To solve the writing and reading operation conflict to RAM in LED/LCD display control system, a new RAM operation conflict arbiter IC was proposed. Comparing the traditional dual ports RAM, the IC has the advantages of low-cost and high stability. By analyzing the working principle and structure design, the IC was designed in pure digital way with Verilog HDL, and passed the simulation verify. Finally the IC was realized by Alter FPGA chip and passed the actual test.

In this work, we demonstrate the potential of a piezoelectric resonator for developing a low-cost sensor system to detect microscopic particles in real-time, which can be present in a wide variety of environments and workplaces. The sensor working principle is based on the resonance frequency shift caused by particles collected on the resonator surface. To test the sensor sensitivity obtained from mass-loading effects, an Aluminum Nitride-based piezoelectric resonator was exposed to cigarette particles in a sealed chamber. In order to determine the resonance parameters of interest, an interface circuit was implemented and included within both open-loop and closed-loop schemes for comparison. The system was capable of tracking the resonance frequency with a mass sensitivity of 8.8 Hz/ng. Although the tests shown here were proven by collecting particles from a cigarette, the results obtained in this application may have interest and can be extended towards other applications, such as monitoring of nanoparticles in a workplace environment.

A new displacement sensor with light-field modulation, named as time grating, was proposed in this study. The purpose of this study was to reduce the reliance on high-precision measurements on high-precision manufacturing. The proposed sensor uses a light source to produce an alternative light-field simultaneously for four groups of sinusoidal light transmission surfaces. Using the four orthogonally alternative light-fields as the carrier to synthesize a traveling wave signal which makes the object movement in the spatial proportion to the signal phase shift in the time, the moving displacement of the object can be measured by counting time pulses. The influence of the light-field distribution on sensor measurement error was analyzed in detail. Aimed to reduce these influences, an optimization method that used continuous cosinusoidal light transmission surfaces with spatially symmetrical distribution was proposed, and the effectiveness of this method was verified with simulations and experiments. Experimental results demonstrated that the measurement accuracy reached 0.64 μm, within the range of 500 mm, with 0.6 mm pitch. Therefore, the light-field time grating can achieve high precision measurement with a low cost and submillimeter period sensing unit.

A theory of time-space coordinate transformation is presented for measuring space with time. A novel type of displacement sensor named time grating is developed, and methods of electronic rectifying, self-compensation and self-correction are proposed to intelligentize the sensor. Experiment results coming from applications conform to the validity of the proposed theory and methods. The experiment and test results show that high-precision measurement is achieved without high-precision manufacture and that angular displacement is measured very accurately without a dividing scale, which embeds the remarkable characteristics of low cost but high accuracy to the time grating sensor.

PurposeDifferential sensor for linear displacement has been optimized in terms of linearity and sensitivity. The optimization of the sensor is carried out with respect to its characteristic displacement‐output voltage.Design/methodology/approachResponse surface methodology and design of experiments have been successfully applied for sensor optimization. First, a full factorial experiment – computation of the quasi‐static electromagnetic field of the sensor using the finite element method – has been performed. Secondary model has been created on the basis of finite element results. Then this model has been optimized with respect to two criteria – linearity and sensitivity.FindingsThe mutual influence of both criteria has been studied. In this way an optimal trade‐off between linearity and sensitivity of the sensor was achieved.Research limitations/implicationsRelatively small numbers of optimization criteria have been varied. The results can be further improved by adding additional factors to the study.Originality/valueThe results obtained improve characteristics of this type of sensor and make it low cost alternative to the high‐end linear displacement sensors in low to moderate accuracy applications.

The development of “large display, high performance and low cost” in the FPD industry demands glass substrates to be “larger and thinner”. Therefore, the requirements of handling robots are developing in the direction of large scale, high speed, and high precision. This paper presents a novel construction of a glass substrate handling robot, which has a 2.5 m/s travelling speed. It innovatively adopts bionic end-suction technology to grasp the glass substrate more firmly. The structure design is divided into the following three parts: a travel track, a robot body, and an end-effector. The manipulator can be smoothly and rapidly extended by adjusting the transmission ratio of the reducer to 1:2:1, using only one motor to drive two sections of the arm. This robot can transfer two pieces of glass substrate at one time, and improves the working efficiency. The kinematic and dynamic models of the robot are built based on the DH coordinate. Through the positioning accuracy experiment and vibration experiment of the end-effector, it is found that the robot has high precision during handling. The robots developed in this study can be used in large-scale glass substrate handling.
