Abstract: A machine tool rapid compensation system includes: a trigger acquisition module, a laser interferometry measurement module, a data analysis and compensation module, and a communication module. The trigger acquisition module receives a trigger acquisition instruction, converts an encoder position value into a pulse value, transmits the pulse value to the laser interferometry measurement module, retrieves parameter information and compensation point information of a machine tool from a numerical control system, and generates a machine tool operation code and a measurement preparation signal. The laser interferometry measurement module receives the measurement preparation signal and the pulse value to obtain error data, environmental data, and expansion compensation values.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a nicotinamide dummy template surface molecularly imprinted polymer, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of chemical materials. The preparation method of the disclosure includes the steps of preparing a modified silica gel carrier, preparing a dummy template surface molecularly imprinted polymer and the like. The disclosure uses nicotinamide, a structural analogue of imidacloprid and acetamiprid, as a dummy template to prepare a silica gel surface molecularly imprinted polymer. The polymer not only can effectively avoid pollution caused by the leakage of template molecules, but also can specifically remove imidacloprid and acetamiprid from water-soluble tea extracts. The removal rate of imidacloprid and acetamiprid is greater than 96% and 93%, respectively, and the loss of tea polyphenols in the extracts is less than 10%.

Abstract: Provided are a lithium nickel manganese oxide composite material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery. The preparation method includes: a first calcining process is performed on a nano-oxide and a nickel-manganese precursor, to obtain an oxide-coated nickel-manganese precursor; and a second calcining process is performed on the precursor and a lithium source material, to obtain the lithium nickel manganese oxide, and a temperature of the first calcining process is lower than the second calcining process. A a lower temperature, the nano-oxide may be melted, a denser nano-oxide coating layer is formed on the surface of the precursor, so the oxide-coated nickel-manganese precursor is obtained. At a higher temperature, the nano-oxide, a nickel-manganese material and a lithium element may be more deeply combined. A problem that the nano-oxide layer is easy to fall off is solved, and cycle performance of the lithium nickel manganese oxide is greatly improved.

Abstract: There is provided a method of measuring the PMD of an optical fiber under test (FUT). A polarization-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (POTDR) is used to inject into the FUT and from a proximal end thereof, a test signal comprising a series of repeated light pulses and detecting a corresponding polarization-analyzed return light signal coming back from the optical fiber and representing back-reflected light from a light reflector connected to a distal end of the FUT, said return light signal comprising repeated reflected light pulses. The plurality of polarization-sensitive acquisitions defines at least one pair of acquisitions performed with mutually different but closely-spaced wavelengths and substantially the same state of polarization (SOP), a center of said wavelengths defining a center wavelength for said at least one pair.

Abstract: There is provided a method and system of frequency dithered distributed acoustic sensing (FD-DAS) using group data signal processing, where the continuous wave (CW) coherent laser's optical frequency or optical phase for the FD-DAS interrogator may be set in evenly or randomly distributed manner for different data groups but they are kept as constant or with negligibly variation within each data group. Such FD-DAS may be used to improve acoustic or vibration signal measurement reliability, to allow to use a low-cost single-frequency laser such as a DFB laser, and/or to suppress polarization fading effect.

Abstract: There is provided a method and an apparatus of fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) which use a simple, reliable and robust signal processing for amplitude-based DAS measurements. 1) The lack of linearity of the amplitude-based DAS measurements (due to its unpredictable variation of the transfer function along the fiber) can be improved by normalizing the amplitude vs distance using an amplitude-normalization trace obtained from either a) coherent laser OTDR measurements with laser frequency dithering or b) computing a normalization trace from the coherent OTDR/DAS traces and the un-coherent OTDR/DAS traces. 2) Instrument offset (e.g., due to low vertical sampling resolution) may further be corrected using un-coherent OTDR/DAS traces to extract an instrument system offset.

Abstract: There is provided a method and an apparatus of fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) which can use low-cost coherent laser as well as low-cost acquisition and processing electronics and which can still provide reliable monitoring results for optical fiber monitoring and troubleshooting applications in optical fiber telecommunication networks. Such low-cost solution is made possible by employing grouped data signal processing. Data is processed over independent groups of data to provide an independent DAS signal for each group. This allows measurements to be less sensitive to laser fluctuations and thereby reduces coherent laser technical specification requirements and allows the use of a low-cost coherent laser (thereby reducing the cost of the laser) as well as low-cost acquisition and processing electronics.
