Context. To improve the noise immunity of communication and data transmission systems, error-correcting coding is widely used. The most common because of their effectiveness are block coding methods. Under conditions of partial a priori uncertainty of the type and parameters of encoding, before decoding the digital sequence, a preliminary analysis is carried out to determine them. In block coding, to determine the period of a digital sequence caused by the addition of a sync sequence to it, and which can determine the type and parameters of coding, a common approach is to use their correlation properties. Objective. The object of the research is the presentation of periodicity search algorithms in digital sequences with block errorcorrecting coding under conditions of partial a priori uncertainty of the type and parameters of the error-correcting code. Method. The article presents two periodicity search algorithms in digital sequences with block coding and describes the principle of their operation. The basis of one algorithm is the calculation of the autocorrelation function, the basis of the other is calculation of the cross-correlation function. It is shown that the length of the digital sequence should be twice as long as the maximum possible period. The operation of both algorithms is illustrated by examples. Results. Based on the proposed algorithms, special software has been developed. The results of determining the period of digital sequences with block error-correcting coding at different values of the period confirmed the efficiency of the proposed algorithms. Both proposed algorithms give approximately the same result. Experimental dependences of the calculation time of auto- and crosscorrelation functions from the length of the digital sequence and the maximum possible period are established. The period search algorithm in a digital sequence, that use the cross-correlation function of its components, is more efficient due to fewer calculations. Conclusions. For the first time, two periodicity search algorithms in digital sequences with block error-correcting based on the determination of their correlation functions are obtained. The application of the developed algorithms in practice allows, under partial a priori uncertainty of the type and parameters of the error-correcting code, to determine the period of digital sequences in real time even at large values of the period, and based on it, to identify the type and parameters of block error-correcting codes.

In μPIV, for a uniform velocity field the displacement of the cross-correlation function gives the velocity of the fluid and the broadening of the peak-width represents the amount of Brownian motion present. In the presence of a linear or a parabolic shear, the shape of the cross-correlation function would have both the Brownian motion information as well as the velocity distribution information. In the present work, the broadening of the cross-correlation function caused by the velocity gradient was subtracted from the total peak broadening in order to isolate the Brownian motion information and thus infer temperature. To the authors' knowledge, this technique has not been applied to measure the temperature of a moving fluid. The experiments were conducted in a gravity driven flow through a tube surrounded by a constant temperature water bath.

A new method for structural damage detection based on the Cross Correlation Function Amplitude Vector (CorV) of the measured vibration responses is presented. Under a stationary random excitation with a specific frequency spectrum, the CorV of the structure only depends on the frequency response function matrix of the structure, so the normalized CorV has a specific shape. Thus the damage can be detected and located with the correlativity and the relative difference between CorVs of the intact and damaged structures. With the benchmark problem sponsored by ASCE Task Group on Structural Health Monitoring, the CorV is proved an effective approach to detecting the damage in structures subject to random excitations.

Context. The discovery of Proxima b marked one of the most important milestones in exoplanetary science in recent years. Yet the limited precision of the available radial velocity data and the difficulty in modelling the stellar activity calls for a confirmation of the Earth-mass planet. Aims. We aim to confirm the presence of Proxima b using independent measurements obtained with the new ESPRESSO spectrograph, and refine the planetary parameters taking advantage of its improved precision. Methods. We analysed 63 spectroscopic ESPRESSO observations of Proxima (Gl 551) taken during 2019. We obtained radial velocity measurements with a typical radial velocity photon noise of 26 cm s−1. We combined these data with archival spectroscopic observations and newly obtained photometric measurements to model the stellar activity signals and disentangle them from planetary signals in the radial velocity (RV) data. We ran a joint Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis on the time series of the RV and full width half maximum of the cross-correlation function to model the planetary and stellar signals present in the data, applying Gaussian process regression to deal with the stellar activity signals. Results. We confirm the presence of Proxima b independently in the ESPRESSO data and in the combined ESPRESSO+ HARPS+UVES dataset. The ESPRESSO data on its own shows Proxima b at a period of 11.218 ± 0.029 days, with a minimum mass of 1.29 ± 0.13 M⊕. In the combined dataset we measure a period of 11.18427 ± 0.00070 days with a minimum mass of 1.173 ± 0.086 M⊕. We get a clear measurement of the stellar rotation period (87 ± 12 d) and its induced RV signal, but no evidence of stellar activity as a potential cause for the 11.2 days signal. We find some evidence for the presence of a second short-period signal, at 5.15 days with a semi-amplitude of only 40 cm s−1. If caused by a planetary companion, it would correspond to a minimum mass of 0.29 ± 0.08 M⊕. We find that forthe case of Proxima, the full width half maximum of the cross-correlation function can be used as a proxy for the brightness changes and that its gradient with time can be used to successfully detrend the RV data from part of the influence of stellar activity. The activity-induced RV signal in the ESPRESSO data shows a trend in amplitude towards redder wavelengths. Velocities measured using the red end of the spectrograph are less affected by activity, suggesting that the stellar activity is spot dominated. This could be used to create differential RVs that are activity dominated and can be used to disentangle activity-induced and planetary-induced signals. The data collected excludes the presence of extra companions with masses above 0.6 M⊕ at periods shorter than 50 days.
