Robot Calibration Using Active Vision-based Measurement

This paper presents an efficient robot calibration method with non-contact vision metrology. Using the coplanar pattern to calibrate camera made the active-vision-based end-effector pose measurement be a feasible and cost-effective way. Kinematic parameter errors were linearized and identified through two-step procedure, thus the singular and non-linear condition was overcome. These errors were then compensated using inverse model method. The whole calibration process is flexible, easy to implement and prevents the error propagation from the earlier stages to the later ones. Calibration was performed on MOTOMAN SV3 industrial robot. Experiment results show that the proposed method is easy to setup and with satisfactory accuracy.     

A Study on the Surface Structures of Viscose-based Activated Carbon Fiber by FT-IR Spectroscopy and XPS

Using viscose fiber (VF) as starting material and common steam as activating agent, formation of oxygen structures in activated carbon fiber is investigated. In the preparation of samples, VF was first heated at temperatures between 450℃ and 900℃ in N_2 artmosphere. Then, in a successive activation stage, the product carbonized at 600℃ was activated in steam at 450-900℃ for 30 min, and at 600℃ for 5-30 min. The other carbonization products were activated at 600 and 900℃ for 30 min respectively. The products activated at 900℃ were then activated at 450℃ for 30 min again. The starting materiah carbonized products and all activation products were examined by FT-IR spectroscopy and some products were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS). And the yields of the carbonized and activated products were calculated. By analysing these spectra, the amount of oxygen-containing functional groups of the activated products attained under various activation time, various activation temperature and     

Switched Capacitor Network Analysis by Means of TCM

The totally coded method (TCM) reveals the same objective law, which governs the gain calculating for signal flow graph as Mason formula does. This algorithm is carried out merely in the domain of code operation. Based on pure code algorithm, it is more efficient because figure searching is no longer necessary. The code-series (CS), which are organized from node association table, have the holoinformation nature, so that both the content and the sign of each gain-term can be determined via the coded method. The principle of this method is obvious and it is suited for computer programming. The capability of the computeraided analysis for Switched Capacitor (SCN) can be enhanced.     

Meshing Theoretical Study and Simulation on Cylindrical Tri-sine Oscillating Tooth Gear Drive

The structure of cylindrical tri-sine oscillating tooth gear drive is presented. Based on the space meshing theory, equations of meshing and tooth profile are established and its meshing theory is studied. Using Pro/E, this system is modeled and simulated,which is compared with the above-established equations.     

Kinetics of Chlorine Decay in Water Distribution Systems

A combined first and second-order model, which includes bulk decay and wall decay, was developed to describe chlorine decay in water distribution systems. In the model the bulk decay has complex relationships with total organic carbon (TOC), the initial chlorine concentration and the temperature. Except for the initial stages they can be simplified into a linear increase with TOC, a linear decrease with initial chlorine concentration and an exponential relationship with the temperature. The model also explains why chlorine decays rapidly in the initial stages. The parameters of model are determined by deriving the best fitness with experimental data. And the accuracy of model has been verified by using the experimental data and the monitoring data in a distribution system.
