This paper is devoted to correlation analysis of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, crucial for understanding cardiac function from multiple leads. Accurate synchronization via QRS detection facilitates the comparison of signals in time and discrete orthogonal transformation (DOT) domains. However, noise, muscle interference, and other signal distortions challenge QRS detection accuracy. We propose an enhanced method for Pan-Tomkin's detector, based on the statistical parameters of multi-lead ECG, to adjust QRS detections. This ensures a uniform number of QRS detections across all leads, resulting in synchronized correlation analysis. Correlation analysis, conducted on the Lobachewsky University ECG database, is evaluated in the time and sparse domains of discrete cosine transform and discrete wavelet transform. The study aims to reveal lead relationships in multiple domains, and their sparsity which can pave the way for usage of compression techniques.

The main contribution of this paper is to transfer a Mitsubishi RV-2AJ MELFA type industrial robot with 5 degrees of freedom into a virtual space using photogrammetry. The mesh model of the robot was realised in Meshroom software while for the assembly model we used Sold Edge 3D designer software based on reverse engineering principles. The accuracy to the digital twin was tested by comparing the trajectory of the TCP with the physical robot. Moreover, forward kinematic calculations in MATLAB environment were used to validate the model on mathematical way. The digital twin has the opportunity to receive sensor data and coordinates from the physical robot and can be integrated into digital laboratories emphasizing and demonstrating industrial 4.0 technologies in modern engineering education.

The dissemination of the kilogram, spanning from the national prototype to sub-multiples ranging from 500 g to 100 μg, entails over 200 comparisons, resulting in heightened uncertainty propagation. To improve this issue, alternative realisations are imperative. Over recent years, LNE-CNAM has developed an instrument for absolute laser power measurement employing pressure radiation and pyrolytic graphite properties. Capitalising on these advancements a prototype of a novel balance has been devised for low-mass and force measurements within the 0.6 nN–100 nN range with a targeted relative standard uncertainty of 1 %. This balance exploits the diamagnetic attributes of pyrolytic graphite to levitate a pendulum, achieving high sensitivity with magnetic support. This traceability is ensured by a traceable optical balance developed at LNE-CNAM.
Preliminary assessments on the first balance version demonstrate a sensitivity of 9.3 μrad·nN−1.
千克的传播,从国家原型到500克到100微克的子倍数,需要进行200多次比较,导致不确定性传播加剧。为了改善这一问题,必须有其他认识。近年来,LNE-CNAM开发了一种利用压力辐射和热解石墨特性测量绝对激光功率的仪器。利用这些进步,设计了一种新型天平的原型,用于0.6 nN - 100 nN范围内的低质量和力测量,目标相对标准不确定度为1%。这种天平利用热解石墨的抗磁性使钟摆悬浮,在磁性支撑下实现高灵敏度。这种可追溯性由LNE-CNAM开发的可追溯光学天平确保。对第一个平衡版本的初步评估表明灵敏度为9.3 μrad·nN−1。

This paper investigates the working principle of hydraulic impulse tools and, based on this principle and usage conditions, focuses on analysing the effects of air supply pressure, fastener torque rate, and extension rod on the tool's output torque. An experimental design was formulated to confirm the influence of these parameters on the tool's output torque. Based on the experimental data, it is recommended that these parameters be used as calibration standards for hydraulic impulse tools.

This paper contributes to enhance realistic sensation of a surgical training simulator using virtual reality technologies. The surgical training simulator for operating hard tissues such as bones and teeth has been developed in recent years. For enhancing the realistic sensation of the simulator, it is required to measure and model the surgical manipulation. In this study, we propose the measurement system of the chiseling operation to the hard tissue. In the proposed approach, the posture and acceleration of the chisel are measured by an Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor and the displacement is measured by a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) camera. The operating force to the chisel can be detected by the force sensor installed into the chisel. The chiseling motion can be estimated precisely by the sensor fusion technology in which the sensor data is integrated. The efficacy of the proposed measurement system is verified by the experiments.

This paper explores optimised data synchronisation methods, particularly automated techniques, for continuous force calibration developed within the ComTraForce project. Through rigorous experimentation and analysis, the study demonstrates the efficacy of resampling and synchronisation methodologies in enhancing calibration precision. Results indicate significant improvements in accuracy and reliability, particularly in the context of continuous force calibration applications. Additionally, uncertainty analysis approaches are discussed to provide insights into synchronisation error assessment. The findings underscore the importance of advanced synchronisation methods in achieving reliable calibration outcomes in continuous force testing environments.

This paper presents the improved dynamic PTB bridge standard which now generates fully symmetrical output signals. It can be used for dynamic bridge amplifier calibration according to ISO 4965–2 and operates with all combinations of dc and carrier frequency bridge supply voltages together with simulated measurement signals that can be static, dynamic, or a combination of both. Furthermore, it can be used for bridge amplifier linearity investigations due to its good inherent linearity. Consequently, it is a universal tool for most bridge amplifier investigations and calibrations, respectively.

The micro torque measurement and calibration technology is very important in the field of ships, aviation, and aerospace. Micro torque is one of the most important parameters of the key electromagnetic component of inertial navigation system, which is usually from the mN⋅m to μN·m. To measure its micro torque value, this paper introduces a standard torque device that can calibrate and measure the micro torque value of the electromagnetic components of inertial navigation systems. The device has a measurement range from 10−6 N·m to 10−4 N m, and a measurement uncertainty better than 1 % (k = 2). The device uses the micro-N·m torque calibration and measurement technology based on the flexure support, designs the ultra-thin, one-piece, and limit protection structure of the flexure support, realises the zero-stiffness support of the device, and solves the multi-degree-of-freedom torsional deformation problem of the flexure support, to make the micro-torque measurement range expand to 10−6 N m.
