The Research Instrumentation course was designed to provide the fundamentals of electronic instrument operation and design to those graduate researchers with little or no electrical engineering background. Research students need this training to obtain an understanding of how their measurement systems function and how to interpret their experimental results, which are largely acted upon and perhaps modified by systems involving transducers, signal processors, and input-output devices. This course has evolved into an integrated lecture, laboratory, demonstration package which teaches the basic principles of electronic instrumentation.

The immune genetic algorithm is a kind of heuristic algorithm which simulates the biological immune system and introduces the genetic operator to its immune operator. Conquering the inherent defects of genetic algorithm that the convergence direction can not be easily controlled so as to result in the prematureness;it is characterized by a better global search and memory ability. The basic principles and solving steps of the immune genetic algorithm are briefly introduced in this paper. The immune genetic algorithm is applied to the survey data processing and experimental results show that this method can be practicably and effectively applied to the survey data processing.

The previous encryption methods of hospital financial data have the problem of overburden. Therefore, a research study on hybrid encryption of hospital financial data based on Noekeon algorithm is proposed. From the basic principles of the Noekeon algorithm and the application and implementation of the Noekeon algorithm, a hybrid encryption scheme for hospital financial data based on the Noekeon algorithm is designed. In order to improve the security of the encryption system, the RSA algorithm is used to encrypt the encrypted content twice. The hybrid algorithm realizes the hybrid encryption of the hospital's financial data. Finally, a hybrid encryption system for hospital financial data based on Noekeon algorithm is designed. Experimental results show that this method has a higher success rate and better comprehensive performance. It not only improves the encryption efficiency of hospital financial data but also enhances the security of hospital financial data, which has greater application value.

AbstractCurrent attempts to understand human-machine systems are complex and unwieldy. Multiple disciplines throw different concepts and constructs at the problem, but there is no agreed-to framework to assemble these interrelated moving parts into a coherent system. We propose interdependence as the common factor that unifies and explains these moving parts and undergirds the different terms people use to talk about them. In this chapter, we will describe a sound and practical theoretical framework based on interdependence that enables researchers to predict and explain experimental results in terms of interlocking relationships among well-defined operational principles. Our exposition is not intended to be exhaustive, but instead aims to describe the basic principles in a way that allows the gist to be grasped by a broad cross-disciplinary audience through simple illustrations.

This paper proposes a Support Vector Regression (SVR) based on Fuzzified Input-output Variables which has good comprehensibility as well as satisfactory generalization capability. SVM provides a mechanism to predict data from training ones. Then, results from proposed Fuzzified SVR-PSO (FSVR-PSO) model are compared with other methods; comparative tests are performed using pipe failures data. The analysis and the experimental results show this method has high comprehensibility as well as satisfactory generalization capability.

Digital prototypes (DPs) allow designers to communicate design concepts to users by rendering physical characteristics of the concepts. To enhance user understanding of the concepts, it is important that the users be able to make better estimates of the values of the characteristics. Correctness of the estimates can depend on two crucial factors: the ability of DPs to render the physical characteristics and the way the DPs are used to communicate the physical characteristics. However, little attention has been paid to the latter. A DP can be used in different ways, e.g., it can be projected on different backgrounds, or be manipulated using different input/output devices. Hence, it is important to identify an effective way of using DPs, via an assessment of the effectiveness of various ways. This paper introduces a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of communication of physical characteristics to users using DPs. The methodology is used to assess the degree to which users can correctly and quickly estimate the values of the characteristics through interactions with DPs. Such assessments are then analyzed with statistical methods and hypothesis tests to reveal the effectiveness. To validate the proposed methodology, the size of hand-held electronic consumer products, such as smartphones, is considered in a case study. In the study, the effectiveness of two communication setups is evaluated. The same DP is used in both setups, while the environments and input devices are different. The experimental results show that the evaluated effectiveness can reflect how successful the setups are, and can help select the best way of using the DP, i.e., by providing a better environment, a better input device, or a combination of both.

To improve the pertinence and accuracy of grating image barcode detection, a method based on Hough transform and morphological operation about grating image full-barcode correction and extraction is proposed. The basic principles of Canny edge detection, Hough transform and morphological operation are introduced. Non full-barcode can be eliminated after Canny detection and morphological operation. The level correction can be finished by using Hough transform to detect the full-barcode edge lines and get the correction angle. The full-barcode extraction can be achieved after the dilation of correction grating image and the reduction of free defects. The experimental results show that not only the non full-barcodes and free defects can be better filtered, but also we can accurately accomplish the correction and extraction of the full-barcodes.

The design of a flexibly mounted journal-bearing apparatus is described, and it is shown how the experimental results may be used to generate stability charts for design. For reasons of simplicity in demonstrating the basic principles, this work has been carried out using a plain circular air bearing. The underlying theory, however, is common to all journal-bearing systems, and it is intended to extend the experimental method to liquid-lubricated bearings and non-circular profiles. In addition to the stability data which have been obtained, the apparatus has enabled a detailed study of the phenomenon of whirl cessation.

The VIP (Violation of the Pauli Exclusion Principle) experiment is investigating one of the basic principles of modern physics, searching for anomalous X-rays emitted by copper atoms in a conductor: any detection of these anomalous X-rays would mark a Pauli forbidden transition. VIP is currently taking data at the Gran Sasso underground laboratories, and its scientific goal is to improve by three-four orders of magnitude the previous limit on the probability of Pauli violating transitions, bringing it into the 10-29÷-30 region. The new experimental results, together with future plans, are presented.

A plastic tubes used as absorber of active flat plate solar collector (FPSC) for heating water were studied numerically and experimentally. The set-up is located in Babylon (republic of Iraq) 43.80 East longitude and 32.30 North latitude with titled of 450 toward the south direction.  The study involved three dimensions mathematical model for flat coil plastic absorber which solved by FLUENT-ANSYS-R.18 program. Experiments were conducted at outdoor conditions for clear days on January and February 2018 with various water volume flow rates namely (500, 750, 1000, 1250, and 1500 Liter per hour LPH) on each month for Reynolds number range of (1 x 104 to 5 x 104) through the receiver. The experimental results showed improvement in absorber input - output temperature difference, collector efficiency, and water storage temperature; the maximum input - output temperature difference is 3.1 °C, the maximum collector efficiency is 79%, and the maximum water storage temperature is 67 °C. The comparison validates a good agreement between the numerical and experimental results at variable operation conditions with maximum deviation of 4.2%. Also the experimental results were compared with previous study for similar condition and gave a good improvement.
