چکیده

A procedure is introduced that can mitigate the deleterious effect of low-frequency noise [Formula: see text] often termed drift [Formula: see text] on the precision of an analytical experiment. This procedure offers several performance benefits over traditional designs based on the periodic measurement of standards to diagnose and correct for variation in instrument response. Using repeated measurements of every sample as a drift diagnostic, as opposed to requiring the periodic measurement of any given sample or standard, the analyst can better budget the measurement time to be devoted to each sample, distributing it to optimize the uncertainty of the analytical result. The drift is diagnosed from the repeated measurements, a model of the instrument response drift is constructed, and the data are corrected to a "drift-free" condition. This drift-free condition allows data to be accumulated over long periods of time with little or no loss in precision due to drift. More than 10-fold precision enhancements of analytical atomic emission results have been observed, with no statistically significant effects on the means. The procedure is described, performance data are presented, and matters regarding the procedure are discussed.

Gyroscope Drift Error Analysis in the Position-Independent Navigation Algorithm of a stable platform Inertial System

This paper deals with analyzing gyroscope drift error in the position-independent navigation algorithm of a stable platform inertial system. Most of the stable platform navigation algorithms proposed in the literature have drawbacks of estimating position rates for alignment commands. Not only the estimating position rates are the basic source of position errors, but they also make the alignmen...

A calibration technique to correct sensor drift issues in hot-wire anemometry

Accurate calibration is imperative to obtain reliable flow measurements using hot-wire anemometry. Calibration errors owing to temperature drift, wire degradation, changes in ambient conditions etc can lead to substantial uncertainties in hot-wire measurements. A new calibration procedure is implemented here to account for most forms of drift that are typically encountered during high quality f...

Application of multiplicative drift correction and component correction methods on simulated gas sensor array responses

Sensor response drift is one of the most challenging problems in gas-analyzing systems. Such systems, commonly called electronic noses, are expected to be reliable and reproducible in the long term. Due to the drift phenomena, electronic noses usability is limited to the relatively short period of time, and frequent recalibrations of the device are required. Since it is very hard to fabricate s...

Optimal Drift Correction for Superresolution Localization Microscopy with Bayesian Inference.

Single-molecule-localization-based superresolution microscopy requires accurate sample drift correction to achieve good results. Common approaches for drift compensation include using fiducial markers and direct drift estimation by image correlation. The former increases the experimental complexity and the latter estimates drift at a reduced temporal resolution. Here, we present, to our knowled...
