    摘要: Provided is an apparatus for measuring a droplet length using a capacitive electrode including: a disposable panel; a board separated from the disposable panel and configured to be reused separately from the disposable panel; a sensing electrode unit patterned on an upper surface of the board and configured to measure a length of a droplet depending on a voltage value measured depending on a capacitance value of the fluid passing through the microfluid channel; a thin film provided on a lower surface of the disposable panel; and a negative pressure forming means configured to apply a negative pressure between the disposable panel and the board so that the disposable panel and the board are attached to or detached from each other.

    摘要: A boom extension monitoring system is provided that uses a combination of sensors to determine an absolute location and a relative location of the boom. As the boom extends or retracts, the monitoring system can determine the absolute location of the boom as the sum of the absolute at relative distances. These distances can be obtained through a combination of a grid, low-resolution sensors, high-resolution sensors, counters, processors, and other components according to various embodiments described herein. A process to obtain the total boom extension of multiple telescoping beams by monitoring the extension of a single beam element is also described.

    摘要: The invention discloses a method for vehicle classification using multiple geomagnetic sensors, which mainly solves the problems of high cost, complex processing process and difficulty in large-scale deployment of the existing vehicle classification methods. The method comprises the following steps: sequentially deploying N geomagnetic sensors on a road side at equal intervals d, each of the geomagnetic sensors respectively collecting magnetic field data around same, respectively transmitting the magnetic field data to a data processing module for storage, and judging whether a vehicle passes over a detection range of the sensors or not according to the data; calculating a time difference obtained when the vehicle passes by two adjacent sensors among N sensors, and calculating the vehicle speed and the vehicle magnetic length according to the time difference; setting a vehicle magnetic length double-threshold value and a Z axis magnetic field strength threshold value, acquiring Z axis geomagnetic data and the magnetic length that the vehicle passes by, comparing the Z axis geomagnetic data and the magnetic length that the vehicle passes by with the set threshold value, and acquiring a judged vehicle type result. According to the invention, the vehicle type information of the vehicle passing by can be accurately acquired, the reliability is high, the cost is low, large-scale deployment is easy to realize, and the method can be used for highway intellectualization.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a sensing system for sensing a position of a gear shaft. The present disclosure may implement determination of whether the gear shaft is at a reverse gear position, a forward gear position or a neutral gear position by: partitioning a magnet into a first length region magnet and a second length region magnet, wherein the first length region magnet and the second length region magnet have different magnetic field directions, sensing and generating an inductive electrical signal reflecting motions of the first length region magnet and the second length region magnet; storing, by a memory unit, a first type reference signal for the first length region magnet and a second type reference signal for the second length region magnet, which are sensed by simulation; and comparing, by a processing unit, the inductive electric signal against the first type reference signal and the second type reference signal, which reflect different gear positions, respectively. By arranging only one magnet and one set of circuitry mechanical elements to sense a position of the gear shaft, the sensing apparatus according to the present disclosure effectively implements detection of the neutral gear position and the reverse gear position of the gear shaft, which reduces the manufacturing cost and lowers the failure rate.
