It's not easy to achieve high-precision and wide range for the SAW temperature sensor. The multi-reflector reuse method is proposed in this paper based on the SAW delay-line theory. A pair of RF pulse query signals with difference query width are sent sequentially to the novel SAW sensor in a query period, the phase different of the RF pulse echo signal is analyzed based on the position factor. The novel method is used in the SAW sensor design, the SAW sensor can achieve the high accuracy and the well range at the same time.

The following presents a comparison of an extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometer (EFPI)-based temperature sensor, constructed using a novel diaphragm manufacturing technique, with a reference all-glass EFPI temperature sensor. The novel diaphragm was manufactured using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The novel sensor fabrication involved fusing a single-mode fibre (SMF) to a length of fused quartz capillary, which has an inner diameter of 132 μm and a 220 μm outer diameter. The capillary was subsequently polished until the distal face of the capillary extended approximately 60 μm beyond that of the single mode fibre. Upon completion of polishing, the assembly is immersed in a solution of PVA. Controlled extraction resulted in creation of a thin diaphragm while simultaneously applying a protective coating to the fusion point of the SMF and capillary. The EFPI sensor is subsequently sealed in a second fluid-filled capillary, thereby creating a novel temperature sensor structure. Both temperature sensors were placed in a thermogravimetric analyser and heated from an indicated 30 °C to 100 °C to qualitatively compare sensitivities. Initial results indicated that the novel manufacturing technique both expedited production and produces a more sensitive sensor when compared to an all-glass construction.

Conventional sensor structure design and related fracture mechanics analysis are based on the single J-integral parameter approach of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM). Under low crack constraint cases, the EPFM one-parameter approach generally gives a stress overestimate, which results in a great cost waste of labor and sensor components. The J-A two-parameter approach overcomes this limitation. To enable the extensive application of the J-A approach on theoretical research and sensor engineering problem, under small scale yielding (SSY) conditions, the authors developed an estimate method to conveniently and quickly obtain the constraint (second) parameter A values directly from T-stress. Practical engineering application of sensor structure analysis and design focuses on three-dimensional (3D) structures with biaxial external loading, while the estimate method was developed based on two-dimensional (2D) plain strain condition with uniaxial loading. In the current work, the estimate method was successfully extended to a 3D structure with biaxial loading cases, which is appropriate for practical sensor design. The estimate method extension and validation process was implemented through a thin 3D single edge cracked plate (SECP) specimen. The process implementation was completed in two specified planes of 3D SECP along model thickness. A wide range of material and geometrical properties were applied for the extension and validation process, with material hardening exponent value 3, 5 and 10, and crack length ratio 0.1, 0.3 and 0.7.

The SAW delay-line sensor can obtain the energy of the RF pulse query signal through the wireless method. The RF pulse echo signal of the SAW delay-line sensor is significant effected by the different query pulse width of the RF pulse query signal, which is directly related to the sensor precision. The size of the IDT and reflectors, the distance between the IDT and reflector, and the distance among the different reflectors can affect the selection of the RF pulse query signal. The selection method of the query pulse width is discussed through the theoretical analysis and experimental analysis according to the SAW delay-line transmission characteristics. The query pulse width can be calculated directly through the design parameters of the SAW sensor.

Tetra-N-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) catalyzed carbonylation–benzylation of unactivated benzyl chlorides with potassium aryltrifluoroborates using CO gas has been developed. This reaction is transition-metal free, is carried out under ambient pressure, and provides a wide range of 1,2,3-triarylpropan-1-one derivatives in high yields. The novel method represents a significant improvement over the traditional palladium-catalyzed carbonylation.

This paper reports a novel method to fabricate auxetic warp knitted fabrics on a tricot warp knitting machine based on a special structure design and knitting process. Three auxetic warp knitted structures were successfully developed and all of them were designed to form a reentrant hexagonal geometry to acquire an auxetic effect. To provide the fabrics with reentrant frames, elastomeric yarns and stiff yarns were used to form the elastic underlaps and stiff underlaps, respectively. While the elastic underlaps can keep the reentrant structures stable, the stiff underlaps can support the reentrant structures to keep their reentrant frames. To alleviate the transfer of yarns in the loops under tension, an additional front yarn guide bar was used to feed binding yarns to basic reentrant structures. After knitting, all the fabrics were subjected to a heat setting process to keep their shape and a tensile test to assess their auxetic behavior. The experimental results showed that all the fabrics exhibited an obvious auxetic behavior within a wide range of strain. In particular, the fabrics retained auxetic behavior until breaking when stretched in the wale direction, and the Poisson’s ratio of the fabrics could be as low as –0.5. On the other hand, the fabrics exhibited a large tensile elongation when stretched in the course direction and their Poisson’s ratios changed from negative to positive after the tensile strain exceeded a certain value.

Resistance of metal depends on temperature. Therefore, the metal can be used as a temperature sensor with a reference resistor. The reference resistor is connected serially and the voltages of the sensor metal are measured after applying DC voltage. However, it is not easy to keep the reference resistance constant while measuring temperatures. We studied the temperature dependence of resistance of oxide material to apply it to the bridge type temperature sensor which is insensitive to the environmental temperature. We made bridge type temperature sensor with oxide material and metal. The novel temperature sensor does not need a reference resistor, and composed of oxide and metal. Therefore, we could remove error induced by environmental temperature variation. Moreover, the novel bridge type temperature sensor provides higher sensitivity than conventional sensor structure. By different thermal coefficient of the oxide material, it was possible to remove an external reference resistance. The proposed bridge type temperature sensor is a self-reference temperature sensor which is insensitive to the environmental temperature.

A novel method was developed for the determination of linting propensity of paper based on printing with an IGT printability tester and image analysis of the printed strips. On average, the total fraction of the surface removed as lint during printing is 0.01%-0.1%. This value is lower than those reported in most laboratory printing tests, and more representative of commercial offset printing applications. Newsprint paper produced on a roll/blade former machine was evaluated for linting propensity using the novel method and also printed on a commercial coldset offset press. Laboratory and commercial printing results matched well, showing that linting was higher for the bottom side of paper than for the top side, and that linting could be reduced on both sides by application of a dry-strength additive. In a second case study, varying wet-end conditions were used on a hybrid former machine to produce four paper reels, with the goal of matching the low linting propensity of the paper produced on a machine with gap former configuration. We found that the retention program, by improving fiber fines retention, substantially reduced the linting propensity of the paper produced on the hybrid former machine. The papers were also printed on a commercial coldset offset press. An excellent correlation was found between the total lint area removed from the bottom side of the paper samples during laboratory printing and lint collected on halftone areas of the first upper printing unit after 45000 copies. Finally, the method was applied to determine the linting propensity of highly filled supercalendered paper produced on a hybrid former machine. In this case, the linting propensity of the bottom side of paper correlated with its ash content.

This paper presents a novel method for accurately encoding 3D range geometry within the color channels of a 2D RGB image that allows the encoding frequency—and therefore the encoding precision—to be uniquely determined for each coordinate. The proposed method can thus be used to balance between encoding precision and file size by encoding geometry along a normal distribution; encoding more precisely where the density of data is high and less precisely where the density is low. Alternative distributions may be followed to produce encodings optimized for specific applications. In general, the nature of the proposed encoding method is such that the precision of each point can be freely controlled or derived from an arbitrary distribution, ideally enabling this method for use within a wide range of applications.
