Abstract: A method for detecting a preload residual rate involves: a. installing a temperature sensor on one of two preloaded elements; b. making the two preloaded elements to move with respect to each other, and recording a time-related temperature variation sensed by the temperature sensor, so as to obtain an initial temperature-rising curve; c. making the two preloaded elements to move with respect to each other, and recording a time-related temperature variation sensed by the temperature sensor, so as to obtain a detected temperature-rising curve; and d. comparing the initial and detected temperature-rising curves, so as to obtain the preload residual rate between the two preloaded elements of the step c to the step b. The method detects a preload residual rate applied to an object when the object is operating while being advantageous in terms of cost, service life, response and accuracy.

Abstract: Processing containers include a first member having a substantially rigid body with a plurality of regions defining spaced apart workstations and a flexible barrier member sealably attached to the first member to define a closed chamber over the plurality of workstations. The flexible barrier is substantially impermeable and includes or is a manipulation tool that is sealably attached to the barrier. The manipulation tool has a first internal interface that resides in the closed chamber under the flexible barrier and a second external interface that resides outside the closed chamber. The processing containers are particularly suitable for automated processing of nucleic acids and other samples. The manipulation tool can cooperate with or include a pipette head. When the barrier is sealed, the barrier separates the contents of the container from a robotic arm or other manipulation device.

Abstract: A system for monitoring damage progression in a composite structure includes a load sensor, acoustic emission sensors, a camera, and a monitoring device. The load sensor measures an applied load to the structure. The sensors measure acoustic emission data indicative of possible damage to the structure. The camera captures image data of the structure in a designated portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The monitoring device executes a method by which the acoustic emission data is synchronously collected with the image data and the applied load. The device automatically maps the acoustic emission data onto the image data to detect an area of damage progression in the composite structure. A failure event in the detected area of damage progression may be predicted using the mapped data, and a control action may be executed in response to the predicted failure event.

Abstract: A posture of a user is monitored by obtaining first pressure sensor information from a plurality of sensors upon a first item of furniture occupied by the user at a first time. First sensor position information defining the relative positions of the sensors upon the first item of furniture is also obtained. The first pressure sensor information and the first sensor position information are processed to determine a first user posture upon the first item of furniture. User posture is monitored over time and/or upon different items of furniture, and a cumulative load upon the user's spine over time is determined.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to stress compensation in differential sensors. In an embodiment, instead of compensating for stress on each sensor element independently, stress compensation circuitry aims to remove stress-related mismatch between two sensor elements using the sensor elements themselves to detect the mismatch. A circuit can be implemented in embodiments to detect mechanical stress-related mismatch between sensor elements using the sensor elements, and tune the output signal by a compensation factor to eliminate the mismatch. Embodiments are therefore less complicated and less expensive than conventional approaches. While embodiments have applicability to virtually any differential sensor, including magnetic field, pressure, temperature, current and speed, an example embodiment discussed herein relates to magnetic field.

Abstract translation: 实施例涉及差动传感器中的应力补偿。 在一个实施例中，代替独立地补偿每个传感器元件上的应力，应力补偿电路旨在消除使用传感器元件本身的两个传感器元件之间的应力相关失配，以检测失配。 在实施例中可以实现电路以使用传感器元件检测传感器元件之间的机械应力相关失配，并且通过补偿因子来调整输出信号以消除不匹配。 因此，实施例比常规方法更不复杂和便宜。 虽然实施例可适用于几乎任何包括磁场，压力，温度，电流和速度的差分传感器，但本文讨论的示例实施例涉及磁场。

Abstract: An optical fiber having at least one fiduciary mark is provided. The at least one fiduciary mark is located at one or more axial positions along the optical fiber. The at least one fiduciary mark is configured to produce at least one change in a Rayleigh backscattering signal in the optical fiber. The at least one change in a Rayleigh backscattering signal may be an abrupt change in the Rayleigh backscattering signal. The abrupt change in the Rayleigh backscattering signal occurs over a length of the optical fiber that is of the order of or less than a spatial resolution of an interrogation system employed to detect the Rayleigh backscattering signal.

Abstract: Diametral measurement systems can be used to measure and evaluate the diametral variation of cylindrical objects, such as cylindrical rock cores. A diametral measurement system can include two indicator gauges aligned opposite one another for measuring diametral variation as the cylindrical object is rotated. Measurements from the diametral measurement system may be obtained at predetermined intervals through one or more rotations of the cylindrical object. The measurements obtained from diametral measurement systems can be used to evaluate the magnitude and orientation of in-situ stress and strain normal to the rock core axis.
