    摘要: A preview road surface detection device of a vehicle of the present invention includes: a distance sensor that is disposed in a vehicle member and detects a distance to a measurement point on a road surface nearer to a front part of the vehicle, corresponding to at least a central portion of a contact patch to the road surface of a wheel of the vehicle; and a distance calculator that calculates a road surface distance from the vehicle member to the measurement point, based on a value detected by the distance sensor. A displacement of the road surface nearer to the front part of the vehicle is detected as a road surface condition. The displacement of the road surface is calculated from the road surface distance and a vehicle height of the vehicle member when the distance sensor detects the distance.

    摘要: A wafer is prepared, and a thickness shape of the prepared wafer at each position in a radial direction is measured for each of a predetermined number of angles into which 360 degrees of a circumference around the center of the wafer are divided. The thickness shape obtained by a measuring machine for each angle is approximated with a sixth or higher order polynomial, and a function of the wafer thickness at the position in the radial direction is created. The thickness shape outputted by the measuring machine and a thickness shape outputted by the function are compared with each other, and an error on the entire surface of the wafer is confirmed to be not greater than a predetermined error. After the confirmation, information of the function for each angle is attached to the wafer as data representing the wafer shape and supplied to a user.

    摘要: A sensing apparatus for detecting speed bumps or potholes on a road is disclosed. The sensing apparatus comprises a telemetric sensing system configured to collect a plurality of position vectors by telemetric sensing of a road surface, wherein each position vector extends from a common origin to a respective point on the road surface and wherein each position vector has a length and a direction. The sensing apparatus further comprises a processing circuitry configured to detect a road flatness exception by evaluating the lengths of the position vectors. Thus, an improved apparatus for detecting road irregularities such as speed bumps or potholes on a road is provided. The sensing apparatus remains functional in low light conditions, e.g., at night, and also in the presence of reverberation of the vehicle. In an implementation form, the telemetric sensing system may comprise one or more radar sensors and/or one or more lidar sensors for collecting the plurality of position vectors using radar and/or lidar measurements.

    摘要: A flatness measurement device includes a movement platform, a standard component, a first flatness measuring device, a second flatness measuring device and a processor. The movement platform is used for driving a to-be-measured object to move. The standard component and the movement platform move together. The first flatness measuring device is used for measuring a first flatness information of the to-be-measured object when the to-be-measured object moves. The second flatness measuring device is used for measuring a second flatness information of the standard component when the standard component moves. A flatness information of the to-be-measured object is obtained by deducting the second flatness information from the first flatness information by the processor.

    摘要: The present invention belongs to the technical field of irrigation and water conservancy, and discloses a method for acquiring anisotropic basin surface roughness and use thereof. The method includes: preselecting two experimental strip fields respectively parallel to length direction and width direction of a target basin, to respectively acquire first surface water flow advancing process data of the two experimental strip fields, where the target basin may be regarded as a square-shaped field; acquiring two pieces of isotropic basin surface roughness respectively by using one-dimensional complete hydrodynamic model for basin irrigation according to the surface water flow advancing process data; and substituting the isotropic basin surface roughness into an elliptic equation that anisotropic basin surface roughness satisfies, to solve anisotropic basin surface roughness of the target basin, the anisotropic basin surface roughness including basin surface roughness components parallel to and perpendicular to shallow furrows on basin surface and crop planting direction in the target basin. The anisotropic basin surface roughness can truly reflect the resistance of the basin surface against the water flow, thereby improving simulation precision of surface irrigation hydrodynamics, and acquiring more accurate irrigation performance indexes.
