Application of Total Least Square Algorithm in Static Decoupling of NGMIMU

The linear coupling of Non-gyro Micro Inertial Measurement Unit (NGMIMU) is akind of system error that affects the accuracy of measurement seriously. In this article, theauthor puts forward a new linear decoupling algorithm which simultaneously considers the error ofstandard input signal and output of accelerators when the coupling parameters are calculated. TheTotal Least Square (TLS) solutions of coupling parameters own the minimum characteristic to theinput and output values. Then these parameters are used to reconstruct the outputs of acceleratorsso as to realize the decoupling. The emulation result show that the ratio of decoupling error isless than 8 percent and verify the feasibility of this algorithm.

Microminiature Inertial Measurement System and Its Applications

The microminiature inertial measurement system, a new style of inertial measurement system, has many advantages compared with traditional systems, such as small size, low mass, low cost, low power consumption, high bearing capacity, and long life. Undoubtedly, it will have wide applications in military and commercial fields. However, current micro inertial sensors do not have sufficient accuracy, so, its applications are limited to some extent. This paper describes a microminiature inertial measurement system and its design, operating theory and error control techniques. In addition, its performance and applications are evaluated.

Multisensor fusion for an experimental airship based on strong tracking filter

To improve the independent ability of attitude determination and positioning for an unmanned experimental airship platform, a micro inertial measurement system (MIMS) is expected to integrate with the existing system, which incorporates a digital magnetic compass and a differential pseudorange GPS receiver. The navigation error of the low-precision MIMS will be calibrated using nondrift DGPS receiver and magnetic compass. This paper proposes an adaptive strong tracking filter to perform multisensor fusion to assure state-error estimation of convergence under some uncertain conditions. These uncertainties include model simplification, unknown microsensor stochastic characteristics, a large-scale initial filtering parameter variation, and state sudden change. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the filter has strong robustness to all the uncertainties mentioned above. By this filtering approach, the navigation errors of MIMS are limited to a certain range. Accordingly, the whole integrated measurement system will respond to dynamics, and its automotive navigation ability is also enhanced.

Karyotype Analysis of the Fiddleneck （Phacelia tanacetifofia Benth.）

Two varieties of fiddleneck （Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth.） plant were determined for visualizing somatic chromosomes. The 4-5 days old root tips were pre-treated in 6% a-monobromonaphtalane in ＋4 ℃ for 7.5 h, then fixed in glacial acetic acid for 30 min and transferred to 70% ethanol for long storage. When the root tips were analyzed, they were hydrolyzed with 1 N HCI for 13 min at room temperature （25 ℃）. After hydrolyzing, root tips were stained with 2% aceto orcein in darkness for 2.5 h. The squash method for preparation was used for chromosomal investigations. The chromosome length （C）, relative length （RL）, the long arm （L） and short arm （S） lengths, arm ratio （AR; L/S） and centromefic index （S/C） were calculated for caryologic parameters. The ideograms and detailed chromosome morphology measurements of the species were performed by the use of MicroMeasure 3.3. According to results, fiddleneck （Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth.） has 2n = 22 chromosomes and the karyotype formulas of two varieties of fiddleneck were 16 median and 6 submedian （16 m ＋ 6 sm）.

Fluid-solid drag models selection for simulating wheat straw particle movement in anaerobic digester

Computational fluid dynamics(CFD)has been utilized to simulate the movements of wheat straw particles for agitator speed selection in full-scale wet digestion.Previous research has found that the current drag model generally used for depicting the motion of spherical particles cannot match the movement behavior of wheat straw particles with their non-spherical shape.In this study,the sedimentation experiment and horizontal flow experiment of straw particles were determined using a V20-3D camera and a micro Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV)system.With analyses of the experimental data and CFD simulation results,the prediction accuracies of the non-spherical drag models of Hölzer and Sommerfeld(HS),Kishore and Gu(KG),Haider and Levenspiel(HL),Richter and Nikrityuk(RN),and Fabio Dioguardi(FD)were evaluated by the motion of individual straw particles.The results showed that the KG model has a significant advantage over the other drag models,both simulating the particle settling velocities in a one dimensional settling experiment and simulating the predictable trajectory in a two-dimensional horizontal flow experiment.Therefore,the KG drag model was selected to simulate with CFD the wheat straw particle movement to select agitator speeds.Additionally,the realizable k-turbulence model was proven to be superior to the other turbulence models for simulating the continuous phase flow with CFD.
