We developed routines for intensity, equivalent width, and radial velocity measurements on CES plus reticon spectra obtained with the ESO 1.4m telescope. In order to achieve the optimal recovery of the signal, the noise has to be minimized by removing any parasitical effect. Special care has been devoted to the correction for remanence effects in the reticon dark counts. Typical results are presented and discussed.

A commercial interferometer has been modified for high resolution gas phase work by addition of a variable temperature cell of 3 m path length. The data reduction method is described, and examples of the performance are given. Two rotation-vibration bands of diacetylene, ν9 and ν7-ν9, have been analyzed to yield ν9=220.139(5), ν7=482.13(1), and B0 = 0.14649(7) cm-1.

In telepresence and teleaction (TPTA) systems, the transmission of haptic signals puts high demands on the applied signal processing and communication procedures. When running a TPTA session across a packet-based communication network (e.g., the Internet), minimizing the end-to-end delay results in packet rates of up to the applied sampling rate of the local control loops at the human system interface and the teleoperator. The perceptual deadband data reduction approach for haptic signals successfully addresses the challenge of high packet rates in networked TPTA systems and satisfies the strict delay constraints. In this paper, we extend the underlying perceptual model of the deadband approach by incorporating psychophysical findings on human force-feedback discrimination during operators' relative hand movements. By applying velocity-dependent perception thresholds to the deadband approach, we observe further improvement in efficiency and performance due to improved adaption to human haptic perception thresholds. The psychophysical experiments conducted reveal improved data reduction performance of our proposed haptic perceptual coding scheme without impairing the user experience. Our results show a high data reduction ability of up to 96% without affecting system transparency or the operator's task performance.

This paper describes an improved data reduction scheme for the deep-hole method of residual stress measurement. The deep-hole method uses the changes in diameter of a reference hole, drilled through the thickness of a component, to determine residual stress. The diameter changes result from the removal of a cylindrical core from the component, where the core is larger than and concentric with the reference hole. The new data reduction seeks to determine the unknown eigenstrain distribution that gives rise to the residual stress state and to the reference hole deformations; once the eigenstrain distribution is found, it is input to an elastic finite element analysis to provide the residual stress distribution in the original component. The new data reduction relies on expressing the unknown eigenstrain field in a polynomial basis, and finding the unknown basis function amplitudes from the measured reference hole diameter changes. The new data reduction is compared with the current technique, and it is shown that the proposed scheme offers several advantages to the current method of data reduction.
