These cells were prepared and measured at National Institute for Standard （NIS-Egypt） to study the stability of the saturated salt solutions. The study was carried out using three saturated salt solutions, which are Potassium Acetate 22.5%, Potassium Iodide 68.9% and Potassium Sulphate 97.3% to cover low, medium and high relative humidity. The study was carried out using different shapes and volumes half liter spherical, liter spherical and liter conical per each salt which was prepared. The apparatus which used in measurement system in the first time are the same which used after ten years. The results show that the change of relative humidity value after ten years ranged from 0.1% to 0.7%. This value is suitable within uncertainty ＋ 2%. The period of stability for each run for all cells was found to be more than five hours and this period enough for calibration. The measurements show that the cells are stable for more than ten years with accepted value.展开更多

This paper presents a method for detection and quantification of the meshing characteristics of the harmonic drive gear based on computer vision. First, an experimental set-up that integrates a high speed camera system with a lighting system is developed, and the image processing is adopted to extract and polish the tooth profiles of the meshed teeth pairs in each acquired video sequence. Next, a physical-mathematical model is established to determine the relative positions of the selected tooth pair in the process of the gear engagement, and the combined standard uncertainty is utilized to evaluate the accuracy of the calculated kinematics parameters. Last, the kinematics analysis of the gear engagement under the ultra-low speed condition is performed with our method and previous method, and the influence of the input rotational speed on the results is examined. The results validate the effectiveness of our method, and indicate that the conventional method is not available in the future friction analysis. It is also shown that the engaging-in phase is approximately a uniform motion process, the engaging-out phase is a variable motion process, and these characteristics remain unchanged with the variation of the input rotational speed. Our method affords the ability to understand the frictional mechanism on the meshed contact surfaces of the harmonic drive gear, and also allows for the dynamic monitoring of the meshing properties.展开更多
