Abstract:

Currently, the evaluation methods of importance measures such as structure importance measure, criticality reliability importance and B-reliability importance, have some shortcomings that the evaluation results are not comprehensive enough and the scope of usage. In order to accurately evaluate the importance measures of equipment, and to reflect the impact of the equipment on the communication network, a comprehensive evaluation method of importance measure is put forward. According to the influence of inherent structure of system and service reliability, the importance measure of equipment is calculated. By the coefficient modification, it can accurately evaluate comprehensive evaluation of electric power communication equipment based on reliability importance measures. Example result verifies the feasibility and validity of the comprehensive evaluation method.

Abstract:

Abstract An electronic meter was developed to measure the concentration of organic volatiles in the headspace over samples of comminuted peanuts. The meter consists of a commercially available semiconductor (Taguchi) and a temperature compensation circuit. The conductivity of the sensor increases in the presence of organic volatiles. Calibration of the meter can be made by measuring the volatiles in the headspace over known concentrations of ethyl alcohol in water. Good agreement between meter measurement of the concentration of organic volatiles in the headspace over samples of comminuted peanuts and the percent of freeze-damaged peanuts in the samples was demonstrated. Other tests with peanuts which were cured at 50 C or exposed to −1 C before curing demonstrated the meter can detect these types of objectionable flavors and indicated meter readings were not significantly affected by the moisture content of the peanuts.

Abstract:

Ankle ligament sprains are the most common injury in soccer. The high rate of these injuries demonstrates a need for novel data collection methodologies. Therefore, soccer shoes and shin guards were instrumented with inertial sensors to measure ankle joint kinematics in the field. The purpose of this study was to assess test-retest reliability and concurrent criterion validity of a kinematic assessment using the instrumented soccer equipment. Twelve soccer athletes performed athletic maneuvers in the laboratory and field during 2 sessions. In the laboratory, ankle joint kinematics were simultaneously measured with the instrumented equipment and a conventional motion analysis system. Reliability was assessed using ICC and validity was assessed using correlation coefficients and RMSE. While our design criteria of good test-retest reliability was not supported (ICC > .80), sagittal plane ICCs were mostly fair to good and similar to motion analysis results; and sagittal plane data were valid (r = .90−.98; RMSE < 5°). Frontal and transverse plane data were not valid (r < .562; RMSE > 3°). Our results indicate that the instrumented soccer equipment can be used to measure sagittal plane ankle joint kinematics. Biomechanical studies support the utility of sagittal plane measures for lower extremity injury prevention.

Abstract:

Poor installation and maintenance of height measuring equipment is a serious problem in the community. With care, however, height can be measured with sufficient precision (± 0.5 cm) to identify unusually short or tall stature. Height velocity, on the other hand, is liable to misinterpretation. It cannot be estimated with sufficient precision to identify abnormal growth in the short term. There is no correlation between two successive 12 month velocities. When a trend towards poor velocity is beyond all doubt then it will be apparent on the height chart alone. In addition, “poor” or “excessive” growth is conditional on the height of the child: short children do not grow at the same rate as tall. A diagnosis of abnormal growth requires long term monitoring and is best seen as a series of height measurements crossing the centiles on the height chart. Given the correct equipment and training, height or length can be measured with a fair degree of precision in the youngest of children. The earlier measurements begin, the sooner an abnormal pattern of growth will become evident. The regular monitoring of height should be standard practice and available to each and every child.

Abstract:

This paper presents a method for evaluating the availability of lead-acid battery test equipment and designs the corresponding evaluation mathematical model. International standard IEC60896-2 specifies the lead-acid battery internal resistance level. Because the internal resistance value is usually micro-Ohm level and the lead-acid battery has special electrochemical characteristics, it’s very difficult to measure it. Until now no authority can officially provides the actual resistance value for a given battery. However, the industry has agreed that the internal resistance will gradually increases during the use of the battery and the performance of the battery has close relationship with the change of the internal resistance, so even if the measurement equipment can not measure the absolute actual resistance, but as long as the battery can be measured a small change in internal resistance, it has a high availability. In this paper, we propose a micro-incremental verification method and a mathematical model to facilitate, accurately and quickly verify whether the battery internal resistance test equipment can accurately and stably measure the internal resistance of the battery, and provide technical verification reference for selecting the battery measuring equipment.

Abstract:

Communications equipments' voltage, current fluctuations and power changes will bring uncertain hazards in communication systems, monitoring each functional unit's power is necessary. However, communication equipment's power supply has characteristics such as high transient and wide-scale fluctuations, which increases the difficulty of monitoring the power output. This paper introduces a design of an accurate real-time detection of each functional unit's power in communications equipment. The design uses dedicated power detection chip LTC4151 as the core components of the power collection, the LTC4151 which has wide range and high DC voltage input can measure output power, determine and make alarm processing under the management of the micro-controller. The hardware and software design of system are described in detail. The design has high reliability which solved the problem of monitoring communication equipment's power under the complex environment with simple circuit.

Abstract:

Reliable measures of the gross replacement cost of fixed assets are needed for a variety of reasons. It is generally accepted that this is the valuation concept which is most appropriate for assessing the output capacity of capital and for analysing developments over time in output, labour force and capital stock relationships. The gross replacement cost of fixed assets is also the benchmark for deriving measures of net capital stock which, taken in conjunction with other capital elements and profit data, yield rates of return to capital. Furthermore it is the concept which constitutes the fundamental ingredient in the quantification of the depreciation allowances that are used in national accounts.

Abstract:

The measurement of low-strain properties (wave velocity and damping ratio) of geomaterials is affected by equipment-generated delays, coupling of transducers, and wave reflections. This study presents a new technique to measure ultrasonic properties of stiff specimens accurately. Compressional-wave velocities in cylindrical rods of different lengths and materials were measured using different ultrasonic equipment. The error induced by different equipment was below 1% after the measurements were corrected by the equipment time delay. Shear-wave velocities of different materials were measured using ultrasonic transducers (frequency < 1 MHz) and a resonant column device (frequency < 200 Hz). The difference in shear-wave velocities was less than 4%, and the measured values are in agreement with published results for all tested materials. A new methodology based on the first two reflections of the main pulse has been developed to measure the damping ratio of stiff specimens using ultrasonic equipment. The ultrasonic measurements of the damping ratio compare well with resonant column results. A more reliable determination of the dynamic Poisson’s ratio of a cemented sand was achieved using corrected ultrasonic-wave velocities.

Abstract:

Generally, Hidden Time Loss exists besides all procedures and thus it has the direct influence on the rate of productivity. In the line of production, the most prominent tool to measure the performance is Overall Equipment Efficiency. Availability of equipment is one of the component to measure Overall Equipment Efficiency to cater the Hidden Time Loss. Though, in manual assembly and semi-automatic assembly procedure, the Overall Equipment Efficiency is not good fit to measure operational performance of assembly procedure. Along the manual assembly and semi-automatic assembly procedures some Hidden Time Loss has occurred particularly when same line of production provides high variety of product. Therefore, the current research introduces the Non-valued Changeover Time as one component of Time Loss Measures in assemble produces. A comprehensive literature analysis is done on the production operations along with the measures of performance to develop the Non-valued Change-over Time structure. Basically, a case study of two companies of automotive manufacturing is used to find the validity of structure of Non-valued Change-over Time. It is concluded that Non-valued Change-over Time is one of the measure of Hidden Time Loss in manual as well as semi-automatic assembly procedures.

Abstract:

Equipment is exerting an increasing influence on the nature of tennis. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) Technical Centre was set up to ensure that the challenge and identity of the game is retained, while not discouraging technological innovation. As the physiological characteristics of the player are not under its control, the Technical Centre must pursue its mission through the understanding and control of equipment. This requires systematic testing to establish its characteristics, and research and development projects to identify methods of measuring those characteristics that are not currently covered by the Rules of Tennis. This paper describes tests, test methods and current research programs that the ITF has devised to measure the performance of tennis equipment. Although tennis balls are currently tested for size, mass, compression and rebound, two further variables are being researched to more fully specify its characteristics: dynamic coefficient of restitution and aerodynamics (lift and drag). The former project has suggested an inverse second-order relationship between coefficient of restitution and impact speed. A racket performance machine is described, which is designed to replicate the impact characteristics of tennis serves, and which will be used to benchmark the performance characteristics of tennis rackets. Initial results demonstrate the relationship between "power" and both impact speed and impact location. Surfaces, too, play an important role in determining ball rebound characteristics. A test that measures the frictional interaction between the ball and surface during impact, which is converted to a measure of surface "space" is described. The results of these projects will allow the ITF, in its role as guardian of the game, to make informed decisions on the rules relating to equipment, and help ensure that tennis retains its identity.

Abstract:

Cold pain threshold (CPT) measures an individual’s pain threshold in response to a cold stimulus. CPT is most accurately determined with specialised equipment; however this technology is not readily accessible to clinicians. Instead, ice has been employed to measure CPT. An optimal ice protocol has not yet been identified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of two CPT protocols using ice in a young, healthy population. Twenty-two participants aged 22.6 (SD 1.81) years underwent CPT measurements over 6 anatomical sites across 3 protocols, which were repeated in 2 sessions. One protocol measured pain (PVAS) following ice applied for a standardised period of 30 seconds; a second protocol measured time to onset of pain, and the reference standard measured CPT using laboratory equipment (TSA-II). The PVAS protocol demonstrated the best reliability (mean ICC 0.783, 95% CI 0.706 to 0.841), but the Timed protocol demonstrated superior validity compared to the reference standard (mean ICC −0.504, 95% CI −0.621 to −0.365).

Abstract:

Whole-body vibration exposure levels were measured during the operation of fifteen different types of mobile mining equipment commonly used in Ontario mines. A tri-axial seat pad accelerometer was used to measure vibration exposure when the mining vehicle was operated from a seated position and a tri-axial accelerometer secured to floor, between the operator's feet, was used to measure vibration exposure when the mining equipment was operated from a standing position. Measurements were conducted in accordance with the procedures described in the 1997 ISO 2631-1 standard. Determination of likely health risks for equipment operators were based on a comparison of the measured vibration exposure levels with Health Guidance Caution Zone limits presented in Annex B of the ISO 2631-1 standard. Six vehicles (UG haulage truck, bulldozer, 3.5 yard LHD, cavo loader, muck machine, and personnel carrying tractor) were above the Health Guidance Caution Zone limit, assuming an eight hour exposure period while four vehicles (grader, 7 yard LHD, scissor lift truck and locomotive) were within the Health Guidance Caution Zone limit.

Abstract:

In order to accurately describe the equipment’ severity caused by voltage sag, the credibility measure which meets the conditions of non-additive is proposed based on their physical properties of responses. This assessment measure can avoid the deficiencies that classical probability measure needs a large number of samples and the non-duality of fuzzy measure. The membership functions of sensitive equipment voltage tolerance capability that corresponding to the characteristic quantities in the status uncertain area was determined by fuzzy statistical method and polynomial fitting method. Then the joint credibility distribution function was deduced based on uncertainty theory. Hence, the assessment model of severity of equipment failure is constructed. Based on practical samples, the PCs were simulated using the proposed method. Comparing the simulation results with methods using classical probability measure and possibility measure prove that the proposed method is proper and credible and can reflect practical condition more objectively.

An intelligent measure control system is designed to solve the problem of real-time intelligent detection of thermal defects of high voltage equipment at unmanned substations. This system uses a new method that continuous power of CC2530, a ZigBee wireless single chip, is provided by using monocrystalline silicon solar cells and thermoelectric generation modules. This method can also solve the problem that overheat faults can not be alarmed timely when efficiency of solar cells decrease during the continuous rainy days, and can realize real-time wireless detection and remote fault analysis of thermal defects of high voltage equipment. The supervisory programs of the remote PC and the upper computer are designed through VC + +.NET and the communication mode adopts C/S model based on TCP/IP protocols. The image files are saved as JPEG format by CImage class, which implements the real-time transmission of images. All the forgoing advantages provide a technical assurance to the remote and intelligent control of the heat vice of high-voltage equipment in the unmanned substations.

Full text

Abstract:

Mesh erosion is a phenomenon whereby soft tissue becomes damaged as a result of contact with implants made from surgical mesh, a fabric-like material consisting of fibers of polypropylene or other polymers. This paper describes the design and construction of a testing machine to generate mesh erosion in vitro. A sample of mesh in the form of a 10 mm wide tape is pressed against soft tissue (porcine muscle) with a given force, and a given reciprocating movement is applied between the mesh and the tissue. To demonstrate the capabilities of the equipment, we measured erosion using the same mesh and tissue type, varying the applied force and the reciprocating stroke length, including zero strokes (i.e., static loading). For comparison, we also tested four other samples of polypropylene with different edge characteristics. Analysis of the results suggests the existence of three different erosion mechanisms: cutting, wear and creep. It is concluded that the equipment provides a useful and realistic simulation of mesh erosion, a phenomenon that is of great clinical significance and merits further study.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to construct a static and dynamic anthropometric database for domestic population in Taiwan. This anthropometric database is divided into static body dimensions and dynamic ranges of motion. A direct measurement method was applied to measure static body dimensions and an optical method was employed for dynamic range measurement. The static body dimensions include three parts furthermore. The first part is to measure the space coordinates of landmarks of body surface and calculate the meaningful related distances between any two landmarks. The equipment to take the space coordinates of surface landmarks is a 3-D coordination measuring probe. Ninety four surface landmarks are measured and 141 items are calculated in this part. The second part is to measure the length and thickness dimensions of human body with a digital caliper and 27 items are measured. The third part is to measure the circumference and length of the curve with a digital tape measure. Ninety eight items are measured here. The dynamic ranges of motion contain 42 angles of motion of major body joints. The equipment used to measure the ranges of motion is a 3-D motion analyzer. A total of 10019 subjects were measured, i.e. 1200 workers, 610 Army soldiers, 502 university students, 1200 senior high school students, 3207 junior high school students and 3300 elementary school students. The age ranges from 12 to 64 years old. The data are presented in a computerized query system. It is expected that the data can be used by designers, engineers or any other people for developing ergonomic designs of equipment, product and workplace environment, and standard legislation. Ultimately, a healthy and comfortable living environment and a high quality of working life can be achieved in the near future.

This evaluation measure can avoid the deficiencies containing in classical probability measure which needs a large number of testing samples.

Then the credibility distribution function was determined. The proposed evaluation model of sensitive equipment failure rate caused by voltage sag is developed. Using the practical testing samples, the personal computer (PC) was evaluated by the proposed method. Comparing the proposed method with current methods, the results have shown that the proposed method is proper, correct and credible. This method may be more practicable in practical condition.

Abstract:

This study developed a set of equipment that can measure the treadmill exercise energy consumption accurately, and apply the exercise energy consumption to refrigeration and heating devices, thus supplying hot water and chilled water for users. Exercise energy consumption is conventionally measured based on the amount of exercise, but this study used non-electric mode to drive refrigeration and heating devices. According to the measurement results, the heat energy generated by exercise energy is 65 kcal; as compared with the 70 kcal measured by calorie meter, the result is within 10% of error range, thus proving that the proposed measuring method is worth research and development. In addition, without conventional energy sources, 3,000c.c of hot water (45°C) and 1,500c.c of cold water (7°C) could be generated within 20min use of the treadmill. The proposed equipment can measure the exercise energy consumption, and support the refrigeration and heating system to produce free hot water and cold water. This is an environmentally-friendly and innovative multifunctional equipment worthy of further research and development .

Nevertheless, the unit of angular measure in degrees is used as the geometric measure of length in geodesy, machine engineering and other branches of industry – by multiangular prisms – polygons with an autocollimator, rotary tables, circular scales, etc. It should be noted that these angle measures are calibrated against the upper level measures (etalons) only at the several intervals depending on the number of sides (angles) of the polygon or the other standard measure. The methods of calibration of constant angle value in full circle are used as well. At the same time geodetic instruments, rotary tables of metal cutting tools and instruments, rotary encoders have a great number of discrete values. These values between the calibrated points remain unknown during calibration. The information received during calibration relative to all the information available can be evaluated using information entropy. The equipment of calibration permitting to select significantly more information would be essential for better accuracy assurance of instruments used in machine engineering, geodesy, building structures. Theoretical and technical background for justifying and developing such equipment for angular accuracy calibration is presented here. A modern scientific and technical background validates this concept.

Abstract:

This study describes the development of the Fitness Facility Membership Questionnaire of 43 items, designed to identify reasons for joining a fitness facility. Items were generated from responses to an open-ended questionnaire. A 50-item version of the questionnaire was completed by 152 members of five community-based fitness facilities. Principal components analysis with varimax rotation yielded 8 factors, accounting for 63.8% of the variance. The factors were labeled Socialization, Aquatic-related Facilities, Extrinsic Motivation, Recreational Facilities, Intrinsic Motivation, Resistance Equipment, Aerobic Equipment, and Amenities. The internal consistency of the eight factors was acceptable with Cronbach coefficients alpha ranging from .72 to .89. Discriminant analysis of responses is also presented.

Abstract:

Among the methods available for assessing body composition, traditional methods like hydrodensitometry and skin-fold measurements are well known. In this review, we focus on the impedance and interactance methods, which use systems that are usually inexpensive, easily transportable and simple to operate. We also discuss the usefulness of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, particularly for the measurement of fat distribution. Nurses need to be skilled in the use of the equipment and familiar with the techniques.

Abstract:

As one of typical multilevel fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the key step for the evaluation of operation quality of urban taxi transportation system is to converse a series of membership degrees from membership degrees of bottom indexes. However, the existing converse algorithms of membership degrees are questionable because of redundant data of membership degrees of indexes, which are useless to objective classification, are involved in calculation of it of the objectives. Therefore, in order to classify the objects properly, a filtering algorithm, which can filter redundant data firstly in membership degrees of indexes that are useless for objective classification, is proposed to extract the valid values to converse membership degrees. Without the redundant data, a general algorithm for conversing membership degrees is given to evaluate the operation quality of urban taxi transportation system.

Abstract:

This paper discuses the development of the optical sensor due to detect the micro crack and measure the surface property of the contact surface in the equipment. To measure the surface property is an index for detecting no uniformity contact and / or micro crack on the contact surface. So, there is demand of the development of the sensor to measure the surface property in using equipment. This sensor has two optical systems, called stylus and skid, to reduce the influence of vibrations on the measurement result. The stylus measures the surface property with the vibration, and the skid measures only the displacement between the sensor and the objective surface at the same place as the stylus, i.e. the vibration. Therefore, the stylus signal minus skid signal shows the surface property. In this research, the proposal of the principle of this system, the methods of the development and the evaluation of the stylus system of the sensor and the development of prototype sensor is described.

Abstract:

The effect of a soldier's ability to hear on the capacity to perform a mission was calculated for a variety of militarily relevant tasks through the use of mathematical models. Changes in hearing can result from organic loss, hearing protectors, the masking effect of noises, etc. The effects were calculated for the detection of sounds of enemy personnel (speech, movement noises) or their equipment (rifle bolt, tank, generator). We also calculated the effects on the ability to control/communicate with troops verbally. The normal ear is highly effective in detecting noises of personnel or their equipment or in understanding speech, even in noise. By contrast, even modest hearing losses and/or the wearing of hearing protectors can have profound effects on military performance, for example, reducing the area that can be monitored acoustically by more than 30-fold or cutting warning times for other sounds by a factor of more than 100. Hearing protectors may have the conflicting effects of protecting hearing while producing unacceptable performance because of their attenuation.

Abstract:

Tumbling mills are often taken as the object of optimization studies because they are a type of equipment that consume large amounts of energy. Among the current available resources to conduct such studies, mathematic modelling presents great efficiency due to its low cost, speed and reliability. The total charge and grinding media charge are very important variables to conduct modelling exercises that aim at power draw and product size distribution forecasting. However, the common measurement methods require people entering the equipment, which carries a number of adversities related to confined spaces. In this regard, this paper presents the development of a method and the prototype of a device able to measure tumbling mill charges, quickly, precisely, with low cost and, above all, ensuring safety. The result of this work is a method that allows equivalent or superior precision in comparison to the existing methods, whose main aspect is to eliminate the requirement of people entering dangerous environments, such as tumbling mills.

Abstract:

With the development of the equipment resources conservation in PLA, the equipment resource-ability is proposed as a basic property of the equipment. The reaction of the equipment are available to promote resource saving and environment-friendly capabilities. With the deepening of the study, how to transform the equipment resource-ability from theory to practice and how to measure the existing equipment’s equipment resource-ability become the urgent problems. As the important component of the equipment resource theory system, the evaluation of equipment resources can response the level of equipment resource-ability correctly and objectively and also can offer the instruction for the equipment research department on comprehension and improvement of equipment resource-ability. Setting out from the relevant concepts of equipment resource-ability, this thesis proposes the basic principle of evaluation of equipment resource-ability, which is the whole life cycle principle, typical and representative principle as well as the oriented principle. Meanwhile, through the analysis on each stage of the whole life cycle of equipment, this thesis elects some factors that has a greater impact on equipment resource-ability, namely equipping materials selected, function structure and disposal of pollutant. The impacts of the three factors mentioned above on the equipment resource-ability mainly reflect in the sustainable ability of equipment consuming resource, resource utilization efficiency and environmental impact. Therefore, this article will regard the sustainable ability of equipment consuming resource, resource utilization efficiency, environmental impacts as the principal parts of evaluation of equipment resource-ability., At the same time, the index such as the using proportion of scarce materials, the comprehensive energy consumption, the pollutant of liquid, emission, gas at unit time and the degree of human health damage will be as a specific index of evaluation of equipment resource-ability in the thesis.

Abstract:

It is introduced a certain approach for equipment of sets with cardinality of the continuum by structures of Polish groups with two-sided (left or right) invariant Haar measures. By using this approach we answer positively Maleki’s certain question (2012) what are the real k-dimensional manifolds with at least two different Lie group structures that have the same Haar measure. It is demonstrated that for each diffused Borel probability measure defined in a Polish space (G;ρ;Bρ(G)) without isolated points there exist a metric ρ1and a group operation ⊙ in G such that Bρ(G) = Bρ1(G) and (G;ρ1;Bρ1(G);⊙) stands a compact Polish group with a two-sided (left or right) invariant Haar measure μ , where Bρ(G) and Bρ1(G) denote Borel σ-algebras of subsets of G generated by metrics ρ and ρ1, respectively. Similar approach is used for a construction of locally compact non-compact or non-locally compact Polish groups equipped with two-sided (left or right) invariant quasi-finite Borel measures.
