To evaluate the feasibility and capability of DOCARS for quantitative analysis of the acid radical ions in the deep ocean, extensive investigations have been carried out both in laboratory and sea trials during the development phase. In the laboratory investigations, Raman spectra of the prepared samples (acid radical ions solutions) were obtained, and analyzed using the method of internal standard normalization in data processing. The Raman signal of acid radical ions was normalized by that of water molecules. The calibration curve showed that the normalized Raman signal intensity of SO4^2-, NO3^-, and HCO^-3 increases linearly as the concentration rises with correlation coefficient R^2 of 0.99, 0.99, and 0.98 respectively. The linear function obtained from the calibration curve was then used for the analysis of the spectra ,data acquired in the sea trial under a simulating chemical field in the deep-sea environment. It was found that the detected concentration of NO3 according to the linear function can reflect the concentration changes of NO~ after the sample was released, and the detection accuracy of the DOCARS system for SO^2-_4 is 8%. All the results showed that the DOCARS system has great potential in quantitative detection of acid radical ions under the deep-sea environment, while the sensitivity of the DOCARS system is expected to be improved.展开更多

Infrasound monitoring and localization of infrasonic waves can serve as warning properties for debris-flows. Based on the characteristics of infrasonic signals, this study presents a three-point array of infrasound sensors as time-synchronous multiple sensors for acquiring signals. In the meantime, the signals are sorted by mutual correlation of signals to figure out their latency, and by means of array coordinating to Locate the sound source to realize the monitoring and positioning of a debris-flows hazard. The method has been in situ tested and has been proven to be accurate in monitoring debris-flow occurrences and determining their positions, which is particularly effective for pre-event warning of debris-flow hazards.展开更多

Different areas in two precracked weldments were inspected at different time-intervals by type TSC-1M-4 stress-concentration magnetic inspector to obtain MMM signals. Mechanisms of MMM signals varying behavior with inspecting time and space were analyzed and discussed respectively. It is found that MMM signals don't change with inspecting time-interval, since stress field and magnetic leakage field maintain unchanged at any time after welding. On the other hand, MMM signals differ greatly for different inspecting locations, because stress field and magnetic leakage field are unevenly distributed in defective ferromagnetic materials.展开更多

All kinds of control signals are produced easily by FPGA, under which DSP could work properly. Combining the DSP and FPGA,the detecting method is implemented successfully. In the end, the result of test and performance is given. From the result we can conclude that the precision of FOG is improved and the noises are limited to a low level.展开更多

The hippocampal field potential signal in the brain of rat was sampled using the acquisition card' s A/D channel, and the amplitude and cycle characteristics were analyzed and the wave peak or trough of the coming field potential ( 0 ) rhythm was predicted using LabVIEW program. Meanwhile, the needed stimulus signal was output at the specified phase position via the digital port or D/A channel of the acquisition card, so as to implement the nerve stimulation. The experimental result showed that the prediction accuracies of 0 -rhythm wave peak and trough were up to 92% and 86%, respectively. The electrical stimulation system can be applied to predicting a variety of nervous rhythm wave phases and other signal characteristics because of its universality and flexibility. Thus, a new loop control stimulation method is provided for the nerve electrophysiology study and the electrical stimulation treatment of brain diseases.展开更多

For the location and identification of buried UXO in Jinshan area,a total-field magnetic survey is applied. The analytic signal of magnetic field is widely used to outline the boundaries of geology bodies,slightly dependent on the magnetization direction. In order to locate the UXO position,the analytic signal is applied to process the magnetic UXO data,which performs better than the conventional magnetic data. Then a typical UXO anomaly is extracted from the original data to invert for its depth by an improved Euler method proposed.The calculated depth is close to the real buried depth.展开更多

SDT has distinct advantages over basic prediction models since the latter may not represent an entirely accurate analysis. Thresholds based on elements of stimulus (signal and noise) and response for: a Type I discrimination of response variable where decision outcomes and rates are computed for metacognition to discriminate a Type II of decision outcomes was set. We also adapted the classical Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm within a GIS environment using Avenue programming. Contours derived from LiDARwere used to set flood levels while satellite imagery corresponding to Red River of the North inundated (signal) areas were acquired amongst other spatial datasets. The signal information was further dichotomized using a binary yes-no model. Origin and destination points constrained within Fargo-Morehead were generated using a random point generator. From these points, trips were generated with some connected segments traversing through flooded areas. By analyzing False Alarm Rate (FAR) and Corrected Rejection (CRR) computation, we found out that, when Hit Rate (HR) and FAR are both low then there was an increased corresponding sensitivity. At 30-35 ft flood level, the values for FAR and HR was 0.97 and 0.91 respectively.When FAR〉HR, lower set flood levels offered numerous route choices. Corresponding routes with associated impedance can be classified for risk-averse drivers or risk-takers While the risk-averse avoid risky and unfavorable routes, the risk-taker optimizes at an adjustment factor of ω = 0.1 or ω = 0.2. An idealistic stage is achieved for a conservative, co, equal to 0.4 or 0.5, which indicates maximum achievement in terms of time gain and safety simultaneously. At ω = 0.0 the prevailing conditions can be considered unrealistic since they incorporate areas considered impassable with absolute resistance like segments with a "Road Closed" or "Detour" sign. The applicability of our approach can be used to design multi-level and multi-modal transportation systems involving risk.展开更多

The measuring set-up is arranged in high voltage laboratory. A multi-end measuring method is chosen as a technique to locate PD source point on the line. A power transformer is used to energize one end of the CC line by the AC voltage source. The performance of Rogowski-coil is tested in noisy environment. The tests are carried out conceming different measurement conditions such as off-line and on-line PD measuring systems. The results obtained from the laboratory measurements confirm the capability of the Rogowski-coil in order to measure and locate the high frequency PD source on the CC line in consistent with energizing AC source. Chirp detector is used as a signal-processing tool in order to extract the PD signals and then apply the locator algorithm.展开更多

Beyond this frequency, GWs leave no temporal-correlated signals; instead, they appear as white noise in the timing residuals. The variance of the GW-induced white noise is a function of the position of the pulsars relative to the GW source. By observing this unique functional form in the timing data, we propose that we can detect GWs of frequency >f_(Ny)(super-Nyquist frequency GWs; SNFGWs). We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method with simulated timing data.Using a selected dataset from the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array data release 1 and the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves publicly available datasets, we try to detect the signals from single SNFGW sources. The result is consistent with no GW detection with 65.5% probability. An all-sky map of the sensitivity of the selected pulsar timing array to single SNFGW sources is generated, and the position of the GW source where the selected pulsar timing array is most sensitive to is λ_s =.0.82,β_s =-1.03(rad); the corresponding minimum GW strain is h = 6.31 × 10^(-11) at f = 1 × 10^(-5) Hz.展开更多
