This technology provides a way to diagnose directly into the deep intestinal where the traditional invasive technology implemented, such as X-Ray, endoscopy. It is a key for us to locate and track the position of a MEMS capsule in clinical applications. To solve this problem, we implemented a magnetic sensor module based on the scalar form of the magnetic dipole model,which was designed with very small size (5.2 * 2. 1 * 1.2 em) and easy to assemble to satisfy the system requirement. Here we discuss in detail the principle of magnetic dipole model, rules of selecting sensor and functions of the module. Some trials are established to test the characteristic of the module. The results of the Cm experiment demonstrates that the module follows the rules of the new magnetic dipole model form.展开更多

The following proposed method reduces the level of instrumental stability required for the analysis process and provides a valid solution for high-precision and accurate studies of Si isotopic compositions. Rock samples were dissolved by using alkali fusion and acidification. Silicon isotopes were purified with an ion exchange resin. Interfering peaks for isotopes were separated by using a Nu Plasma 1700 multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MS) system in high-resolution mode (M/AM 〉 8000 RP). Two magnesium isotopes (25Mg and 26Mg) and three silicon isotopes (28Si, 29Si, and 3;Si) were analyzed in the same data collection cycle. Mg isotopes were used as an internal standard to calibrate the mass discrimination effects in MS analysis of Si isotopes in combination with the SSB method in order to reduce the effects of MS interference and instrumental mass dis- crimination on the accuracy of measurements. The conventional SSB method without the Mg internal standard and the proposed SSB method with Mg calibration delivered consistent results within two standard deviations. When Mg was used as an internal standard for calibration, the analysis precision was better than 0.05 %0 amu.展开更多

Researches in this area home and abroad also made great progress. On the one hand due to improved high-resolution portable ultrasound instrument and probe technology, ultrasound changed from a purely clinical diagnostic into the operating room; on the other hand, with the traditional method of anesthesia increasingly unable to meet the clinical requirements, it is an objective need of technological innovation for clinical anesthesia. And ultrasound has non-invasive, real-time, visible and repeatable characteristics which are able to provide accurate data and rich means for preoperative assessment, intraoperative monitoring and treatment of pain in pre-clinical anesthesia展开更多

Food production and processing of quality food and safe food are today of primary importance. Food production is based on the principles of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), Good Manufactoring Practice (GMP) and Good Hygiene Practice (GHP). Recently, the industrial food processing is focused dominantly on the quality, and one of the basic requirements of the quality is the safety. There are different methods and techniques to produce safe food. The up-to-date food technologies and quality measurements (quality control and quality assurance) involve the application of different physical methods, e.g., high pressure, pulsing electrical field, nondestructive techniques, e.g., nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), near infrared reflectance, near infrared transmittance (NIR-NIT), photo acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for chemical composition determination, radiation techniques, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis (RO) as well. Using ionizing radiation (nuclear methods) and non-ionizing radiation technologies, it is possible to fulfill a lot of expectations: decrease of microbial contamination, improve of sensory properties, increase of storability, etc..展开更多

Yet installing those instruments in unstable positions will cause measurement errors or even the complete failure of long-term subsidence surveillance. In this paper, the innovative concept and its method of "displacement-relay videometrics" are proposed. With the method, a double-headed camera is designed, and two constraints, the "fixation constraint" and the "homologous constraint", are established to construct the displacement-relay measurement equations, which can concurrently give the subsidence of the points to be measured and the positions where the cameras are fixed. The method and its measurement system are thus capable of automatically measuring the surface subsidence under the condition that the cameras are mounted on unstable locations over long durations. Therefore, the method has the broad prospect of undertaking automatic, long-term and continuous measurement for surface subsidence in engineering projects such as railroad beds, bridges and the ground beds of tall buildings. The proposed method opens a new area that cameras can be mounted on unstable platform to make high accuracy measurements, which is of great significance for applications.展开更多

In this method, we use the dis- crete distribution theory to calculate standard deviation of energy resolution a. The calibration of cr and energy (E) for two de- tectors between the energy ranges of 4.5-26 keV are also completed by measuring characteristic X-ray spectra of nineteen types of pure elements. With the spectrum fraction (SF) parameter proposed in this paper, the SDA method can be used to re- solve overlapping peaks. In measured spectra, the Gaussian part of X-ray peaks can be fitted by a Gaussian function with two parameters, ~ and SF. This new fitting approach is simpler than traditional methods and it achieves relatively good results when fitting the complex X-ray spectra of national standard alloy samples detected by Si(PIN) and SDD detectors. The 3(2 values are obtained for each spectrum to assess fitting results, and the SDA fitting method gives a preferable fit for the SDD detector.展开更多
