FOCT is one kind of new-type precise sensor based on the principle of Faraday magneto-optical phase circling, its' complicated structure results in shot noise, intensity noise, hot phase noise, and electromagnetic interference noise, which have great effect on FOCT's performance. Relativity of noise random process in time domain and stability of noise random process in frequency domain are analyzed, based on the analysis results, noise identification model and algorithm are proposed, and different type noise in FOCT showing main character is quantified by using noise identification model and algorithm. Aiming on decreasing the influence of noise to FOCT performance, filtering algorithm is applied in FOCT data processing. Experiments show that noise character is complex, noise dentification model and noise filtering algorithm are effective in FOCT noise processing system.","PeriodicalId":297617,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129601065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that the filter coefficients obtained by OFM are local optima not global optima and MED is difficult in parameter selection, FOA is applied instead. A filtered signal is obtained by FOA and MED, and envelope demodulation is carried on it for fault diagnosis. Results from rolling bearing fault simulation experimental system show that the proposed method has better noise reduction performance and is able to extract fault features of rolling bearings, and it is better adapted to engineering applications as compared with prior MED method.","PeriodicalId":297617,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123888319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Via cyclic voltammetry, the reduction peaks of the cyclic voltammograms are collected for quantification purposes. pH values have been detected by this system, using a voltammetric H+-selective working electrode. Furthermore, the results show a good linearity (r = 0.998) and precision (RSD = 1.05 %) which are comparable with those of conventional three-electrode system.

In this paper, two LFE-QCR chips with different but both highly fundamental frequency are used to investigate the frequency dependence of LFE-QCR on liquid permittivity. And in order to observe the real-time change of frequency, a flow-injection-based system is established, which consist of a syringe pump, a sample injector, and a custom-made micro-flow cell. Sensitivity of LFE-QCR for permittivity has been confirmed by using different concentrations of 2-propanol.

Commercially available sensors were found sensitive, but less selective towards its target gases. To improve the selectivity, the authors have developed ZnO based sensing materials for detecting selectively methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide from a mixture of gases. The materials were found highly sensitive and selective towards its target gases at either room temperature or at low operating temperature around 100°C.
