This research aims to build a computer-based system for measuring slub yarn characteristics and evaluating the results using statistical methods. The measuring system was based on the electrical condenser of the Uster evenness tester as a measuring sensor. A digital storage oscilloscope was used to convert the analogue output signals into digital data to be recorded on a computer. A designed computer program was constructed using MatLab language for signal analysis based on a proposed method. Final results from this system contained graphical plots for the three measured slub yarn geometrical parameters slub length, slub distance, and slub thickness and a final report for all the measured slub yarn characteristics. The results of tested slub yarn samples showed that actual slub geometrical parameters differ from nominal values and the difference had two level: prevailing difference and outlier values. Outliers which are considered slub yarn defects were detected and counted in a final report using the box plot statistical method which could be an effective industrial tool for evaluation of both yarn quality and machine performance. The prevailing difference was assessed using histogram comparison which could help in adjusting the setting of slub yarn device to obtain the required appearance.

It’s very difficult to get high precision measuring result using contact torquemeter because of very low signal-to-noise ratio. To overcome this defect, a wireless torque measuring system is designed based on CC2500. This system uses strain gauge torque sensor to measure the surface principal stress of the transmission shaft, and get the maximum shearing stress, and then the torque that the transmission shaft bears. The weak output signal of torque sensor is magnified by the instrumentation amplifier AD623, and sent to the analog-to-digital convertor. These digital data are transmited to the portable receiving terminal by the wireless transceiver chip CC2500. The dynamic wireless torque measurement is realized by this system.

Vertical resolution is an essential indicator of digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) and the key to improving resolution is to increase digitalizing bits and lower noise. Averaging is a typical method to improve signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the effective number of bits (ENOB). The existing averaging algorithm is apt to be restricted by the repetitiveness of signal and be influenced by gross error in quantization, and therefore its effect on restricting noise and improving resolution is limited. An information entropy-based data fusion and average-based decimation filtering algorithm, proceeding from improving average algorithm and in combination with relevant theories of information entropy, are proposed in this paper to improve the resolution of oscilloscope. For single acquiring signal, resolution is improved through eliminating gross error in quantization by utilizing the maximum entropy of sample data with further noise filtering via average-based decimation after data fusion of efficient sample data under the premise of oversampling. No subjective assumptions and constraints are added to the signal under test in the whole process without any impact on the analog bandwidth of oscilloscope under actual sampling rate.

In the design of photocathode, the internal electric field could be formed due to the graded Al compositional [Formula: see text] nanostructure, which can improve the top surface emission probability of carriers. In this paper, [Formula: see text] nanostructure array photocathode composed of two sub-layers is presented. Based on the finite element method, the influence of graded geometrical parameters on their optoelectronic characteristics is investigated. The results show that when the thickness of the sublayer is equal, the difference of the Al composition between the two sublayers of nanostructure is larger, the sub-layers are less, and the quantum efficiency is higher. The light capture ability of the photocathode can be enhanced by increasing the thickness and the array spacing of the first sublayer. Compared with the hexagonal cross-section structure, the light trapping effect and spectral response of the circular cross-section structure are better.

Application of surface and subsurface waves for control of objects with a double-layer structure allows to extend possibilities of diagnostics of their physico-mechanical properties. The purpose of work was to determine conditions and offer recommendations providing measuring of ultrasonic velocity and amplitude of the former modes in protective layers and in basis of object at one-sided access to its surface.The analysis of an acoustic path of a measuring system in relation to ultrasonic evaluation of the objects having the restricted sizes and the protective coating according to velocity data of the surface and subsurface waves propagation is made. On the basis of representations of beam acoustics the dependences connecting a wavelength of the excited surface and subsurface modes, thickness and width of a controlled object, acoustic base of a sounding are defined. There are to provide a condition leveling of the influence of an acoustical noise created by the reflected and accompanying waves on parameters of acoustic signal with the given quantity of oscillations in an impulse.The principle opportunity is shown and conditions for determination of velocity of subsurface body waves in the base material which is under a protective coating layer are established. For these purposes on the basis of use of the block of ultrasonic probes the optimum scheme of a sounding is offered and the analytical expression for calculation of required velocity considering varying of thickness of a covering is received.The method of acoustical measuring realized by a direct and reverse sounding of the objects with small aperture and angle probes was analysed and formulas for determination of speed of subsurface wave under protective layer of the wedge form have been got. An ultrasonic device is suggested for the excitationreception of subsurface waves with different speed in objects (on 20–35 %) using for the acoustic concordance of environments of metallic sound duct as a wedge. Possibility of leveling of interference in a protective layer to control efects in basis of material by a volume wave by creation of supporting echo-signal of longitudinal wave of the set frequency and entered normally to the surface of object was studied.


Skin is the one of the most important organ present in our body that does some of the important functions like protection, temperature regulation etc. Due to some conditions, skin is affected by many abnormalities. The abnormalities may be smaller or larger, which depends on the damage caused to the skin. Some abnormalities of skin are irritations, allergic reactions, swelling etc. One of the most major problems that affect the skin completely is of skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer that affects the 40% of people in all over world. It may be caused due to several factors like genetic, working in hazardous chemical areas, exposure to sun, repeated X-ray exposures etc. All of these factors affects the skin and causes skin cancer. Skin biopsy is a major technique used at present to detect all types of skin cancers. As this biopsy method is invasive, and takes more time to check the cancer tissue, we are using this optical method for detection of skin cancer. Optical imaging is the upcoming technology that plays the major role in all fields. In this method Near Infra-Red (NIR) light source is passed into the affected skin region. The transimpedance amplifier is used to amplify the output from photodiodes. Then the output from the photodiodes is connected to the Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) in which the waveform shows the variations due to skin cancer.

Purpose. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the efficacy of an anterior chamber injection of moxifloxacin in the prevention of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. Methods. A computer-based search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the Clinical Trial database for articles related to anterior intraventricular injection of moxifloxacin for the prevention of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery was performed through April 2019. Study selection, data exclusion, and quality assessment were performed by two independent observers. Statistical analysis for the meta-analysis was performed by RevMan5.3 software. Results. Eight studies were included, with a total of 123,819 eyes. The meta-analysis showed that an anterior chamber injection of moxifloxacin can prevent the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery (OR = 0.29, 95% CI (0.15, 0.56), P=0.0002), and the difference was statistically significant. There were no significant differences between the moxifloxacin injection and nonmoxifloxacin injection groups in regard to UCVA (log MAR) (SMD = −0.13, 95% CI (−0.62, 0.35), P=0.60), BCVA (log MAR) (SMD = −0.27, 95% CI (−1.28, 0.74), P=0.60), IOP (SMD = −0.04, 95% CI (−0.02, 0.01), P=0.22), corneal edema (OR = 1.03, 95% CI (0.23, 4.69), P=0.97), CCT (SMD = −0.01, 95% CI (−0.07, 0.05), P=0.77), or ECD (SMD = 0.00, 95% CI (−0.06, 0.07), P=0.94). Conclusion. An anterior chamber injection of moxifloxacin can effectively prevent the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery, while the moxifloxacin injection and nonmoxifloxacin injection groups had similar results in regard to UCVA (log MAR), BCVA (log MAR), IOP, corneal edema, CCT, and ECD.
