Modelling and Parameters Identification of Through-Hole Type Wind Turbine Contactless Sliprings

This paper presents a modelling and parameter identification of through-hole type contactless slipring systems for transferring electrical power for wind turbine pitch control. An equivalent circuit model has been developed from the physical structure and dimensions of the contactless slipring using the duality rules, which is very different form traditional transformer. The circuit inductances are determined by the derived expressions from the system reluctances. In particular, the equivalent resistance representing the core loss of the slipring has been determined using phasor diagram of exciting current. FEM (Finite Element Method) models and practical prototypes are developed for testing and verifycations. Both simulation and experimental results have shown that the developed model gives truthful values for numerical calculations in order to obtain the equivalent electric circuit. The effect of fringing flux around the air gap on mutual inductance and the ways of correcting its effects are analysed. The obtained values have shown that the developed models and derived equations are with high accuracy as compared to the FEM simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, a novel antenna is proposed for high-temperature testing, which can make the high-temperature pressure characteristics of a wireless passive ceramic pressure sensor demonstrated at up to a temperature of 600℃. The design parameters of the antenna are similar to those of the sensor, which will increase the coupling strength between the sensor and testing antenna. The antenna is fabricated in thick film integrated technology, and the properties of the alumina ceramic and silver ensure the feasibility of the antenna in high-temperature environments. The sensor, coupled with the ceramic antenna, is investigated using a high-temperature pressure testing platform. The experimental measurement results show that the pressure signal in a harsh environment can be detected by the frequency diversity of the sensor.

A simple, economical, and sensitive capillary electrophoresis (CE) method integrated with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection was developed for the determination of metal ions such as K+, Na+, Mg2+, Sr2+, Ca2+ in drinking water. 18-Crown-6 ether and Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) were employed as complexing reagents. The effects of electrolyte additives, citric acid buffer solution, and other separation conditions of CE were comprehensively investigated and carefully optimized. The best results were obtained in a running buffer solution composed of citric acid (12 mM), 18-crown-6 ether (0.2 mM), and CTAB (0.015 mM) at pH 3.5. Under these conditions, a complete separation of five metal ions was successfully achieved in less than 12 min. The limits of detection for the optimal procedure were determined to be in the range of 0.02 - 0.2 mg·L-1. The repeatability with respect to migration times and peak areas, expressed as relative standard deviations, was better than 2.3% and 5.1%, respectively. Evaluation of the efficiency of the methodology indicated that it was reliable for the determination of metal ions in six different brands of drinking water samples.

Contactless Raman Spectroscopy-Based Monitoring of Physical States of Silyl-Modified Polymers during Cross-Linking

Cross-linking of silyl-modified polymers occurs at the alkoxysilane groups attached to the ends of polymer chains by hydrolysis and polycondensation mechanisms in the presence of moisture. During these reactions, three different physical states can be identified (viscous, skin effect and cross-linked state). Knowledge of the evolution of these states at each reaction time is essential to determine the open time for the adhe-sive industry and is generally obtained by a manual method. Automation of this moni-toring could avoid operator error and could be used for very long cross linking reac-tions or to screen a large number of catalysts. Thus, a contactless micro process tech-nology was developed to correlate these physical states with an optical technology, Raman spectroscopy, by monitoring the decrease in intensity of the Si-OCH3 groups during chemical reactions. This online characterization method can also be used to compare the efficiencies of several catalysts for the cross-linking of silyl-modified polymers, using a minimum amount of chemical materials.

Transverse distribution law of airflow excitation force for SI-FLAT contactless shapometer

Aiming at the shape problems in production, the finite element model was built with the Fluent software to analyze the transverse distribution laws of airflow excitation force under different factors which affected the detection precision. For analyzing the shape errors caused by the non-uniform transverse distribution of airflow excitation force, the finite element model of strip is built with the ANSYS12.0 software. It is found in the study results that the airflow excitation forces display the same distribution laws under different rolling conditions, i.e. have an obvious attenuation at the edge of strip~ which causes large shape measurement errors. For reducing shape errors, the compensation project is put forward, and it gives a good foundation for improving the detection precision.

Contactless interaction recognition and interactor detection in multi-person scenes

Human interaction recognition is an essential task in video surveillance.The current works on human interaction recognition mainly focus on the scenarios only containing the close-contact interactive subjects without other people.In this paper,we handle more practical but more challenging scenarios where interactive subjects are contactless and other subjects not involved in the interactions of interest are also present in the scene.To address this problem,we propose an Interactive Relation Embedding Network(IRE-Net)to simultaneously identify the subjects involved in the interaction and recognize their interaction category.As a new problem,we also build a new dataset with annotations and metrics for performance evaluation.Experimental results on this datasesthow significant improvements of the proposed method when compared with current methodsdeveloped for human interaction recognition and group activity recognition.

Contactless integrated photonic probes:fundamentals,characteristics,and applications

On-chip optical power monitors are indispensable for functional implementation and stabilization of large-scale and complex photonic integrated circuits(PICs).Traditional on-chip optical monitoring is implemented by tapping a small portion of optical power from the waveguide,which leads to signifcant loss.Due to its advantages like non-invasive nature,miniaturization,and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS)process compatibility,a transparent monitor named the contactless integrated photonic probe(CLIPP),has been attracting great attention in recent years.The CLIPP indirectly monitors the optical power in the waveguide by detecting the conductance variation of the local optical waveguide caused by the surface state absorption(SSA)efect.In this review,we frst introduce the fundamentals of the CLIPP including the concept,the equivalent electric model and the impedance read-out method,and then summarize some characteristics of the CLIPP.Finally,the functional applications of the CLIPP on the identifcation and feedback control of optical signal are discussed,followed by a brief outlook on the prospects of the CLIPP.

Bimodal Coupling Haptic Perceptron for Accurate Contactless Gesture Perception and Material Identification

A bimodal coupled multifunctional tactile perceptron for contactless gesture recognition and material identification is pro-posed to address the challenges posed by limited functionality,signal interference from multimodal collaborative work,and the high power consumption of traditional tactile sensors.This perceptron integrates a capacitive sensor and a triboelectric sensor symmetrically,employing an energy complementarity strategy to reduce power consumption and implementing symmetrical distribution of two sensors for physical isolation to prevent signal interference.The capacitive sensor detects external pressure,providing information on material properties such as hardness,softness,and deformation,with a wide linear response range of 0-745.3 kPa.The triboelectric sensor captures the electron affinity of measured object.Further,by utilising machine learning algorithms,a system for contactless gesture recognition and material identification is engineered.This system demonstrates a remarkable accuracy rate of 98.5%when recognising 5 gestures,and achieves a perfect identi-fication(100%)of 10 different materials aided by incorporating capacitive and triboelectric response.These results greatly advance the progress of tactile perceptrons with high integration,low power consumption,and multifunctionality,enhancing their effectiveness and reliability in smart device applications.

Design considerations for electromagnetic couplers in contactless power transmission systems for deep-sea applications

In underwater applications of contactless power transmission(CLPT) systems,high pressure and noncoaxial operations will change the parameters of electromagnetic(EM) couplers.As a result,the system will divert from its optimum performance.Using a reluctance modeling method,we investigated the gap effects on the EM coupler in deep-sea environment.Calculations and measurements were performed to analyze the influence of high pressure and noncoaxial alignments on the coupler.It was shown that it is useful to set a relatively large gap between cores to reduce the influence of pressure.Experiments were carried out to verify the transferring capacity of the designed coupler and system for a fixed frequency.The results showed that an EM coupler with a large gap can serve a stable and efficient power transmission for the CLPT system.The designed system can transfer more than 400 W electrical power with a 2-mm gap in the EM coupler,and the efficiency was up to 90% coaxially and 87% non-coaxially in 40 MPa salt water.Finally,a mechanical layout of a 400 W EM coupler for the underwater application in 4000-m deep sea was proposed.

Measurement of bubble velocity using Capacitively Coupled Contactless Conductivity Detection(C^4D)technique

The feasibility of applying Capacitively Coupled Contactless Conductivity Detection （C4D） technique to measurement of bubble velocity in gas-liquid two-phase flow in millimeter-scale pipe is investigated. And, a new method, which combines the C4D technique and the principle of cross-correlation velocity measurement, is proposed for the measurement of bubble velocity. This research includes two parts. First, based on the principle of C4 D, a new five-electrode C4D sensor is developed. Then, with two conductivity signals obtained by the C4D sensor, the velocity measurement of bubble is implemented according to the principle of cross-correlation. The research results indicate that the C4D technique is highly effective and anticipates a broad potential in the field of two-phase flow. Experimental results show that the five-electrode C4D sensor is suitable for measuring the velocity of single bubbles with a relative error of less than 5%.

Humidity sensors with high sensitivity,rapid response,and facile fabrication process for contactless sensing applications have received considerable attention in recent years.Herein,humidity sensors based on hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN)nanosheets that are synthesized by a facile ultrasonic process have been fabricated,which display an ultrahigh sensitivity of 28,384%at 85%relative humidity(RH),rapid response/recovery time(3.0/5.5 s),and long-term stability in a wide humidity detection range(11%-85%RH),superior to most of the reported humidity sensors.The high sensitivity can be ascribed to the massive hydrophilic functional groups absorbed on the h-BN nanosheet surface.Benefiting from the high humidity sensing performances,contactless Morse code messaging and human writing and speech recognition have been demonstrated.This work demonstrates the great potential of the high-performance h-BN nanosheet-based humidity sensors for future contactless sensing devices.

Analyzing the response of a contactless conductivity detector in capillary electrophoresis by a resonant method

We report a resonant method to measure the wall capacitance（C_w） and solution resistance（R_S） in a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector（C^4D）.Under the typical operating conditions in capillary electrophoresis（I.D.50μm,O.D. 360μm,electrode length of 4 mm,electrode gap of 1 mm,frequency of 200 kHz）,the values of C_w measured in 1 and 20 mmol/L NaCl solutions are 2.8 and 32 fF,which are only 1.1%and 12%of prediction by the equation in references,respectively.The value of R_S is less than the prediction in solutions withκ〈0.02 S/m.The response current of C^4D is due to the change in C_w because the total impedance of a C^4D is composed mainly by the impedance from C_w.
