We propose a transverse load sensor with reconfigurable measurement accuracy based on a microwave photonic filter in the $K_u$ band, incorporating a polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating. A prototype sensor with a reconfigurable measurement accuracy tuning range from 6.09 to 9.56 GHz/(N/mm), and corresponding minimal detectable load range from 0.0167 to 0.0263 N/mm, is experimentally demonstrated. The results illustrate that up to 40% manufacturing error in the grating length can be dynamically calibrated to the same corresponding measurement accuracy for the proposed transverse load sensor, by controlling the semiconductor optical amplifier's injection current in the range of 154 to 419 mA.

In this paper, an experimental study was conducted on the performance of the cooling tower. In order to improve reliability in the cooling tower performance test, the measurement uncertainty of the instrument was estimated. Measurement uncertainty refers to the uncertainty of a measurement, estimates the range in which the expected value of the measurement can be within a certain confidence level, and suggests a range in which the measured representative value is incorrect. Therefore, the measurement result of the performance experiment is not an actual value, but a reasonable estimated value. The measurement uncertainty for the test was calculated and the measured results were presented.

A new laser diode range-finding speedometer is proposed, which is modulated by a pair of positive and negative triangular pulse current superimposed on a dc current. Since a target velocity is directly obtained form a pure Doppler beat frequency measured during the non-modulation period, the new sensor is free from the difficulties due to the critical velocity encountered in the previous sensor. Furthermore, the different amplitude of the two triangular pluses are so adjusted that the measurable range using only one laser head is greatly expanded to 10cm through 150cm, which is about two times that of the previous sensor. The measurement accuracy for velocity of .+-.6mm/s through .+-.20mm/s and for range is about 1%, and 2%, respectively. Because the new sensor can be operated automatically using a microcomputer, it will be useful for application of a 3-D range image measurement of a slowly moving object.

In order to improve the accuracy of charged-particle radiation therapy, the beam energy was measured precisely using a TOF-system, and the range using a counter telescope system. A Si detector and a Ge detector were used to estimate the range straggling as a $\Delta$E and an E detector, respectively, because they have good energy resolution and the output pulse heights don't depend on the atomic number of detected particles. The results were compared with the theoretical values by a calculation code.

The squareness measurement of driving axes of a machine tool is very important to evaluate the performance of the machine. Laser interferometer measurement system is one of the most reliable equipment to measure the squareness. However, squareness measurement using laser system with an optical square result in restriction of straightness optics setup and Abbe's offset. This offset combines with angular errors during the motion of an axis to cause Abbe's error. In addition, the difficulty in optical square setup causes restriction of other optics and limitation of measurable range. In this paper, mathematical approaches are presented to eliminate the Abbe's error and to estimate squareness for full range by using the best fit of straightness data measured without an optical square. Experiments for squareness measurement of 3 axis machine tool were conducted and the proposed techniques were used for squareness evaluation with elimination of Abbe's error and squareness estimation for the full travel range.

Smoke emissions from light duty diesel vehicles were measured using light extinction method with the free acceleration test mode. The smoke emissions for each measurement cycle of the free acceleration method showed large variations according to driver's pedal pushing pattern. The smoke values for each measurement cycle initially increased and reach a peak value. Integration of the smoke emissions with time for each measurement cycle was performed to get a representative smoke value which was obtained by averaging the integrated results. Two kinds of integration time range were used. One is range over the whole measurement cycle of the free acceleration method. The other is only the acceleration range in the measurement cycle. Overall, variation of the representative smoke values obtained by the integration method was reduced comparing to the traditional representative smoke value which was obtained from a peak smoke value over the measurement cycle. Ten vehicles of the same model with 2.5 liter diesel engines, and seven vehicles of the same model with 2.7 liter diesel engines, were tested using the free acceleration test method.

Demand for high precision measurement of large area is increasing in many industrial fields. White-light Scanning Interferometer(WSI) is a well-known method for 3D profile measurement. However WSI has some limitations in a measurement range because of the sensing mechanism. Therefore, in this paper we use a heterodyne laser interferometer to get over the limitations of a short measurement range in WSI, We suggest a new WSI system combined with heterodyne laser interferometer. This system is aimed at eliminating Abbe error with measuring the focus point directly. With the use of triggering functionality of WSI, we can use this system as a probe of a precision stage such as a probe of CMM. The suggested system gives a repeatability of 87 nm in the absolute distance measurement test under the laboratory environment.

Nowadays, the two microphone method is accepted as the standard as specified in ASTM E1050-90 for measuring in-duct acoustic properties. However, research results on using the least square method with multiple measurement points and broadband excitation have been reported for enhancing the frequency response of the two microphone method. In this paper, the effects of varying the relative measurement positions on errors in the estimation of the acoustic quantities is studied for the multiple microphone method. Both of the theoretical and experimental results show that, among every possible sensor positioning configurations, the equidistant positioning of sensors yields the smallest error within the effective measurement frequency range. In addition, it is noted that the measurement accuracy can be increased and the effective frequency range can be widened by increasing the number of equidistant sensors. Measurement examples are shown and the results support the findings.
