According to the theory of solar energy and vibration energy harvesting, an energy harvesting system based on energy conversion scavenging technology has been designed to convert the solar energy and vibration energy into the electric power. Piezoelectric materials and the solar cells are used as core power conversion section, and the system also consists of the lithium battery charge chip, the rectifier, comparators and switch chips as the control segments, combined with the super capacitor, etc. The energy harvesting experiment shows that the lithium battery can be charged through solar and vibration by the solar and vibration energy harvesting system, and the charging chip adopted in this work has input voltage limited current mode which can fulfill intermittent charge smoothly.
Owing to the distinct advantages, including non-invasive sensing, high safety and low cost, ultrasonic tomography (UT) method is considered as a promising visualization measurement method, in which acquiring high-precision the time of flight (TOF) is crucial for real applications. In this paper, a TOF measurement system is proposed for the UT measurement. The signal analysis is applied for the threshold method to confirm the TOF measurement. The Data acquisition card and the software of Libview are used for the signals acquirement. Experimental studies are implemented to validate the feasibilities of the proposed TOF measurement system, and the experimental results confirm that the TOF measurement system is successful for the TOF measurement.
A set of temperature measuring system hardware circuits is presented and investigated regarding to static errors. The measurement accuracy of the system can be up to 1%in the industrial applications. In addition, this paper proposes a recommending method to select hardware equipment and this approach plays an important role in temperature measurement in industrial applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
