Grating interferometry is an environmentally stable displacement measurement technique that has significant potential for identifying the position of the wafer stage. A fast and precise algorithm is required for real-time calculation of six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) displacement using phase shifts of interference signals. Based on affine transformation, we analyze diffraction spot displacement and changes in the internal and external effective optical paths of the grating interferometer caused by the displacement of the wafer stage (DOWS); then, we establish a phase shift-DOWS model. To solve the DOWS in real time, we present a polynomial approximation algorithm that uses the frequency domain characteristics of nonlinearities to achieve model reduction. The presented algorithm is verified by experiment and ZEMAX simulation.

Submarine is usually equipped with two different control device arrangements, namely a cruciform and a X rudder configuration. In this paper, numerical simulations of the DARPA Suboff submarine and its retrofitted submarine with a X rudder configuration are presented. Turning simulations in model scale were studied to compare the turning abilities of the two different control device arrangements. The computations were performed with a house viscous CFD solver based on the conservative finite difference method. In the solver, RANS equation are solved coupled with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) solid body motion equations of the submarine in real time. The structured dynamic overlapping grids were used to simulate the real-time changes of the attitude of the submarine and the rotation of the rudder. The volume force method was used to replace the real propeller to realize the self-propelled movement of submarine. In the free running maneuvering simulations, the submarines move at the same initial velocity and rudder angle, restricted to the horizontal plane with four degrees of freedom (4DOF). Comparisons of the trajectory and kinematic parameters including relative turning radius and turning period between the two cases were presented in this paper. The results show that, compared with the cruciform rudder configuration, the X rudder configuration has obvious advantages for submarine in the turning abilities.

The micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) dynamic inclinometer integrates a tri-axis gyroscope and a tri-axis accelerometer for real-time tilt measurement. The Stewart platform has the ability to generate six degrees of freedom of spatial orbits. The method of applying spatial orbits to the testing of MEMS inclinometers is investigated. Inverse and forward kinematics are analyzed for controlling and measuring the position and orientation of the Stewart platform. The Stewart platform is controlled to generate a conical motion, based on which the sensitivities of the gyroscope, accelerometer, and tilt sensing are determined. Spatial positional orbits are also generated in order to obtain the tilt angles caused by the cross-coupling influence. The experiment is conducted to show that the tested amplitude frequency deviations of the gyroscope and tilt sensing sensitivities between the Stewart platform and the traditional rotator are less than 0.2 dB and 0.1 dB, respectively.

As roll angle measurement is essential for two-dimensional course correction fuze (2-D CCF) technology, a real-time estimation of roll angle of spinning projectile by single-axis magnetometer is studied. Based on the measurement model, a second-order frequency-locked loop (FLL)-assisted third-order phase-locked loop (PLL) is designed to obtain rolling information from magnetic signals, which is less dependent on the amplitude and able to reduce effect from geomagnetic blind area. Method of parameters optimization of tracking loop is discussed in the circumstance of different speed and it is verified by six degrees of freedom (six degrees of freedom (DoF)) trajectory. Also, the measurement error is analyzed to improve the accuracy of designed system. At last, experiments on rotary table are carried out to validate the proposed method indicating the designed system is able to track both phase and speed accurately and stably. The standard deviation (SD) of phase error is no more than 3°.

A water immersion technique for simulating zero- and partial-gravity conditions has been developed and employed to examine several extravehicular task areas in space. The technique allows the pressure-suited subject to move in six degrees of freedom unencumbered by connecting supports and simulates his biomechanical performance in weightless space. The technique is useful in examining the astronaut's capability to execute extravehicular work procedures, developing man-system engineering data, and as a training system. Several extravehicular task areas have been examined, including ingress-egress through airlock systems, manual self-locomotion, manipulation and maintenance tasks, and assessment of rescue procedures. Although limited in the study of rapid translatory tasks by the drag and damping effects of the water, the technique permits a perceptual equivalent simulation of complex manipulative tasks in real time. A description of the test procedures, equipment, and several typical tests is provided.
