However, they perform poorly in regression problems. In addition, most of the remaining useful life (RUL) prediction methods require preprocessing such as statistical feature extraction on the signal, which makes the prediction process complicated. To solve the above problems, a DA method based on the representation subspace distance (RSD) is proposed for predicting the bearing RUL under different operating conditions. First, the proposed convolutional neural network (CNN) self-attention (SA) long short term memory network model is utilized to extract the deep features from the original signal, which overcomes the limitations of the CNN in extracting time series. Then, the RSD in the Riemannian geometry of the Grassmann manifold is proposed as a domain transfer loss to learn domain invariant features. The modified method can align the feature distribution of the source domain and the target domain without changing the feature scale. At the same time, the bases mismatch penalization is introduced to avoid destroying the semantic information of the features in the process of domain alignment. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experiments on four types of transfer tasks, and its superiority is also demonstrated by comparison with other advanced methods.","PeriodicalId":18526,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Science and Technology","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139450519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dummy cell signals for EIS can be easily understood and simulated by existing EIS signal analysis software, while dummy cell signals for CV curves have no simulation formula so far. When using dummy cells for CV tests, users can only observe if the CV curves obtained seem to be correct, which impairs the accuracy and efficiency of quality as well as functionality judgement of an EC instrument. In this study, we conducted CV signal analyses on 5 cases of equivalent circuits consisting of multiple resistors and capacitors, with their correctness verified by dummy cell experiments using two different potentiostats. Based on the measured CV signals, we further demonstrated a data process method to judge the performance of a potentiostat quantitatively and automatically.

To address the issue, a novel CVAE variant namely CVAE with distribution augmentation (DECVAE) is developed, to generate a set of high-quality augmented samples that are different but share very similar characteristics and categories with the corresponding real samples. First, DECVAE add a new sample distribution distance loss into the optimization objective of traditional CVAE. Amplifying this loss in training process can make the augmented samples cover a larger space, thereby improving diversity. Second, DECVAE introduces an auxiliary classifier into traditional CVAE to enhance the sensitivity to category information, keeping the augmented samples class invariance. Furthermore, to ensure that the information of edge-distributed samples can be fully learned and make augmented samples representative and authentic, a novel multi-model independent fine-tuning strategy is designed to train the DECVAE, which utilizes multiple independent models to fairly focus on all samples of the minority class during DECVAE training.

Sensors are often installed in harsh environments and prone to all kinds of faults; therefore, it is necessary to diagnose sensor faults. A diagnostic method for sensor faults based on gradient histogram distribution (GHD) combined with light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) is presented in this paper. This proposed method effectively utilizes the coupling information between the relevant parameters. The GHD efficiently extracted the time-domain characteristics of sensor faults and reduced the dimension of eigenvectors. This is beneficial to increasing the diagnostic speed. The kernel density estimation distributions of the gradient and eigenvectors for the sensor with strong correlation are similar, but that for the sensor with weak correlation are completely different. A LightGBM classifier trained based on the feature vectors was utilized to diagnose and classify the sensor faults. The diagnosis accuracy and the diagnosis time of this developed method were examined using the multiple-condition practical operation data of gas turbines in the IES. The experiment results demonstrate that the diagnostic accuracy of five sensor faults using this developed method is all above 90%. The diagnostic time is about 0.47–1.34 s, and is less than 2 s for the gradual faults.","PeriodicalId":18526,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Science and Technology","volume":"23 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139450777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, global navigation satellite systems have become the main means of determining the orbits of LEO satellites. The global navigation satellite system receiver onboard the Tianjin University No. 1 (TJU-01) satellite receives both GPS and BDS-2/3 signals, with the addition of BDS-2/3 observations playing an important role in improving the POD of LEO satellites. This study comprehensively analyzes the spaceborne GPS/BDS data quality, including BDS-2/3 and GPS code multipath errors. Appreciable code multipath errors are found for the B1I signal of BDS-2 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites at elevations higher than 40°, whereas slight near-field relevant multipath errors of both frequencies are found for GPS and BDS-3 MEO satellites. The GPS and BDS-2/3 code multipath errors are estimated through elevation/azimuth-relevant piece-wise modeling and applied in the POD calculations. Several schemes, namely GPS-based, BDS-based, BDS-based without geo-synchronous (GEO) satellites, and GPS/BDS combined schemes, are designed to evaluate the POD performance. Fourteen days of data are calculated and the average three-dimensional (3D) orbital root mean square (RMS) of orbit overlapping differences obtained from GPS-based and BDS-based POD (without GEO satellites) solutions are 37.4 and 27.1 mm, respectively. The BDS-based solutions are obviously better than the GPS-based solutions, mainly owing to better data availability. The GPS/BDS combined solutions have the best accuracy, with a 3D RMS value of 20.6 mm. In addition, when BDS GEO satellites are included, the 3D RMS of the overlapping orbit differences reduces to 32.9 and 27.4 mm for BDS-based and GPS/BDS combined solutions, respectively. Double-difference (DD) and single-difference (SD) integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) are adopted to further improve the POD performance. The fixed orbit of the TJU-01 satellite is solved through DD IAR and SD IAR, and the contribution of the TJU-01 satellite to ambiguity fixing is analyzed. Relative to the float solution, the improvements made using the two ambiguity fixing approaches are equivalent, both being approximately 13%. The importance of this research is not only the precise determination of the orbit of TJU-01 for occultation service but also the demonstration of the contribution of BDS observations to the performance of the POD of LEO satellites.","PeriodicalId":18526,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Science and Technology","volume":"64 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139385538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a novel multiscale feature extraction method is proposed in this paper, that leverages convolutional neural networks to simultaneously extract deep semantic features and shallow geometric features. Through the mechanism of channel-wise self-attention, prominent features are further extracted and compressed, preserving advantageous features for distinction and thereby reducing the impact of occlusions and pose variations on expression recognition. Meanwhile, inspired by the large cosine margin concept used in face recognition, a center cosine loss function is proposed to avoid the misclassification caused by the underlying interclass similarity and substantial intra-class feature variations in the task of expression recognition. This function is designed to enhance the classification performance of the network through making the distribution of samples within the same class more compact and that between different classes sparser. The proposed method is benchmarked against several advanced baseline models on three mainstream wild datasets and two datasets that present realistic occlusion and pose variation challenges. Accuracies of 89.63%, 61.82%, and 91.15% are achieved on RAF-DB, AffectNet and FERPlus, respectively, demonstrating the greater robustness and reliability of this method compared to the state-of-the-art alternatives in the real world.","PeriodicalId":18526,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Science and Technology","volume":"42 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139384971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, traditional monitoring methods based on a single model may ignore other data characteristics and obtain poor monitoring performance. Aiming at this problem, a novel monitoring method based on multi-model information extraction and fusion is proposed in this paper. Firstly, several methods are used to extract different characteristics from process data. For example, principal component analysis, independent component analysis and slow features analysis can be used to extract Gaussian, non-Gaussian and dynamic characteristics respectively. Secondly, features extracted from multiple models are combined into new potential features. Then, Lasso regression models between potential features and process variables are established. In this way, not only are multiple characteristics in process data considered during the reconstruction, but key potential features (KPFs) can be selected for each process variable. The KPFs for each process variable can form a monitoring subspace to enhance the sensitivity for fault detection. Furthermore, cluster analysis is used to reduce the redundancy of monitoring subspaces based on the similarity of each subspace. Process monitoring can be achieved by fusing the monitoring results of finally determined multiple subspaces and residual space. Case studies on three simulation processes and a real industrial process demonstrate the effectiveness and better performance.","PeriodicalId":18526,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Science and Technology","volume":"20 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139389428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deep learning can solve the above problems, but it has its own problems such as complex model and large amount of parameters. Additionally, privacy considerations among enterprises prevent data sharing, leading to the emergence of \"data islands\" and inadequate training of deep learning models. Based on the above analysis, this paper proposes a reciprocating mechanical feature extraction method based on an improved federated lightweight network. A lightweight network SqueezeNet model is used to solve the problems such as long training time of deep learning. By establishing a federated learning framework, the reciprocating mechanical data can be collectively diagnosed across various enterprises, thereby addressing the problem of limited model training caused by insufficient data. Furthermore, to enhance the accuracy of network training and diagnosis, modifications are made to the SqueezeNet network to reduce the number of model parameters while increasing the number and variety of feature extractions. Experimental results demonstrate that when the number of 1×1 and 3×3 channels is 1 to 7, the fault diagnosis accuracy is the highest, about 97.96%, which enriches the categories of feature extraction. The number of parameters in In-SqueezeNet is 56% of that in SqueezeNet network model, and the training time is reduced by nearly 15%. The fault diagnosis accuracy is increased from 95.1% to 97.3%, and the diversity of extracted features is increased. Compared with other network models such as ResNet, the improved lightweight federated learning network has a fault diagnosis accuracy of 96.6%, an improvement of 10.6%.
