    摘要: This application relates to methods and apparatus for fiber optic sensing which can provide information about the environment in which the fiber optic is deployed. In particular the application relates to fiber optic based sensing of the mechanical impedance of the environment. The method comprises using an interrogator (201) to interrogate an optical fiber (104) which is coupled to a first element (202; 802) which is responsive to electromagnetic fields. In use a varying electric current (I), which may be an alternating current, is applied so as to induce a varying force (F) on said first element. The optical radiation backscattered from within the optical fiber is analyzed to determine a measurement signal indicative of a variation in the backscattered radiation corresponding with said electric current applied. The first element may be a first conductor (202) and the varying current may be supplied to the first conductor, or to a second conductor (701). Alternatively the first element could be a magnetic element (802). By applying a variable force to the first element, and hence the optical fiber, the characteristics of the environment can be determined.

    摘要: A method of using a dual-port measurement system to measure acoustic impedance is used to measure an acoustic impedance Z of a tested object. The tested object includes an input end and an output end opposite to the input end. The dual-port measurement system comprises a first impedance tube and a second impedance tube. The first impedance tube includes a first inlet where a plane wave of a sound source is input, and a first outlet connected with the input end. The second impedance tube includes a second inlet connected with the output end, and a second outlet where the plane wave is output. The method uses the dual-port measurement system and a two-boundary method to obtain the acoustic impedances Z, whereby the dual-port measurement system is conveniently applied to various fields, such as the design of earphones, muffler tubes, sound absorption materials, and artificial ears.

    摘要: A workpiece clamping status detection system and method for detecting a clamping state of a clamping device is provided. A clamping device having a clamping surface is configured to selectively clamp a workpiece to the clamping surface. The clamping device may be an electrostatic chuck or a mechanical clamp for selectively securing a semiconductor wafer thereto. A vibration-inducing mechanism is further provided, wherein the vibration-inducing mechanism is configured to selectively vibrate one or more of the clamping device and workpiece. A vibration-sensing mechanism is also provided, wherein the vibration-sensing mechanism is configured to detect the vibration of the one or more of the clamping device and workpiece. Detection of clamping status utilizes changes in acoustic properties, such as a shift of natural resonance frequency or acoustic impedance, to determine clamping condition of the workpiece. A controller is further configured to determine a clamping state associated with the clamping of the workpiece to the clamping surface, wherein the clamping state is associated with the detected vibration of the one or more of the clamping device and workpiece.
