During in situ tests, it was observed that the chemical composition analysis results obtained using a portable spark spectrometer significantly varied as the distance between the tested surface and the spectrometer probe nozzle increased. It was also observed that the nature of the sound emitted during the burning process was altered with the variation of this distance. Based on the Huygens-Fresnel principle, it was supposed that frequencies of the sound emitted during the burning process, as well as its magnitudes may be directly related to the quality of the chemical composition results. This paper investigated the relation between the errors associated with the results of chemical composition analyzes and the pressure of the leaked sound, since both depend on the gap thickness. The study was based on a full factorial design 3 x 8, where the test surface shape was investigated on three levels (flat; 220 mm diameter cylindrical and 325 mm diameter cylindrical) and the vertical distance factor was evaluated on eight levels (0 mm; 0.1 mm; 0.2 mm; 0.3 mm; 0.4 mm; 0.5 mm; 0.6 mm; 0.7 mm). During the tests, frequencies of the emitted sound signals were monitored using a precision microphone and a data acquisition module. The Analysis of Variance showed with a 95% confidence level that the investigated factors (vertical distance and test surface shape) and the interaction between them produced statistically significant effects in the values of the response variable (wt%) of the X65 steel. The Kruskal-Wallis and MannWhitney U tests showed that at least one experiment exhibited a mean value different from others and a significant number of pairs presented differences between the means. Through the analysis of acoustic sound signals, the validity of the measurement results was evaluated. An acceptance criterion based on relative error in wt% of chemical composition was defined.

Non-contact method of thickness measurement for thin-walled rotary shell parts based on chromatic confocal sensor
Sicheng Jiao, Shixiang Wang, Minge Gao, Min Xu
Summary: This paper presents a non-contact method of thickness measurement for thin-walled rotary shell parts based on a chromatic confocal sensor. The method involves using a flip method to obtain surface profiles from both sides of the workpiece, measuring the decentration and tilt errors of the workpiece using a centering system, establishing a unified reference coordinate system, reconstructing the external and internal surface profiles, and calculating the thickness. Experimental results show that the method can accurately measure the thickness of a sapphire spherical shell workpiece and is consistent with measurements of other materials.

Performances evaluation and characterization of a novel design of capacitive sensors for in-flight oil-level monitoring aboard helicopters
Attilio Di Nisio, Gregorio Andria, Francesco Adamo, Daniel Lotano, Filippo Attivissimo
Summary: Capacitive sensing is a widely used technique for a variety of applications, including avionics. However, current industry standard Capacitive Level Sensors (CLSs) used in helicopters perform poorly in terms of sensitivity and dynamic characteristics. In this study, novel geometries were explored and three prototypes were built and tested. Experimental validation showed that the new design featuring a helicoidal slit along the external electrode of the cylindrical probe improved sensitivity, response time, and linearity.

Automatic detection and pixel-level quantification of surface microcracks in ceramics grinding: An exploration with Mask R-CNN and TransUNet
Hui Fu, Qinghua Song, Jixiang Gong, Liping Jiang, Zhanqiang Liu, Qiang Luan, Hongsheng Wang
Summary: An automatic detection and pixel-level quantification model based on joint Mask R-CNN and TransUNet is developed to accurately evaluate microcrack damage on the grinding surfaces of engineering ceramics. The model is effectively trained on actual micrograph image dataset using a joint training strategy. The proposed model achieves reliable automatic detection and fine segmentation of microcracks, and a skeleton-based quantification model is also proposed to provide comprehensive and precise measurements of microcrack size.

Comparing Mobile and Aerial Laser Scanner point cloud data sets for automating the detection and delimitation procedure of safety-critical near-road slopes
Anton Nunez-Seoane, Joaquin Martinez-Sanchez, Erik Rua, Pedro Arias
Summary: This article compares the use of Mobile Laser Scanners (MLS) and Aerial Laser Scanners (ALS) for digitizing the road environment and detecting road slopes. The study found that ALS data and its corresponding algorithm achieved better detection and delimitation results compared to MLS. Measuring the road from a terrestrial perspective negatively impacted the detection process, while an aerial perspective allowed for scanning of the entire slope structure.

Qinghong Fu, Yunxi Lou, Jianghui Deng, Xin Qiu, Xianhua Chen
Summary: Measurement and quantitative characterization of aging-induced gradient properties is crucial for accurate analysis and design of asphalt pavement. This research proposes the composite specimen method to obtain asphalt binders at different depths within the mixture and uses dynamic shear rheometer tests to measure aging-induced gradient properties and reveal internal mechanisms. G* master curves are constructed to investigate gradient aging effects in a wide range. The study finds that the composite specimen method can effectively restore the boundary conditions and that it is feasible to study gradient aging characteristics within the asphalt mixture. The study also observes variations in G* and delta values and the depth range of gradient aging effects for different aging levels.

Enhanced precise orbit determination for GPS and BDS-2/3 with real LEO onboard and ground observations
Min Li, Kai Wei, Tianhe Xu, Yali Shi, Dixing Wang
Summary: Due to the limitations of ground monitoring stations in China for the BDS, the accuracy of BDS Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite orbits can be influenced. To overcome this, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can be used as additional monitoring stations. In this study, data from two LEO satellites were collected to improve the precise orbit determination of the BDS. By comparing the results with GPS and BDS-2/3 solutions, it was found that including the LEO satellites significantly improved the accuracy of GPS and BDS-2/3 orbits.
