The article presents the process of determining the speed of an unmanned rescue vehicle.The conducted investigations involved a measurement system developed for testing dynamic lorries. The application of a test system for low-speed all-terrain vehicles was possible due to a wide measurement range of sensors. Speed was tested employing two following methods:an indirect method consisting of the measurement of the instantaneous rotational speed of the wheel;a direct method consisting of the measurement of speed against the ground, taken with an optical speed sensor.The authors also describe the sources of interferences characteristic of both methods that include:the wheelspin affecting the correctness of speed determination in the indirect measurement;the unevenness of the surface (ground) hindering the correct operation of the optical speed sensor.The paper also presents the characteristics of the rotational speed of the wheels obtained in road and off-road conditions. Based on the obtained signals, linear speed was determined. Additionally, the article discusses methods for eliminating measurement disturbances.

A Direct Method

The paper present two different methods for measuring flow in hydropower, one direct and one indirect method. The study consists in comparing the results obtained by measurements made by both methods in a Romanian hydropower plant. The indirect method used is the Winter-Kennedy method. The other method involves direct measurement of the flow rate of water using a specialized outfit in this.

A Direct Method

The applied application of the Lyapunov characteristic function is determined by the properties of its estimates. Probabilistic characteristics of estimates of the Lyapunov characteristic function are described for the first time. The probabilistic characteristics of random values of estimates of the Lyapunov function are empirically estimated using statistical methods. The Matlab package has developed a model of a special device for obtaining estimates of the characteristic function by a direct method. A quasi-deterministic signal is fed to the input of the model, the instantaneous values of which are distributed according to the arcsine law, and an array of values of estimates of the Lyapunov function is obtained at the output, which is used to estimate the probabilistic characteristics of these estimates. Statistical estimation was performed by an indirect method. It is established that the values of the estimates of the Lyapunov characteristic function are distributed according to the normal law. The results of the research will be useful in engineering calculations, for example, when detecting message transmission errors in modems with a modulated characteristic function.

Problem Of Bolza

We are concerned with establishing sufficiency theorems for minima of simple integrals of the parametric type in a class of curves with variable end points and satisfying isoperimetric side conditions. The results which are obtained involve no explicit assumptions of normality. Such results can be derived by transforming our problem to a problem of Bolza and using the latest developments in the theory of that problem. More recently [6] an indirect method of proof has been published. Our object is to present a direct method of proof without transformation of the problem which is based upon a generalization of the classical theory of fields.

Direct And Indirect Methods

Nowadays, almost every daily activity is supported by the availability of energy, especially electricity. As the Borang 60 MW Gas Power Plant in Palembang, Indonesia emits air pollutants such as SO2, NOx, CO, and total particulate matter (total PM), an emission inventory needs to be developed. Various methods can be used in the inventory of emissions; among others are a direct method based on direct measurement and an indirect method which involves the calculation of total emissions by emission factor. This study aims to estimate the emissions from the gas power plant in Palembang using direct and indirect methods and analyze the most suitable emission factor for Indonesian conditions. The comparison between emissions measured by direct and indirect methods found that the indirect method using the emission factor of AP-42 gives more accurate results for SO2 and NOx, whereas the total emission of CO is more accurately calculated based on the indirect method using the emission factor developed by Kurokawa et al. (2013); the median value of total PM is more accurately calculated based on the indirect method using the emission factor developed by the IPCC.

Exact Invariant

AbstractAn exact invariant is found for the one-dimensional oscillator with equation of motion . The method used is that of linear canonical transformations with time-dependent coeffcients. This is a new approach to the problem and has the advantage of simplicity. When f(t) and g(t) are zero, the invariant is related to the well-known Lewis invariant. The significance of extension to higher dimension of these results is indicated, in particular for the existence of non-invariance dynamical symmetry groups.

A Direct Method

A simple relation has been established between the Fourier component of the probability density P(z) of photoelectron emission from different depths of a crystal and the angular dependence of the emission of photoelectrons formed in inclined X-ray Laue diffraction, which for the first time permitted the use of a direct method for the reconstruction of the P(z) function. Accurate measurements of the angular dependence of photoelectron emission were carried out on a silicon single crystal with diffraction of Cu Kα radiation for different energy ranges. Photoelectrons were recorded by a proportional gas counter specially designed for the energy analysis of photoelectrons under inclined Laue diffraction conditions. The laws predicted by the theory have been fully confirmed, and the corresponding P(z) functions have been obtained.

Finding the number of teeth for each gear in a gear train required to provide a specified noninteger ratio (or its inverse) of angular velocity between input and output shafts has been a troublesome problem throughout the history of gearing. A direct method for finding the required number of teeth is presented, along with a program for its implementation on a programmable pocket calculator.
