Towards a shock tube method for the dynamic calibration of pressure sensors.

ABSTRACT: In theory, shock tubes provide a pressure change with a very fast rise time and calculable amplitude. This pressure step could provide the basis for the calibration of pressure transducers used in highly dynamic applications. However, conventional metal shock tubes can be expensive, unwieldy and difficult to modify. We describe the development of a 1.4?MPa (maximum pressure) shock tube made from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride pressure tubing which provides a low-cost, light and easily modifiable basis for establishing a method for determining the dynamic characteristics of pressure sensors.

External standard calibration method for high-repetition-rate shock tube kinetic studies with synchrotron-based time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Project description:The signal levels observed from mass spectrometers coupled by molecular beam sampling to shock tubes are impacted by dynamic pressures in the spectrometer due to rapid pressure changes in the shock tube. Accounting for the impact of the pressure changes is essential if absolute concentrations of species are to be measured. Obtaining such a correction for spectrometers operated with vacuum ultra violet photoionization has been challenging. We present here a new external calibration method which uses VUV-photoionization of CO2 to develop time-dependent corrections to species concentration/time profiles from which kinetic data can be extracted. The experiments were performed with the ICARE-HRRST (high repetition rate shock tube) at the DESIRS beamline of synchrotron SOLEIL. The calibration experiments were performed at temperatures and pressures behind reflected shock waves of 1376 ± 12 K and 6.6 ± 0.1 bar, respectively. Pyrolytic experiments with two aromatic species, toluene (T5 = 1362 ± 22 K, P5 = 6.6 ± 0.2 bar) and ethylbenzene (T5 = 1327 ± 18 K, P5 = 6.7 ± 0.2 bar), are analyzed to test the method. Time dependent concentrations for molecular and radical species were corrected with the new method. The resulting signals were compared with chemical kinetic simulations using a recent mechanism for pyrolytic formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Excellent agreement was obtained between the experimental data and simulations, without adjustment of the model, demonstrating the validity of the external calibration method.

A New Calibration Method for Commercial RGB-D Sensors.

Project description:Commercial RGB-D sensors such as Kinect and Structure Sensors have been widely used in the game industry, where geometric fidelity is not of utmost importance. For applications in which high quality 3D is required, i.e., 3D building models of centimeter?level accuracy, accurate and reliable calibrations of these sensors are required. This paper presents a new model for calibrating the depth measurements of RGB-D sensors based on the structured light concept. Additionally, a new automatic method is proposed for the calibration of all RGB-D parameters, including internal calibration parameters for all cameras, the baseline between the infrared and RGB cameras, and the depth error model. When compared with traditional calibration methods, this new model shows a significant improvement in depth precision for both near and far ranges.

Dynamic Response of the Pitot Tube with Pressure Sensor.

Project description:This paper presents an attempt to determine the dynamic properties of a measuring system based on total pressure measurement with the use of a Pitot tube and a semiconductor pressure transducer. The presented research uses computed fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and real data from the pressure measurement system for determination of the dynamical model of the Pitot tube with the transducer. An identification algorithm is applied to the data from the simulation, and the model in the form of a transfer function is an identification result. The oscillatory behavior is detected, and this result is confirmed by frequency analysis of the recorded pressure measurements. One of the resonant frequencies is the same in both experiments, but the second is slightly different. The identified dynamical models permit the possibility to predict deviations caused by dynamics and to select the appropriate tube for a particular experiment.

An Unobtrusive and Calibration-free Blood Pressure Estimation Method using Photoplethysmography and Biometrics.

Project description:We introduce a novel paradigm to unobtrusively and optically measure blood pressure (BP) without calibration. The algorithm combines photoplethysmography (PPG) waveform analysis and biometrics to estimate BP, and was evaluated in subjects with various age, height, weight and BP levels (n = 1249). In the young population (<50 years old) with low, medium and high systolic blood pressures (SBP, <120 mmHg; 120-139 mmHg; ≥140 mmHg), the fitting errors are 6.3 ± 7.2, -3.9 ± 7.2 and -20.2 ± 14.2 mmHg for SBP respectively; In the older population (>50 years old) with the same categories, the fitting errors are 12.8 ± 9.0, 0.5 ± 8.2 and -14.6 ± 11.5 mmHg for SBP respectively. A simple personalized calibration reduces fitting errors significantly (n = 147), and good peripheral perfusion helps to improve the fitting accuracy. In conclusion, PPG may be used to calculate BP without calibration in certain populations. When calibrated, it shows great potential to serially monitor BP fluctuation, which can bring tremendous economic and health benefits.

Improved calibration of electrochemical aptamer-based sensors.

Project description:Electrochemical aptamer-based (EAB) sensors support the real-time, high frequency measurement of pharmaceuticals and metabolites in-situ in the living body, rendering them a potentially powerful technology for both research and clinical applications. Here we explore quantification using EAB sensors, examining the impact of media selection and temperature on measurement performance. Using freshly-collected, undiluted whole blood at body temperature as both our calibration and measurement conditions, we demonstrate accuracy of better than ± 10% for the measurement of our test bed drug, vancomycin. Comparing titrations collected at room and body temperature, we find that matching the temperature of calibration curve collection to the temperature used during measurements improves quantification by reducing differences in sensor gain and binding curve midpoint. We likewise find that, because blood age impacts the sensor response, calibrating in freshly collected blood can improve quantification. Finally, we demonstrate the use of non-blood proxy media to achieve calibration without the need to collect fresh whole blood.

Calibration Methods of Acoustic Emission Sensors.

Project description:This study examined outstanding issues of sensitivity calibration methods for ultrasonic and acoustic emission transducers and provides workable solutions based on physically measureable quantities, laser-based displacement measurement in particular. This leads to mutually consistent determination of transmitting and receiving sensitivities of sensors and transducers. Methods of circumventing problems of extraneous vibrations on free transmitters are used, giving the foundation for face-to-face calibration methods. Working on many ultrasonic and acoustic emission transducers, their receiving and transmitting sensitivities are found to be always different, while their ratios exhibit unexpected similarity. This behavior is attributed to monopolar pulse generation and bipolar received signals due to electrical charge transfer during elastic wave motion and reflection on the back face. This is verified through a quantitative piezoelectric sensing experiment. Displacement vs. velocity calibration terminology is clarified, redefining the "V/µbar" reference for contact sensor calibration. With demonstrated differences in the transmitting and receiving sensitivities of transducers, the requirement of the Hill-Adams equation invalidates the basic premise of the currently formulated reciprocity calibration methods for acoustic emission transducers. In addition, the measured reciprocity parameter for the case of through-transmission significantly deviates from the approximate theoretical prediction. It is demonstrated that three methods provide reliable sensor calibration results that are complimentary among them.

Crystallographic and Dynamic Aspects of Solid-State NMR Calibration Compounds: Towards ab Initio NMR Crystallography.

Project description:The excellent results of dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) calculations for static systems have been well established over the past decade. The introduction of dynamics into DFT-D calculations is a target, especially for the field of molecular NMR crystallography. Four (13) C ss-NMR calibration compounds are investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, molecular dynamics and DFT-D calculations. The crystal structure of 3-methylglutaric acid is reported. The rotator phases of adamantane and hexamethylbenzene at room temperature are successfully reproduced in the molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated (13) C chemical shifts of these compounds are in excellent agreement with experiment, with a root-mean-square deviation of 2.0 ppm. It is confirmed that a combination of classical molecular dynamics and DFT-D chemical shift calculation improves the accuracy of calculated chemical shifts.

Indoor Test System for Liquid CO2 Phase Change Shock Wave Pressure with PVDF Sensors.

Project description:Liquid carbon dioxide phase change fracturing technology (LCPCFT) has been widely used in engineering blasting due to the advantage of no flames, and no toxic and harmful gas. However, few studies have been conducted on the acquisition of shock wave pressure and its loading characteristics, which are key parameters in fracturing. Referring to the CO2 in-situ fracturing technology, an indoor test system for shock wave pressure generated during LCPCFT has been built, with a protected polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric sensor. Then three verification experiments with different radial distances between the fracturing tube and test points were carried out on the test system, and in each experiment, four PVDF sensors as four test points were arranged with different axial distance from the detonating point to test the pressure distribution. The experimental results show that when the radial distance between the fracturing tube and test points is not too large (?345 mm), the pressure generated during LCPCFT is approximately uniformly distributed within the axial length of the fracturing tube, but when it is relatively large (?895 mm), the results between different test points are in a certain degree of dispersion. And finally, this paper uses the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV) of peak pressure and impulse to process the test results to evaluate the reliability and stability of the test system. Evaluation results show that the test results are in good consistency. The test system in this paper has good stability and high reliability. The test system provides a useful tool for accurately obtaining the shock wave pressure, which is helpful for further research on LCPCFT.

Assessment of a Calibration-Free Method of Cuffless Blood Pressure Measurement: A Pilot Study.

Project description:This study proposes a low-cost, high-sensitivity sensor of beat-to-beat local pulse wave velocity (PWV), to be used in a cuffless blood pressure monitor (BPM).ObjectiveWe design an adaptive algorithm to detect the feature of the pulse wave, making it possible for two sensors to measure the local PWV in the radial artery at a short distance. Unlike the cuffless BPM that needs to use a regression model for calibration.MethodWe encapsulate the piezoelectric sensor material in a cavity and design an analog front-end circuit. This study used color ultrasound imaging equipment to measure radial arterial parameters, including the diameter and wall thickness, to aid the estimation of blood pressure (BP) using the Moens-Korteweg (MK) equation of hemodynamics.ResultsWe compared the blood pressure estimated by the MK equation with the reference BP measured using an aneroid sphygmomanometer in a test group of 32 people, resulting in a mean difference of systolic BP of -0.63 mmHg, and a standard deviation of ±5.14 mmHg, a mean difference of mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 0.97 mmHg, with a standard deviation of ±3.54 mmHg, and a mean difference of diastolic BP of -1.14 mmHg, with a standard deviation of ±4.08 mmHg. This study has verified its compliance with ISO 81060-2.ConclusionsA new type of wearable continuous calibration-free BPM can replace the situation that requires the use of traditional ambulatory BPM and reduce patient discomfort.Clinical impactIn this study can provide long-term continuous blood pressure monitoring in the hospital.
