Electrosurgical Unit(ESU) is medical equipment that cut or coag tissues using electrical energy. It is used in hospitals' outpatient clinic room and operating room. Improper use of an ESU may cause fatal injuries to the patient, such as burns. So, before using an ESU, make sure that it is supplying enough energy for cut and coag by measuring the output power and checking the output power cable. In this study, we developed a simple ESU power measurement system PW100 that allows anyone to check the basic output power. And PW100 can check the state of the cable associated with the output power before using ESU. Then, we compared the measured output power of the PW100 with an ESU Analyzer which was commercialized, and compared the performance. In the experiment, the output power measured by the PW100 was lower value than an ESU Analyzer's that. However, the PW100's output power measured in the 5% error range and showed stable reproducibility by a low %RSD value.

The power comparison techniques have implemented power measurements, in which a power comparator is used to balance ac against a dc power obtained from known values. The developed power standard system using the comparison techniques consists of dc sources, ac source, control switches, resistive voltage dividers, resistive shunts and a power comparator. The total uncertainty of the power standard system was proved by analysis of the component instruments. Its expanded(k=2) uncertainty is evaluated to be less than 30 uW/VA at unit power factor and 42 uW/VA at power factor 0.5

The linear motor available for linear transition motion, because of its advantages, the motor design and its application have gradually increased, but the quantitative measurement system of thrust force has not been generalized. So, this paper proposes the modeling, computation method, and measurement system of linear thrust force in HB-type linear pulse motor. As the computation method of thrust force in linear motor is presented and the measurement system is designed, and manufactured, it would be verified that reliability of measurement method and measurement system, considering on and comparing the results of mathematical modeling with measured values of static thrust force and dynamic one.

The paper describes an approach for measuring delivery flow ripple generated by oil hydraulic axial piston pumps. In order to reduce pressure ripple which cause to undesirable noise. vibration and fatigue in hydraulic systems it is indispensible measure a delivery flow ripple from pumps. Since the flow ripple measurement of flow pumps is independent of the dynamic characteristics of the connected hydraulic circuit the measurement of flow ripple is most suitable for pump fluid-borne noise rating. The measurement of flow ripple with high frequencies from axial piston pumps is made by applying the remote instantaneous flow rate measurement method which is based on the dynamic characteristics between pressure and flow rate in hydraulic pipeline. The measured flow ripple waveforms are influenced by the configuration of V-shaped triangular relief groove in the valve plate. It can be seen that the appropriate relief groove in valve plate reduces the pressure and flow ripple amplitude and frequency spectrum for high harmonics.

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy(TDLAS) measurement techniques for several gases densities and temperatures have been applied in industrial combustion systems. Accurate measurement of temperature profile is very important, especially in power plants and heating furnaces. So profile fitting and temperature binning methods are new issue for accurate measurement of temperature in laser gas sensing. Temperature binning method is applied in this study for the measurement of temperature profile using tube furnace with three temperature zones. In this study the temperature profiles of tube furnace is accurately measured within 5% error, and this technique is proved to be very promising in the field of temperature profile measurement.

In this paper, we consider measurement allocation problem in a spatially correlated sensor field. Our goal is to determine the probability of each sensor's being measured based on its contribution to the estimation reliability; it is desirable that a sensor improving the estimation reliability is measured more frequently. We consider a spatial correlation model of a sensor field reflecting transmission power limit, noise in measurement and transmission channel, and channel attenuation. Then the estimation reliability is defined distortion error between event source and its estimation at sink. Motivated by the correlation nature, we model the measurement allocation problem into a cooperative game, and then quantify each sensor's contribution using Shapley value. Against the intractability in the computation of exact Shapley value, we deploy a randomized method that enables to compute the approximate Shapley value within a reasonable time. Besides, we envisage a measurement scheduling achieving the balance between network lifetime and estimation reliability.

In the sound insulation measurements, the influence of background (extraneous) noise is often serious problem and how to reduce its effect and to improve the signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio is an important theme. As the background noise, such extraneous noises as road traffic noise and machine noise often disturb the measurement. In laboratory measurements on specimens with high sound insulation performances, even the internal noise of the measurement system can become a problem. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio and to improve the measurement accuracy, various kinds of digital signal processing techniques can be applied. In this paper, four kinds of digital signal processing techniques are applied and their effectiveness is examined by a simple sound insulation measurement.

The design of a measurement system to perform Harmonic State Estimation(HSE) is a very complex problem. In particular, the number of available harmonic analysis measurement instruments is always limited. Therefore, a systematic procedure is needed to design the optimal placement of measurement points. This paper presents an optimal algorithm of HSE which is based on an optimal placement of measurement points using Immune Algorithm (IAs). This IA-HSE has been applied to power system for the validation of an optimal algorithm of HSE. The study results have indicated an economical and effective method for optimal placement of measurement points using Immune Algorithm (IAs) in the HSE.

Catenary and Pantograph are a power supply devices for electric trains and shall be steadily contacted. Rail catenary must be installed precisely and managed for stable train operations. But external factors such as weathers, nature, etc., or aging affect catenary geometry. Changed catenary height causes high voltage spark or instant electric disconnection. Big spark and disconnection damage pantograph shoe and catenary coating and might interrupt rail operations. To prevent a big scale spark or electric disconnection catenary maintenance shall be required with catenary geometry measurement systems. In this paper, we describe the development of catenary height and stagger measurement system. The catenary height and stagger measurement system uses Acuity company's AR4000 Range Finder for distance measurement and AccuRange Line Scanner for degree measurement. This system reports suspicious overhead line sections with excessive height and stagger variance.

The dimensional accuracy and consistency of a dual oil circuit centrifugal fuel nozzle are important for fuel distribution and combustion efficiency in an engine combustion chamber. A point cloud measurement method was proposed to solve the geometric accuracy detection problem for the fuel nozzle. An improved variance focus measure operator was used to extract the depth point cloud. Compared with other traditional sharpness evaluation functions, the improved operator can generate the best evaluation curve, and has the least noise and the shortest calculation time. The experimental results of point cloud slicing measurement show that the best window size is 24 × 24 pixels. In the height measurement experiment of the standard sample block, the relative error is 2.32%, and in the fuel nozzle cone angle measurement experiment, the relative error is 2.46%, which can meet the high precision requirements of a dual oil circuit centrifugal fuel nozzle.
