Determination of Parameters of Electronic Devices by the Method of Passive Radio-Sensor Technical Diagnostics

Introduction. Technical diagnostics (TD) as a nascent discipline is rapidly developing in the field of both software and hardware. Modern TD methods, such as vibrometry, thermal control, JTAG testing and optical control, either exhibit high inertia, consume processor time, require suspension of the electronic device, or demand a galvanic contact with the study object, which is often unacceptable. These disadvantages can be eliminated by passive radio-sensor TD. To date, little information has been published on the parameters of electronic devices provided by this method.Aim. Determination of the parameters of electronic devices, the assessment of which can be provided by passive radio-sensor TD.Materials and methods. Signal radio profiles were obtained experimentally using metrological equipment and software-numerical methods for modeling radio wave processes. The parameters of the signal radio profile were calculated by a mathematical method for solving differential equations.Results. The main principles and results of radio-sensor TD, as well as the simplest toolkit, are shown. An equation is obtained for the signal radio profile emitted by the electronic unit of the device, as well as an expression for its free components. An approach for assessing the TD correctness based on the number of free components of the received signal radio profile and the reference is described. The possibility of obtaining information about temperature, voltage drop, speed of emitting nodes, as well as the state of its components and modes of operation of p–njunctions is demonstrated. It is shown that this information is carried by the parameters of the basic equation for the signal radio profile.Conclusion. The derived basic equation allows a non-contact, remote passive radio-sensor TD to be conducted by correlation analysis of the received signal, providing a detailed examination of malfunctions in each electronic unit. The described TD method based on the presented parameters is promising for assessing the technical state of electronic devices.

Multi-objective Optimization of High-Speed Solenoid Valve for Biodiesel Electronic Unit Pump

Background: A larger response delay of a high-speed solenoid valve will cause inaccurate fuel injection timing and imprecise cycle injection quantity, resulting in diesel engine emission and increased fuel consumption. Objective: Biodiesel as an ideal alternative fuel has exceptional advantages in energy conservation, emission reduction, and low-carbon environmental protection; however, matching with Electronic Unit Pump (EUP) and its impacts on solenoid valve operation need to be further studied. Method: In the present work, a numerical model of EUP fueled with biodiesel was established in an AMESim environment, which was validated by the experiment. Then, combined with the Design of Experiments (DOE) method, key parameters influencing the solenoid valve response delay were predicted: armature residual air gap, spring preload, poppet valve half-angle, valve needle diameter, and poppet valve diameter. Finally, taking the response delay time of solenoid valve as targets, multi-objective optimization model for high-speed solenoid valve was established using NSGA-II (non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II) genetic algorithm in modeFRONTIER platform. Results: The optimized results showed that the delay time of the solenoid valve closing is reduced by 6%, the opening delay time is reduced by 20.8%, the injection pressure peak is increased by 1.8MPa, which is beneficial to accurate injection quantity and the application of biodiesel in diesel engines.

An Investigation of Some Reactions of N-Chlorocompounds

<p>A vast volume of literature exists on this subject, the major portion being concerned with nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reactions covered by the general equation:- Y + Alk - X --> Alk - Y + X (SN) where the new bond is formed by co-ordination, and the old one broken by heterolysis, as indicated by the dotted line. There is necessarily and electron transfer from the substituting species Y to the centre of substitution in Alk, and from this centre to the expelled group X; hence Y becomes formally one electronic unit more positive and X one unit more negative.</p>

MECHATRONIC CLAMPING MECHANISM WITH ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR FOR MACHINE SPINDLE UNITS

The design of the clamping mechanism for fixing workpieces and tools in the spindle assemblies of machines that is equipped with an additional subsystem to provide the possibility of programmable settings to the required clamping force is presented. The electronic unit and electromechanical energy converters provide the possibility of reconfiguration by reprogramming the clamping mechanism according to the different tasks comparatively easily. The obtained results help to expand the functionality of clamping mechanisms, and consequently the functionality of machine tools and their technological flexibility.

Electronic Unit for the Management of Energy Harvesting of Different Piezo Generators

The constant advance in the development of piezoelectric materials for energy harvesting has demanded new implementations in the electronics field. The piezoelectric property of these materials has been considered an energy source for low-power devices; nevertheless, the units that provide energy are usually adapted to just one piezoelectric device. This aspect complicates the process, taking into account the amount of time needed for an energy harvest; therefore, this research inquired at first into the adequate piezoelectric materials for carrying out the current study. Afterwards, an energy management unit was designed, considering the connection between some modules and allowing the sourcing of an electrolytic cell for producing hydrogen and, in turn, energy. The results evidence a decrease in time charging of the energy storage unit, which allows a cell’s supply of energy in shorter time intervals, its design efficiency being about 90%, in such a way that the energy harvested through the piezoelectric devices can be used in a better manner.
