We investigate the ultrasonic gas flow meter for the measurement of gas volume quantity, which passing through pipe, using the transit time difference method. We have designed a receiving system of an ultrasonic signal and hardware system of a flow meter Also, we have designed an experimental system for the characteristic test and calibration of a gas flow meter system. We have developed an ultrasonic gas flow meter, which has a measurement uncertainty within $\pm$ 1.7 %. For the test, we have compared our system with a difference pressure type flow meter for a few months in the real field. Through the test, we have confirmed that our system have a good reliability and durability. Also, we have confirmed that our system follows very well the variation of gas volume quantity, which was measured by a difference pressure type flow meter.

To improve the reliability of hardness test results, Rockwell hardness round robin test was carried out for 10 laboratories. The test condition was the same with the ISO(International Standards Organization) standards. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science(KRISS) supplied the hardness standard blocks and an indenter to laboratories for the measurement. The participating laboratories measured hardness of the specified areas on the blocks for 6 times with their own indenter as well as common indenter, respectively, and reported the results to KRISS. The result showed that quite large amount of the differences came from the indenter and it is necessary to change indenter with better quality for improved reliability in hardness measurement.

We present a display-based visual stimulator for psychophysical and electrophysiological visual sensitivity measurements. The stimulator offers various psychophysical visual stimuli and transfers the signals from external devices along with the stimulation signals to an electrophysiological recorder. As an experimental demonstration, we perform a visual sensitivity experiment in the mesopic vision range by using the display-based stimulator. The intensity of the steady-state visual evoked potential is observed to correlate with the luminance of the flickering visual stimulation. For the psychophysically determined detection thresholds, we determine the mesopic luminance, showing agreement with the perceived brightness within the uncertainty of the luminance measurement.

Coercivity is defined as the magnetic field strength required to reduce the magnetic polarization to zero of magnetic specimen which has been previously magnetized to saturation. This quantity is a reference for classifying soft and hard magnetic materials. We have constructed the measuring system for measurement of coercivity of ferromagnetic materials in open magnetic circuit. The measurement range of the constructed system is from tens A/m to tens kA/m, the combined uncertainty is ${\pm}$0.22 kA/m as coercivity is 14.63 kA/m.

Generally, the optical components are fabricated by grinding, lapping, and polishing. And, those processes take long time to obtain such a high surface quality. Therefore, in the case of large optical component, the on-machine inspection (OMI) is essential. Because, the work piece is fragile and difficult to set up for fabricating and measuring. This paper is concerned about a swing-arm method for measuring surface profile of large optical concave mirror. The measuring accuracy and uncertainty for suggested method are studied. The experimental results show that this method is useful specially in lapping process with the accuracy of $3\~5\;{\mu}m$. Those inspection data are provided for correcting the residual figuring error in lapping or polishing processes.

Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouple sensors are broadly used to measure temperatures in the engineering and research fields. The contents of this standard calibration procedure (SCP) describe procedures related to the calculation of an electrical temperature calibrator and show different ways to indicate the calibration results, such as measurement uncertainty. As an SCP for the electrical temperature calibrator has not been developed yet, we studied the SCP and found a solution to this problem. In this paper, we present a mathematical model of the data and measurement variations with the calibration data results.

This paper analyzes the Monte Carlo localization (MCL) method, which estimates the pose of an indoor mobile robot. A mobile robot must know where it is to navigate in an indoor environment. The MCL technique is one of the most influential and popular techniques for estimation of robot position and orientation using a particle filter. For the analysis, we perform experiments in an indoor environment with a differential drive robot and ultrasonic range sensor system. The analysis uses MATLAB for implementation of the MCL and investigates the effects of the control parameters on the MCL performance. The control parameters are the uncertainty of the motion model of the mobile robot and the noise level of the measurement model of the range sensor.

Both ratio error and phase angle error in current transformer(CT) depend critically on values of CT burden. Thus, precise measurement of CT burden is very important for the evaluation of CT. A method for the measurement of CT burden has been developed by employing the portable shunt precise resistor with negligible AC-DC resistance difference less than $10^{-5}$. The burden value(value and power factor) can be calculated from resistance and reactance obtained by measuring the change of ratio error and phase angle error caused by the change of shunt resistor. The uncertainty for the method is evaluated and found to be abut 2 %.

A high precision transformer bridge system for comparison of primary capacitance standards at low frequencies was developed. Its main transformer was constructed by special winding techniques and has the inphase and quadrature error of $0.073{\times}10^{-6}$ and $0.14{\times}10^{-6}$ at 1592 Hz($\omega=10^4$) respectively. But the measurement uncertainty of this bridge system can be achieved $0.03{\times}10^{-6}$ by using some substitution method.
