Study on Characteristics of a High-Precision Cold Gas Micro Thruster

In order to improve the reliability of the spacecraft micro cold gas propulsion system and realize the precise control of the spacecraft attitude and orbit, a micro-thrust, high-precision cold gas thruster is carried out, at the same time due to the design requirements of the spacecraft, this micro-thrust should be continuous working more than 60 minutes, the traditional solenoid valve used for the thrusts can’t complete the mission, so a long-life micro latching valve is developed as the control valve for this micro thruster, because the micro latching valve can keep its position when it cuts off the outage. Firstly, the authors introduced the design scheme and idea of the thruster. Secondly, the performance of the latching valve and the flow characteristics of the nozzle were simulated. Finally, from the experimental results and compared with the numerical study, it shows that the long-life micro cold gas thruster developed in this paper meets the mission requirements.

High-precision automatic measurement of two-dimensional geometric features based on machine vision

To realize high-precision automatic measurement of two-dimensional geometric features on parts, a cooperative measurement system based on machine vision is constructed. Its hardware structure, functional composition and working principle are introduced. The mapping relationship between the feature image coordinates and the measuring space coordinates is established. The method of measuring path planning of small field of view （FOV） images is proposed. With the cooperation of the panoramic image of the object to be measured, the small FOV images with high object plane resolution are acquired automatically. Then, the auxiliary measuring characteristics are constructed and the parameters of the features to be measured are automatically extracted. Experimental results show that the absolute value of relative error is less than 0. 03% when applying the cooperative measurement system to gauge the hole distance of 100 mm nominal size. When the object plane resolving power of the small FOV images is 16 times that of the large FOV image, the measurement accuracy of small FOV images is improved by 14 times compared with the large FOV image. It is suitable for high-precision automatic measurement of two-dimensional complex geometric features distributed on large scale parts.

NEW MODEL OF THEODOLITE INDUSTRIAL MEASURING SYSTEM

Comparing with the coordinates measuring machine (CMM),the theodolite industrial measuring system (TIMS) can be easily moved and it can measure large sized industrial targets contactlessly.But up to now the precision of the TIMS has been considered so low that the TIMS isnt applied to some precise measurements.The error in self locating TIMS is a main factor which affects the precision of the TIMS.A new model of the TIMS is given out in this paper,and it can eliminate the error in self locating the TIMS.The new model is not only investigated and analyzed theoretically but also verified by the real measured data.

Coordinate unification method of high-precision composite measurement in two dimensions

Multi-sensor coordinate unification in dimensional metrology is used in order to get holistic, more accurate and reliable information about a workpiece based on several or multiple measurement values from one or more sensors. Because of the problem that standard ball is deficient as a standard artifact in the coordinate unification of high-precision composite measurement in two dimensions （2D） , a new method is proposed in this paper which uses angle gauge blocks as standard artifacts to achieve coordinate unification between the image sensor and the tactile probe. By comparing the standard ball with the angle gauge block as a standard artifact, theoretical analysis and experimental results are given to prove that it is more precise and more convenient to use angle gauge blocks as standard artifacts to achieve coordinate unification of high-precision composite measurement in two dimensions.

Moho depth inversion in the Tibetan Plateau from high-precision gravity data

The Tibetan Plateau(TP)is the youngest orogenic belt resulting from a continental collision on the Earth.It is a natural laboratory for studying continental dynamics,such as continental convergence,plate subduction,and plateau uplift.Investigating the deep structure of the TP has always been a popular issue in geological research.The Moho is the boundary between the crust and the mantle and therefore plays a crucial role in the Earth’s structure.Parameters such as depth and lateral variation,as well as the fine structure of the crust-mantle interface,reveal the lithospheric dynamics in the TP.Two methods are generally employed to study the Moho surface:seismic detection and gravity inversion.Seismic detection has the characteristic of high precision,but it is limited to a few cross-sectional lines and is quite costly.It is not suitable for and cannot be carried out over a large area of the TP.The Moho depth over a large area can be obtained through gravity inversion,but this method is affected by the nature of gravity data,and the accuracy of the inversion method is lower than that of seismic detection.In this work,a high-precision gravity field model was selected.The Parker-Oldenburg interface inversion method was used,within the constraints of seismic observations,and the Bott iteration method was introduced to enhance the inversion efficiency.The Moho depth in the TP was obtained with high precision,consistent with the seismic detection results.The research results showed that the shape of the Moho in the TP is complex and the variation range is large,reaching 60−80 km.In contrast with the adjacent area,a clear zone of sharp variation appears at the edge of the plateau.In the interior of the TP,the buried depth of the Moho is characterized by two depressions and two uplifts.To the south of the Yarlung Zangbo River,the Moho inclines to the north,and to the north,the Moho depresses downward,which was interpreted as the Indian plate subducting to the north below Tibet.The Moho depression on the north side of the Qiangtang block,reaching 72 km deep,may be a result of the southward subduction of the lithosphere.The Moho uplift of the Qiangtang block has the same strike as the Bangong−Nujiang suture zone,which may indicate that the area is compensated by a low-density and low-velocity mantle.

Research on the principle of space high-precision temperature control system of liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter

The magnetic field is one of the most important parameters in solar physics,and a polarimeter is the key device to measure the solar magnetic field.Liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter is a novel technology,and will be applied for magnetic field measurement in the first space-based solar observatory satellite developed by China,Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory.However,the liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter in space is not a mature technology.Therefore,it is of great scientific significance to study the control method and characteristics of the device.The retardation produced by a liquid crystal variable retarder is sensitive to the temperature,and the retardation changes 0.09°per 0.10℃.The error in polarization measurement caused by this change is 0.016,which affects the accuracy of magnetic field measurement.In order to ensure the stability of its performance,this paper proposes a high-precision temperature control system for liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter in space.In order to optimize the structure design and temperature control system,the temperature field of liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter is analyzed by the finite element method,and the influence of light on the temperature field of the liquid crystal variable retarder is analyzed theoretically.By analyzing the principle of highprecision temperature measurement in space,a high-precision temperature measurement circuit based on integrated operational amplifier,programmable amplifier and 12 bit A/D is designed,and a high-precision space temperature control system is developed by applying the integral separation PI temperature control algorithm and PWM driving heating films.The experimental results show that the effect of temperature control is accurate and stable,whenever the liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter is either in the air or vacuum.The temperature stability is within±0.0150℃,which demonstrates greatly improved stability for the liquid crystals based Stokes polarimeter.

End-to-end learning for high-precision lane keeping via multi-state model

High-precision lane keeping is essential for the future autonomous driving.However,due to the imbalanced and inaccurate datasets collected by human drivers,current end-to-end driving models have poor lane keeping the effect.To improve the precision of lane keeping,this study presents a novel multi-state model-based end-to-end lane keeping method.First,three driving states will be defined:going straight,turning right and turning left.Second,the finite-state machine(FSM)table as well as three kinds of training datasets will be generated based on the three driving states.Instead of collecting the dataset by human drivers,the accurate dataset will be collected by the high-performance path following controller.Third,three sets of parameters based on 3DCNN-LSTM model will be trained for going straight,turning left and turning right,which will be combined with FSM table to form a multi-state model.This study evaluates the multi-state model by testing it on five tracks and recording the lane keeping error.The result shows the multi-state model-based end-to-end method performs the higher precision of lane keeping than the traditional single end-to-end model.

The potential achievements w ill form a technical basis for the future realization of sub-femtosecond time transfer system.

Positioning-control Based on Trapezoidal Velocity Curve for High-precision Basis Weight Control Valve

Traditionally, basis weight control valve is driven by a constant frequency pulse signal. Therefore, it is difficult for the valve to match the control precision of basis weight. Dynamic simulation research using Matlab/Simulink indicates that there is much more overshoot and fluctuating during the valve-positioning process. In order to improve the valve-positioning precision, the control method of trapezoidal velocity curve was studied. The simulation result showed that the positioning steady-state error was less than 0.0056%, whereas the peak error was less than 0.016% by using trapezoidal velocity curve at 10 positioning steps. A valve-positioning precision experimental device for the stepper motor of basis weight control valve was developed. The experiment results showed that the error ratio of 1/10000 positioning steps was 4% by using trapezoidal velocity curve. Furthermore, the error ratio of 10/10000 positioning steps was 0.5%. It proved that the valve-positioning precision of trapezoidal velocity curve was much higher than that of the constant frequency pulse signal control strategy. The new control method of trapezoidal velocity curve can satisfy the precision requirement of 10000 steps.

Hermeneutical Theodolite of Requirements: Evaluating and Revealing the Quality Grades of Software Requirements and of Domain of Application

Throughout the development of software, during Requirements Engineering activities, software requirements dynamically and constantly evolve and mature from an “identified” stage to an “approved” stage. This evolution takes place individually for each requirement, in a very particular way, because it depends on the level of understanding that the requirements engineer reaches in relation to it. How, then, to monitor the evolution of each software requirement? How to know the quality of each software requirement? How to measure the level of understanding and difficulty that the requirements engineer has in relation to each software requirement? This paper aims to present a proposal to answer these questions through the use of an instrument developed specifically to assess and reveal the quality grades of each software requirement and also to assess and reveal that the levels of understanding and of difficulty of the requirements engineer is in relation to each software requirement. This instrument was called the Hermeneutical Theodolite of Requirements, which also can be applied to evaluate that the levels of understanding and of difficulty of the requirements engineer is in relation to the domain of application, essential input artifact and primordial to the specification of the requirements of software.
