Synchronous sampling allows alternating current (AC) quantities, such as the root mean square (RMS) values of voltage and power, to be determined with very low uncertainties (on the order of a few parts of 10-6 [1]). In this a new mathematical expression for estimating measurement uncertainties in non ideal synchronization with fundamental frequency AC signals is presented. The obtained results were compared with those obtained with a high-precision instrument for measuring basic AC values. Computer simulation demonstrating the effectiveness of these new expression, are also presented.

A new bearing torque rig capable of qualifying and analyzing bearing torque signals for large-bore high-precision bearings is described. The servomechanical subsystem responsible for torque definition within ± 5.9 × 10−4 Nm is also described. In addition to a space proven lubricant, two lubricants were tested in this rig: KG-80 oil and Polyfluoralkylalkyl polysiloxane grease. Tests were conducted on short-time basis in open air conditions. All three lubricants were tested in a 100 mm bore high-precision angular ball bearing, with and without ball retainer. The bearing was operated at various loads and speeds. Dependence on torque and Root Mean Square-torque as function of lubricant quantity are established. Data trend reveals the existence of a region of minimum torque for oil-retainer bearing configurations. Data also imply the feasability of using the two aforementioned lubricants and the full ball complement configuration in DMA-type applications.

Piezoelectric actuators (PEA) are devices that are used for nano- microdisplacement due to their high precision, but one of the major issues is the non-linearity phenomena caused by the hysteresis effect, which diminishes the positioning performance. This study presents a novel control structure in order to reduce the hysteresis effect and increase the PEA performance by using a fuzzy logic control (FLC) combined with a Hammerstein–Wiener (HW) black-box mapping as a feedforward (FF) compensation. In this research, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) was contrasted with an FLC. From this comparison, the most accurate was taken and tested with a complex structure with HW-FF to verify the accuracy with the increment of complexity. All of the structures were implemented in a dSpace platform to control a commercial Thorlabs PEA. The tests have shown that an FLC combined with HW was the most accurate, since the FF compensate the hysteresis and the FLC reduced the errors; the integral of the absolute error (IAE), the root-mean-square error (RMSE), and relative root-mean-square-error (RRMSE) for this case were reduced by several magnitude orders when compared to the feedback structures. As a conclusion, a complex structure with a novel combination of FLC and HW-FF provided an increment in the accuracy for a high-precision PEA.

In the dedicated high-precision power quality analyzer, synchronous sampling is required to reduce the effect of spectrum leakage produced by the discrete Fourier transform process. Thus, accurate fundamental frequency measurement is urgently needed. However, due to the harmonics and noise in the power signal, it is difficult to achieve the accurate fundamental frequency measurement. Moreover, with the wide application of high-frequency programmable power supply, the fundamental frequency is gradually increasing, which requires power analyzers to have the abilities of both high precision and a wide range of the fundamental frequency measurement. To solve these issues, a new fundamental frequency measurement architecture used in synchronous sampling is proposed. This architecture consists of a small-point fast Fourier transform module, spectrum refinement algorithm, and a multimodal optimization method to calculate the accurate fundamental frequency under large harmonic conditions. In the practical hardware platform results, this architecture has a large fundamental frequency measurement range from 20 Hz to 200 kHz with a relative error which is <0.004%. The wideband fundamental frequency measurement structure proposed in this article achieves high measurement accuracy.

For Magnetic Suspension Gyro-total-station has vulnerable to outside interference factors, there are some random drifting containing in measurements which are unable to establish its mathematical model. Vondrak filter which does not require the model is used to pre-process measurements of Magnetic Suspension Gyro-total-station. In this paper a high-precision astronomical baseline is established in Xi'an, and the gyro azimuth is tested eight times in baseline. 40,000 north-seeking torque of the first and second place is filtered by the Vondrak filter for each test. The results show that the burr of data is reduced after filtered, and the filtered values reflect the trends of gyro north-seeking. Compared with the root mean square (RMS) of the measurements, RMS of Vondrak filter is decreased, the data is denser. Vondrak filter can effectively eliminate the random drifting containing in measurements, retain useful information in the maximum extent, and improve the accuracy of true north azimuth.

With the increase in the frequency of extreme weather events in recent years, apple growing areas in the Loess Plateau frequently encounter frost during flowering. Accurately assessing the frost loss in orchards during the flowering period is of great significance for optimizing disaster prevention measures, market apple price regulation, agricultural insurance, and government subsidy programs. The previous research on orchard frost disasters is mainly focused on early risk warning. Therefore, to effectively quantify orchard frost loss, this paper proposes a frost loss assessment model constructed using meteorological and remote sensing information and applies this model to the regional-scale assessment of orchard fruit loss after frost. As an example, this article examines a frost event that occurred during the apple flowering period in Luochuan County, Northwestern China, on 17 April 2020. A multivariable linear regression (MLR) model was constructed based on the orchard planting years, the number of flowering days, and the chill accumulation before frost, as well as the minimum temperature and daily temperature difference on the day of frost. Then, the model simulation accuracy was verified using the leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) method, and the coefficient of determination (R2), the root mean square error (RMSE), and the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) were 0.69, 18.76%, and 18.76%, respectively. Additionally, the extended Fourier amplitude sensitivity test (EFAST) method was used for the sensitivity analysis of the model parameters. The results show that the simulated apple orchard fruit number reduction ratio is highly sensitive to the minimum temperature on the day of frost, and the chill accumulation and planting years before the frost, with sensitivity values of ≥0.74, ≥0.25, and ≥0.15, respectively. This research can not only assist governments in optimizing traditional orchard frost prevention measures and market price regulation but can also provide a reference for agricultural insurance companies to formulate plans for compensation after frost.
