Abstract In time domain reflectometry (TDR), the main emphasis lies on the reflected waveform. Poor probing contact is one of the common problems in getting an accurate waveform. TDR probe normalization is essential before measuring any TDR waveforms. The advantages of normalization include removal of test setup errors in the original test pulse and the establishment of a measurement reference plane. This article presents two case histories. The first case is about a Plastic Ball Grid Array package consisting of 352 solder balls where the open failure mode was encountered at various terminals after reliability assessment. In the second, a three-digit display LED suspected of an electrical short failure was analyzed using TDR as a fault isolation tool. TDR has been successfully used to perform non-destructive fault isolation in assisting the routine failure analysis of open and short failure. It is shown to be accurate and reduces the time needed to identify fault locations.

Recent studies indicate that the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) aboard the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite provides valuable information about ocean phytoplankton distributions. CALIOP’s attenuated backscatter coefficients, measured at 532 nm in receiver channels oriented parallel and perpendicular to the laser’s linear polarization plane, are significantly improved in the Version 4 data product. However, due to non-ideal instrument effects, a small fraction of the backscattered optical power polarized parallel to the receiver polarization reference plane is misdirected into the perpendicular channel, and vice versa. This effect, known as polarization crosstalk, typically causes the measured perpendicular signal to be higher than its true value and the measured parallel signal to be lower than its true value. Therefore, the ocean optical properties derived directly from CALIOP’s measured signals will be biased if the polarization crosstalk effect is not taken into account. This paper presents methods that can be used to estimate the CALIOP crosstalk effects from on-orbit measurements. The global ocean depolarization ratios calculated both before and after removing the crosstalk effects are compared. Using CALIOP crosstalk-corrected signals is highly recommended for all ocean subsurface studies.

Aims. The barycentric dynamics of the Sun has increasingly been attracting the attention of researchers from several fields, due to the idea that interactions between the Sun’s orbital motion and solar internal functioning could be possible. Existing high-precision ephemerides that have been used for that purpose do not include the effects of trans-Neptunian bodies, which cause a significant offset in the definition of the solar system’s barycentre. In addition, the majority of the dynamical parameters of the solar barycentric orbit are not routinely calculated according to these ephemerides or are not publicly available. Methods. We developed a special version of the IAA RAS lunar–solar–planetary ephemerides, EPM2017H, to cover the whole Holocene and 1 kyr into the future. We studied the basic and derived (e.g., orbital torque) barycentric dynamical quantities of the Sun for that time span. A harmonic analysis (which involves an application of VSOP2013 and TOP2013 planetary theories) was performed on these parameters to obtain a physics-based interpretation of the main periodicities present in the solar barycentric movement. Results. We present a high-precision solar barycentric orbit and derived dynamical parameters (using the solar system’s invariable plane as the reference plane), widely accessible for the whole Holocene and 1 kyr in the future. Several particularities and barycentric phenomena are presented and explained on dynamical bases. A comparison with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory DE431 ephemeris, whose main differences arise from the modelling of trans-Neptunian bodies, shows significant discrepancies in several parameters (i.e., not only limited to angular elements) related to the solar barycentric dynamics. In addition, we identify the main periodicities of the Sun’s barycentric movement and the main giant planets perturbations related to them.

SUMMARYAn S-R-S (Spherical-Revolute-Spherical) redundant manipulator is similar to a human arm and is often used to perform dexterous tasks. To solve the inverse kinematics analytically, the arm-angle was usually used to parameterise the self-motion. However, the previous studies have had shortcomings; some methods cannot avoid algorithm singularity and some are unsuitable for configuration control because they use a temporary reference plane. In this paper, we propose a method of analytical inverse kinematics resolution based on dual arm-angle parameterisation. By making use of two orthogonal vectors to define two absolute reference planes, we obtain two arm angles that satisfy a specific condition. The algorithm singularity problem is avoided because there is always at least one arm angle to represent the redundancy. The dual arm angle method overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods and retains the advantages of the arm angle. Another contribution of this paper is the derivation of the absolute reference attitude matrix, which is the key to the resolution of analytical inverse kinematics but has not been previously addressed. The simulation results for typical cases that include the algorithm singularity condition verified our method.
