Calibration of measuring transducers for precision measurement is done by measuring voltage drop at the resistor standard, produced by output dc current proportional to the input measured value. Resistance fluctuations due to the temperature coefficient of the resistor standard are minor, thanks to the stable temperature conditions in laboratory environment. This fact brings the need to calculate the effect of resistor self-heating on its resistance. This thermal effect, produced by the flow of current through the resistor, is often disregarded. For the precise measurements this can be a significant source of error and must be quantified. This paper describes mathematical model of measurement error, resistor self-heating coefficient is defined, as it?s not usually given in product datasheets. The effect on measurement results is given in detail. Composite resistor standard prototype is described, made from off-the-shelf mass produced components, calculated and hand selected to cancel the self-heating coefficient effects. The prototype is compared to the existing commercially available high performance resistor standard.

This paper reports a newly achieved best result on the common emitter current gain of 4H-SiC high power bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). A fabricated 1600 V – 15 A 4H-SiC power BJT with an active area of 1.7 mm2 shows a high DC current gain (b) of 70, when it conducts 9.8 A collector current at a base current of only 140 mA. The maximum AC current gain (DIC/DIB) is up to 78. This high performance BJT has an open base collector-to-emitter blocking voltage (VCEO) of over 1674 V with a leakage current of 1.6 μA, and a specific on-resistance (RSP-ON) of 5.1 mW.cm2 when it conducts 7.0 A (412 A/cm2) at a forward voltage drop of VCE = 2.1 V. A large area 4H-SiC BJT with a footprint of 4.1 mm x 4.1 mm has also shown a DC current gain over 50. These high-gain, high-voltage and high-current 4H-SiC BJTs further support a promising future for 4H-SiC BJT applications.

This paper presents the measurement results of the dynamic tensile strength of a High Performance Concrete (HPC) obtained using full-field identification method. An ultra-high speed imaging system and the virtual fields method were used to obtain this information. Furthermore the measurement results were compared with the local point-wise measurement to validate the data pressing. The obtained spall strength was found to be consistently 20% lower than the one obtained when the Novikov formula is used.

4H-SiC Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and hybrid Darlington Transistors with 10 kV/10 A capability have been demonstrated for the first time. The SiC BJT (chip size: 0.75 cm2 with an active area of 0.336 cm2) conducts a collector current of 10 A (~ 30 A/cm2) with a forward voltage drop of 4.0 V (forced current gain βforced: 20) corresponding to a specific on-resistance of ~ 130 mΩ•cm2 at 25°C. The DC current gain, β, at a collector voltage of 15 V is measured to be 28 at a base current of 1 A. Both open emitter breakdown voltage (BVCBO) and open base breakdown voltage (BVCEO) of ~10 kV have been achieved. The 10 kV SiC Darlington transistor pair consists of a 10 A SiC BJT as the output device and a 1 A SiC BJT as the driver. The forward voltage drop of 4.5 V is measured at 10 A of collector current. The DC forced current gain at the collector voltage of 5.0 V was measured to be 440 at room temperature.

Performance in a job is very important because it will have an impact on the assessment and productivity of an employee, one of the indicators for evaluating high performance is related to concentration, execution speed and high productivity of the employee. Concentration is needed in working to prevent fatal accidents. In this study, it is possible to monitor measurement results via a smartphone, namely by using the Bluetooth HC-05 sensor as an integration to a smartphone. With 8 pushbutton, Arduino UNO microncontroller, Bluetooth HC-05, 16x2 LCD, and Buzzer. This tool works alternately when the push button Start is pressed, the power from the power supply will provide an electric current to the microncontroller, and continue to be connected to the Bluetooth HC-05, then by providing pushbuttons pressing input. Each pressing instruction on the pushbutton provides a different sound output, consisting of sound output, High, Mid, and Low. And continue on the LCD, and can display the results of the input that has been processed by the microcontroller. The output results are in the form of the amount of time displayed on the LCD, the sound from the buzzer, and from a series of work tools and the output results can be monitored via android smartphone.

High performance mixed potential type NO2 sensors using porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layers doped with different concentration graphite as solid electrolyte and LaFeO3 as sensing electrode were fabricated and characterized. LaFeO3 was prepared by a typical citrate sol–gel method and characterized using XRD. The surface morphology and porosity of porous YSZ layers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The sensor doped with 3 wt% graphite shows the highest response (−76.4 mV to 80 ppm NO2) and the response is linearly dependent on the logarithm of NO2 concentration in the range of 10–200 ppm. The sensor measurement results also present good repeatability and cross-sensitivity.

In order to characterize the process-induced distortions of 3D thin shell composites with complex shape, the multilayered biaxial weft knitted (MBWK) fabric reinforced high-performance composite helmet was selected as the research object, and the 3D laser scanning machine was used to scan the helmet surface, then the 3D scanning data was compared with the CAD model to evaluate the deformation. The results and discussion indicated that the conventional method was workable, but the speed of convergence was slow and the calculation results were easy to drop into local optimization. According to detailed analysis, a measurement method focusing on the principle of “Feature Distance” was developed. The measurement results shown that this method can not only give accurate results, but also reduce working procedure and greatly save the computing resources, which is proved to be a feasible approach for the deformation measurement foundation of 3D thin shell textile composites.

A new flexible and miniaturized power divider (PD), based on the Wilkinson PD topology, is carried out in this paper. Flexibility and size reduction are achieved simultaneously thanks to both an open-stub loading the input port and additional transmission lines (TLines) connecting the output ports to the isolation resistance. Design equations and rules are given. As a proof-of-concept, two PDs working at 2.45 GHz were fabricated and measured. Then, on the basis of the previous developments, a 1:4 power-dividing feeding network was realized. It highlights the high performance and flexibility of the proposed PD. Agreement between simulation and measurement results is very good, for PDs as well as for the feeding network, thus validating the proposed approach. This concept is straightforward to be applied at higher frequencies, in particular in the millimeter-wave range on CMOS technologies, where flexibility in the choice of the TLines characteristic impedances and size reduction are mandatory.

The major advantage of information-centric networking (ICN) lies in in-network caching. Ubiquitous cache nodes reduce the user’s download latency of content and the drain of network bandwidth, which enables efficient content distribution. Due to the huge cost of updating an entire network infrastructure, it is realistic for ICN to be integrated into an IP network, which poses new challenges to design a cache system and corresponding content router. In this paper, we firstly observed that the behavior pattern of data requests based on a name resolution system (NRS) makes an ICN cache system implicitly form a hierarchical and nested structure. We propose a complete design and an analytical model to characterize an uncooperative hierarchical ICN caching system compatible with IP. Secondly, to facilitate the incremental deployment of an ICN cache system in an IP network, we designed and implemented a cache-supported router with multi-terabyte cache capabilities. Finally, the simulation and measurement results show the accuracy of proposed analytical model, the significant gains on hit ratio, and the access latency of the hierarchical ICN cache system compared with a flat cache system based on naming routing, as well as the high performance of the implemented ICN router.
