, we move forward to improve using SPIRENT GPS RF signal simulator and space-based GPS receiver

  • We described an estimation of measurement uncertainty in quantitative analysis of 11-nor-9-carboxy-${\Delta}^9$-tetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH), the major metabolite of ${\Delta}^9$-tetrahydrocannabinol, in urine sample by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and GC/MS detection. The analytical results were compared and the different contributions to the uncertainty were evaluated. Inter-day and inter-person validation were performed using statistical analysis of several indicative factors. Measurement uncertainty associated with target analyte in real forensic samples was estimated using quality control (QC) data. Traceability of measurement was established through traceable standards, calibrated volumetric glassware and volume measuring device. The major factors of contribution to combined standard uncertainty, were calibration linearity, inter-day repeatability and inter-person reproducibility, while those associated with preparation of analytical standards and sampling volume were not so important considering the degree of contribution. Relative combined standard uncertainties associated with the described method was 12.05% for THCCOOH.
