    摘要: A system such as a flow velocity measuring system relies upon obtaining a signal having a slight phase difference from a carrier signal, due to a change in signal circuit characteristic. The disclosed arrangement provides highly sensitive detection of such slight phase differences, including the provision of signal components in mutual quadrature relation permitting selection and switching as a useful output signal of that component having an instantaneous value and polarity to meet a predetermined condition of positive-going value for a selected sense of phase change, in a leading or in a lagging sense. The system may be selected to be substantially insensitive to changes in carrier frequency, or to be amplitude insensitive.

    摘要: A fluid measurement system includes a first sensor and a second sensor disposed on a same pipe and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance; and a measurement controller configured to calculate a flow velocity of a fluid flowing through the pipe based on first output that is output from the first sensor and second output that is output from the second sensor. The measurement controller performs a process including (a) comparing the first output and the second output in a first period of time so as to repeatedly calculate a first time difference between the first output and the second output while shifting the first period of time, (b) calculating a second time difference based on a frequency of occurrence of a plurality of first time differences each calculated in the first period of time, and (c) calculating the flow velocity based on the second time difference.

    摘要: The flow rate of light scattering fluid is measured more easily and at a higher speed.
    A flow rate measuring method according to the present disclosure includes: generating two or more speckle images by continually imaging light scattering fluid to be measured, while defining time shorter than spatial correlation disappearance time corresponding to time in which spatial correlation between speckle patterns generated by the light scattering fluid disappears as exposure time, at a time interval shorter than the spatial correlation disappearance time; and calculating direction and speed of flow of the light scattering fluid from time variation of the speckle patterns between the two or more speckle images, in which the speckle images are imaged by using an imaging device mounted with an area sensor and a pixel group of a part of the area sensor or by using an imaging device mounted with a line sensor.

    摘要: A method for determining the velocity of a moving fluid surface, which comprises the following steps S1 to S5: S1) taking a sequence of images of the moving fluid surface by at least one camera; S2) comparing a first image from the sequence with a second image from the sequence in order to distinguish moving patterns of the fluid surface from non-moving parts and to obtain a first processed image (im_1f) comprising the moving patterns; S3) comparing a third image from the sequence with a fourth image from the sequence in order to distinguish moving patterns of the fluid surface from non-moving parts and to obtain a second processed image (im_2f) comprising the moving patterns; S4) comparing the first and second processed images in order to determine the spatial displacements of the moving patterns; and S5) determining from the spatial displacements the velocity.

    摘要: A method for calibrating a velocimetry system, the velocimetry system including at least one camera for imaging an illuminated volume comprising moving particles according to at least two different fields of view, comprising: receiving preliminary imaging equations; simultaneously acquiring sets of images of the illuminated volume from the fields of view; voxelizing the illuminated volume; dividing each voxelized volume into interrogation volumes and generating templates images of each interrogation volume for each field of view using the preliminary imaging equations, identifying a match between given clusters of particles in the corresponding template image and corresponding clusters of particles in the corresponding set of images; determining position disparities between the given clusters of particles within the template image and the corresponding clusters of particles within the set of images; and for each field of view, modifying the corresponding preliminary imaging equations based on the determined disparities.

    摘要: A speed sensor for a ship, more particularly, a thin speed sensor which can be mounted in the hull of the ship and remain flush with the outer surface of the hull. The transducer assembly for the speed sensor is composed of two thin piezoelectric transducers mounted in a spacer plate that locates them in an exact position relative to each other. A baseplate and a coverplate are affixed by appropriate adhesive techniques to each side of the transducers to create a single transducer assembly. Holes through the baseplate and spacer plate permit electrical contact to each side of the transducers so that they may be stimulated to generate acoustic waves. The entire transducer assembly is significantly thinner than the hulls of most watercraft. Thus, a large hole completely through the hull is not necessary. Rather, a shallow recess approximately equal to the thickness of the transducer assembly is made in the hull to countersink the transducer assembly flush with the hull. A small hole to permit the electrical connections to be made to the transducer assembly can be made in the hull if desired. This invention provides for the easy manufacture and mass production of a thin transducer assembly which may be used on a wide variety of watercraft, including sailboards, waterskis, row boats, as well as speedboats and larger ships.
