The AE measurement is one of the most convenient methods for detecting contacts between the slider and the disk. The AE method has been widely used in the investigation of the tribology of sliding interfaces due to its convenience. We examined the relationship between the AE signal and the flying height of a slider. We investigated the influence of the disk linear velocity on the AE rms signal by using the AE measurement system. The experiment also gives the relationship between the take-off velocity and the disk surface conditions. To investigate the behavior of the slider further, the variances of the AE signals are analyzed. The experimental results indicate that the increase in the magnitude of the AE rms signal does not necessarily mean the slider/disk contacts.

The AE measurement is one of the most convenient methods for detecting contacts between slider disk. The AE method has been widely used in the investigation of the tribology of sliding interfaces due to the convenience of using AE sensor. In this study, we examined the relationship between the AE signal and the flying height of a slider. We tried to know the influence of the disk velocity on the AE rms signal by using the AE measurement system. The experiment also gives the relationship between the take-off velocity and the disk surface state. To investigate the behavior of the slider further, the variances of the AE signal are analyzed. The results about a subambient pressure slider indicate that the increase in the magnitude of AE rms signal does not necessarily mean the slider/disk contacts.

This study was conducted to select the sensors for measuring temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity among the major environmental factors affecting the pig productivity as a part of the study for the optimum production system model development of pig-housing. The study results are summarized as the follows : Two sensors , HMP233L and HANI, were tested for measuring temperature and relative humidity , Test results were analyzed by the statistical methods. And the sensor, HMP233L was selected as a proper sensor for temperature sand relative humidity measurement . An air velocity sensor was tested. Test results showed that its accuracy was low and incongruent for the air velocity measurement when it was lower than 4m/s.

Frequency of cavity vibration in air flowing tube is closely related to a velocity of air. In this research, an instrumentation system to estimate frequency of cavity vibration for measurement of the velocity and quantity of a moving fluid is implemented by using DSP TMS320C32. Measurement of the generated sound wave frequency in cavity is difficult because of environmental noise. Adaptive filters are used to eliminate this noise effectively. The estimated velocity and quantity of a moving fluid by proposed system is compared with the results measured by a standard flow meter.

We measured the permittivity and electromagnetic wave propagation velocity of used insulation oil with wide frequency range including ultra-high frequency by time domain reflectometry. The permittivity or propagation velocity is essential for locating discharge faults of oil filled power transformer. We derived 2.21 as a permittivity and $2.03{\times}10^8 m/s$ as a velocity from the measurement of pulse travelling time along a coaxial line filled with used insulation oil or air. The permittivity measurement system we designed shows high measurement accuracy and the convenience for field use.

Temperature of board surface was monitored during drying using an IR image measurement system. Boards were water-saturated and dried at the levels of four temperatures and three air velocities. At higher DB the surface temperature increased more steeply and level off period was significantly short. At the DB temperatures of 70, 80, $90^{\circ}C$ the period where the surface temperature was equivalent to WB temperature was constant regardless of air velocity while at $60^{\circ}C$ it decreased as air velocity increased. It was confirmed that a surface transfer coefficient increased with DB temperature. Variation of temperature profile on a wood surface increased with DB temperature and air velocity.

Magnetically suspended sensitive gyroscopes (MSSGs) provide an interesting alternative for achieving precious attitude angular measurement. To effectively reduce the measurement error caused by the non-uniformity of the air-gap flux density in a MSSG, this paper proposes a novel compensation method based on measuring and modeling of the air-gap flux density. The angular velocity measurement principle and the structure of the MSSG are described, and then the characteristic of the air-gap flux density has been analyzed in detail. Next, to compensate the flux density distribution error and improve the measurement accuracy of the MSSG, a real-time compensation method based on the online measurement with hall probes is designed. The common issues caused by the non-uniformity of the air-gap flux density can be effectively resolved by the proposed method in high-precision magnetically suspended configurations. Comparative simulation results before and after compensation have verified the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed compensation method.

For the purpose of evaluating the thermal performance for air-barrier air conditioning system in perimeter zone, two air-conditioning systems, conventional perimeter air-conditioning system and air-barrier system, are evaluated and compared by scale model experiment and simulation during cooling season. As a result, measurement shows that supply air velocity of 1 m/s in the upstream direction at perimeter is more effective. Air-barrier system could reduce the cooling energy by $10\sim20\%$ compared with conventional system. Numerical simulation was carried out considering solar effect for reliable result. This method has improved the accuracy of numerical simulation for the space affected by the solar radiation. Both measurement and simulation results show that supply air velocity of 1 m/s at perimeter is the most effective.

Respiratory tubes with a length of 35mm and diameters of 10, 15, and 20mm were made for experimental purpose, and both the static$(P_s)\;and\;dynamic(P_D)$ pressures were simultaneously measured for steady flow rates ranging 1-12//sec. Least squares analysis resulted successful fitting of $P_s\;and\;P_D$ data with quadratic equations with correlation coefficients higher than 0.99(P<0.0001). The spirometric measurement standards of the American Thoracic Society(ATS) were applied to $P_s$ data, which demonstrated the smallest tube diameter of 15mm to satisfy the ATS standards. The maximum $P_D$ value of the velocity type transducer(the functional single use respiratory air flow tube) with the diameter of 15mm was estimated to be approximately $75cmH_2O$, implying more than 7 times larger sensitivity than the widely used pneumotachometers. These results showed that the velocity type respiratory air flow transducer is a unique device accomplishing miniaturization with the sensitivity increased, thus would be of great advantage to develop portable medical devices.

The paper presents the wireless wind chill temperature measurement system that is composed of IEEE 802.15.4 standard wireless communication devices, hot film anemometer and serial communication temperature sensor. It's sometimes very difficult for a person, who lives in a high-rise apartment, to see the outside wind chill temperature due to harsh outside weather. The wind chill temperature is calibrated from an air velocity and air temperature. IEEE 802.15.4 standard wireless communication is ZigBee compatible, and consumes low power in communication. Under the air temperature of 5 $^{\circ}C$ and air velocity ranging from 0 to 50 km/h, the experimental result of wind chill temperature shows good accuracy within 5%.
