This paper describes the design of an intelligent multi-gyro measurement device to measure and monitor an inertial unit composed of three dynamically tuned gyros (DTGs). A 16-bit microprogrammed control unit is programmed to fulfill the functions of signal processing, logic control and serial communication with a master computer. An FPGA, designed by using Verilog Hardware Description Language, is used to realize high speed 16-bit reversible counters for output pulses of the DTG digital dynamic balance circuits. The count values represent the angular motion of the inertial unit. A stepping electric bridge is employed to measure the resistance of thermal resistors within the gyros in a wide temperature environment. The resistance represents the working temperature of the gyros. An effective calibration method for the bridge is developed to eliminate the resistance measurement error. A test system is established to examine whether the device meets the user requirements. Results of the tests show that the device has a good performance. A trial use has proved that the device is stable and reliable and that it satisfies the demand of the user.

Piston prover has been widely used as a gas flow standard for its advantages of high accuracy in standard volume, flow stability and repeatability. It has also been employed as the primary gas flow standard in many countries to calibrate meters. However, it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the inside dimension of the piston, thus the application of conventional piston provers are limited by the maximum calibration flow generated by the piston cylinder volume. In this paper, an improved piston gas prover that mainly consists of two uniform plungers was proposed. Their external diameter constitutes the flow standard. The plungers are driven by servo motor, and the high speed fieldbus EtherCAT has been introduced as the control unit. Hence the two pistons could work collaboratively and operate in three modes: single-piston mode, double-pistons parallel mode, and double-pistons reciprocating mode. Besides generating steady-flow rate, the double-plunger prover can even produce an unsteady-flow rate which could be used to research the dynamic characteristics of flow meters. The structure and working principle of the three modes were carefully introduced. Then experiments for calibrating critical nozzles were carried out, and the results show that the repeatability of the discharge coefficient could be better than 0.06%, and the pressure fluctuation during the process was less than 50 Pa.

The nature, occurrence, morphological basis and functions of insect wing deformation in flight are reviewed. The importance of relief in supporting the wing is stressed, and three types are recognized, namely corrugation, an M-shaped section and camber, all of which need to be overcome if wings are to bend usefully in the morphological upstroke. How this is achieved, and how bending, torsion and change in profile are mechanically interrelated, are explored by means of simple physical models which reflect situations that are visible in high speed photographs and films. The shapes of lines of transverse flexion are shown to reflect the timing and roles of bending, and their orientation is shown to determine the extent of the torsional component of the deformation process. Some configurations prove to allow two stable conditions, others to be monostable. The possibility of active remote control of wing rigidity by the thoracic musculature is considered, but the extent of this remains uncertain.

In order to make better use of excavator in foundation pit, a new excavator with telescopic arm is designed in this paper. The innovations mainly manifests in four aspects. First, the use of telescopic arm decreases the height for the excavation in foundation pit. Secondly, the design of truss-guide and trolley brings a high speed to excavator’s lateral move in large scale, easy for dirt shoveling in the wide foundation pit. Thirdly, the travelling system with two pails of dual-pedrail makes it possible for excavator free walking, flexible steering, and obstacle avoiding. The last but not the least, the wireless remote control technology can keep operators distant from danger and other unpleasant working conditions.
