The measurement and compensation of volumetric positioning errors can greatly improve the accuracy of the machine tools. In this paper, a sequential step diagonal measurement is introduced to calibrate 9 volumetric positioning errors in a quick way. Measurements under various thermal conditions are preformed to understand the relationship between the volumetric positioning errors and the temper...

For low-energy organisms such as bivalves, the costs of thermal compensation of biological rates (synonymous with acclimation or acclimatization) may be higher than the benefits. We therefore conducted two experiments to examine the effect of seasonal temperature changes on behaviour and oxygen consumption. In the first experiment, we examined the effects of seasonal temperature changes on the ...

The temperature dependence of current-induced magnetization switching of ferrimagnetic CoGd free layers in spin valves is explored. At temperatures well above and well below the magnetization compensation temperature (T(MC)) of CoGd, a current flowing from the free layer to the CoFe fixed layer aligns the moments of the two layers parallel, and a current flowing in the opposite direction aligns...

The surface mixed layer of the ocean is often characterized by density compensation between the horizontal temperature and salinity gradients. In this contribution we present a combination of theoretical arguments and numerical simulations to investigate how compensation might emerge as a result of processes at work within the mixed layer. The dynamics of the mixed layer are investigated throug...

This paper proposes an efficient compensation method using a first-order approximation of time axis scaling for the variations of the room acoustic transfer function. The time axis scaling model is based on the fact that the change of the sound velocity due to the change of room temperature is a dominant factor for the variations of room impulse response affected by environmental conditions. In...

Global Navigation Satellite System performance can be significantly enhanced by introducing inter-satellite links (ISLs) in navigation constellation. The improvement in position, velocity, and time accuracy as well as the realization of autonomous functions requires ISL distance measurement data as the original input. To build a high-performance ISL, the ranging consistency among navigation sat...

This article introduces a new method for nano-Henry inductance measurements at the frequency of 4.999 MHz with a single quartz crystal oscillating in the switching oscillating circuit. The real novelty of this method, however, lies in a considerable reduction of the temperature influence of AT-cut crystal frequency change in the temperature range between 0 °C and 50 °C through a switching metho...

This paper investigates temperature compensation methods used for the scale factor and bias of the MEMS gyroscope within the temperature range from 40°C to 60°C. The structure and periphery monitor circuit are introduced. Then the determinant elements of the MEMS gyroscope’s scale factor are analysed and the results indicate that scale factor is directly proportional to drive amplitude and sens...

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a temperature compensation method for logarithmic CMOS image sensors. As Bandgap technique, the compensation circuit generates VPTAT1 and VPTAT2 voltages to compensate temperature variation of the sensor output signal voltage (Out-AC-Signal) which we call VCTAT1 and output reference voltage (VRef−ph) which we call VCTAT2. The proposed method is divided into th...
