This paper designed a bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) measurement system based on the integrated impedance converter AD5933. The working principle of the AD5933 was briefly introduced, and a bipolar BIS measurement device was designed. The AD5933 can be controlled by MCU STC89LE516AD through an I2C bus. The software of the BIS device was written in C51 language and provides a friendly human-machine interface. Preliminary experiment showed that the impedance measurement error at different frequencies is less than 3% and found that the measurement accuracy is relatively high for larger resistor.

Bioelectrical impedance measurement is a widely used biomedical detecting technology. However, most traditional bioelectrical impedance measurement devices are bulky, expensive and lack of flexibility. In order to reduce costs, increase flexibility and maintain similar performance, a portable bioelectrical impedance measurement system was designed in this paper. The measurement front, with an ARM based microcontroller and integrated impedance converter chip as its core device, communicated with the host computer via USB bus. Based on the four-electrode technique, DFT digital demodulation and software calibration and compensation algorithm, the system realized its functions. Experimental results indicate that the system can achieve high precision bioelectrical impedance measurement. With the advantage of high integration and low-cost, the system can be widely used in household healthcare, clinics and biomedical research and testing.

Wheel diameter is a significant geometric parameter related to the safe operation of trains, and needs to be measured dynamically. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, most existing dynamic measurement methods and systems do not meet the requirement that the wheel diameter measurement error for the high-speed vehicle is less than 0.3 mm. In this paper, a simple method for dynamically and precisely measuring train wheel diameter using three one-dimensional laser displacement transducers (1D-LDTs) is proposed for the first time, and a corresponding measurement system which was developed is described. The factors that affect the measurement accuracy were analyzed. As a main factor, rail deformation caused by the wheel-rail interaction force at low (20 km/h) and high (300 km/h) speeds was determined based on the combination of multi-body dynamics and finite element methods, and the effect of rail deformation on measurement accuracy is greatly reduced by a comparative measurement. Field experiments were performed to verify the performance of the developed measurement system, and the results of the repeatability error and measurement error of the system were both less than 0.3 mm, which meets the requirement of wheel diameter measurements for high-speed vehicles.

The two-axis gimbaled antenna’s performance can be greatly improved if it is statically balanced. This paper intends to present a novel design of a measurement system for use in statically balancing a two-axis gimbaled antenna mounted on an aircraft. The details of the measurement system and its working principle are explained, including the dynamics of the two-degree-of-freedom flexure-hinge leverage and the control configuration of the measurement system. The measurement principle is proposed after the theoretical measurement uncertainties estimated and the key factors that determine the measurement accuracy are found. By controlling the uncertainty induced from the major factors, the measurement accuracy can be finally controlled. The measurement result is proved sufficiently accurate by means of High-speed centrifuge method.
