Abstract Various medical procedures are accomplished by manipulating skin temperature in a nonuniform pattern. Skin temperature monitoring is essential to assess conformance to protocol specifications and to prevent thermal injury. Existing solutions for skin temperature monitoring include single point sensors, such as thermocouples, and two-dimensional methods of sensing surface temperature, such as infrared thermography, and wearable technology. Single point sensors cannot detect the average temperature and consequently their measurements cannot be representative of average surface temperature in a nonuniform temperature field. Infrared thermography requires optical access, and wearable sensors may require complex manufacturing processes and impede the heat exchange with a source by introducing a layer of insulation. Our solution is a two-dimensional resistance temperature detector (2D RTD) created by knitting copper magnet wire into custom shapes. The 2D RTDs were calibrated, compared to one-dimensional sensors and wearable sensors, and analyzed for hysteresis, repeatability, and surface area conformation. Resistance and temperature were correlated with an R2 of 0.99. The 2D RTD proved to be a superior device for measuring average skin temperature exposed to a nonuniform temperature boundary in the absence of optical access such as when a full body thermal control garment is worn.

Preservation of materials using liquid nitrogen media has been widely used. One of them is used in the medical field, namely cryonic technology. Cryonics is a method of preservation at cold temperatures using a cryoprotectant in liquid nitrogen. To maintain the quality of the material, a sensor that can detect the temperature of liquid nitrogen is needed. Low temperature sensors with Cu and Ni based Resistance Temperature Detector with layers (RTD) have been made, but these sensors have a layer of Ni deposits that are not yet homogeneous. So quality improvement is needed by adding an external magnetic field. Based on this, the aim of this research is to synthesize a thin layer of Cu / Ni using electroplating method assisted by external magnets parallel to the ion currents

Signal measuring is an important link in machine fault diagnosis. Accurate and reliable fault signals can be achieved by reasonable signal measuring. When the distance between sensor and measuring gear or bearing is comparatively far, the collected signals became weak and disturbed by other vibratory signals in equipments on bearing and gear fault analysis. Useful signals often were submerged in powerful noise, so caused difficult in extracting fault feature. In this paper, according to the feature of vibratory signals in machine test, wavelet analysis basic theory was applied on researching basic feature of wavelet analysis. By selecting suitable wavelet function and applying wavelet elimination noise technology the signal to noise ratio of signal was raised, thus the vibratory impact component can be measured in weak signals. Finally, wavelet analysis was applied on bearing fault diagnosis.

In remote measurement systems, the lead wire resistance of the resistance sensor will produce a large measurement error. In order to ensure the accuracy of remote measurement, a novel lead-wire-resistance compensation technique is proposed, which is suitable for a two-wire resistance temperature detector. By connecting a zener diode in parallel with the resistance temperature detector (RTD) and an interface circuit specially designed for it, the lead-wire-resistance value can be accurately measured by virtue of the constant voltage characteristic of the zener diode when reverse breakdown occurs, and compensation can thereby be made when calculating the resistance of RTD. Through simulation verification and practical circuit testing, when the sensor resistance is in 848–2120 Ω scope and the lead wire resistance is less than 50 Ω, the proposed technology can ensure the measuring error of the sensor resistance within ±1 Ω and the temperature measurement error within ±0.3 °C for RTDs performing 1000 Ω at 0 °C. Therefore, this method is able to accurately compensate the measurement error caused by the lead wire resistance in two-wire RTDsand is suitable for most applications.

Based on the analysis of the advantages and limits of the traditional fault tree and Bayesian network in fault diagnosis, the method that building the fault Bayesian network based on fault tree is proposed in this paper. The paper introduces the correspondences between elements of the fault tree and the fault Bayesian network, also describes the inference process of the junction tree algorithm in the fault Bayesian network. Then with the foundation brake rigging system of CRH380AL EMU as an example, we build up the fault tree, complete its transmission to the fault Bayesian network, proving the superiority of the fault Bayesian tree in fault analysis of the complex system at last.
