DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-1158.2014.03.01
The high-temperature primary standard system was gradually improved through the continuing research work at the National Institute of Metrology (NIM) in China. Based on the developed primary standard pyrometer, an improved scheme, the “fixed-point blackbody pyrometer” assembly, was applied to realize and disseminate the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) above the silver point. The new scheme can correct the drifts of the pyrometer and extend the highest temperature range from 2 200 ℃ to 2 474 ℃. The expanded uncertainties of the scale were 0.08~0.62 ℃ between the temperature range  961.78~2 474 ℃.The uncertainties of the temperature scale are strongly supported by the international comparison of the high temperature fixed points’ ITS-90 values among China, the U K and Spain in 2009. The new method could be not only applied in the highest level calibration of the precise pyrometers, but also in the calibration of the 900 nm infrared thermometers.

DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-1158.2014.03.02
The derivations of the center of the ball installed on the rotary table are measured by double ballbar with circular paths in the error sensitive directions.  Hence, there are nine results measured from three mounting positions of the ball at the same rotation angle, to form four axis location and six motion errors identification model using homogeneous transformation.  In addition, the condition number is applied to select the optimum installation parameters of the ballbar.  Finally, the measurement and verification experiments are conducted on the four-axis machining center.  All the elements of the geometric error can be identified by the proposed method from the measured results with high accuracy and measuring effectively.  Then, comparing the predicted value from the identified errors with the measured results by ballbar, it shows that the absolute residual error is less than 0. 003 mm.

LIU Yue, LIN Jia-rui, LIU Tao, LIU Chang-jie, YE Sheng-hua
DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-1158.2014.03.03
A novel global calibration method for the multi-sensor vision measurement system in industrial field is proposed to solve the problem of multiple sensors of different types,large distribution space and complicated position relations in the car body-in-white vision measurement system. Based on the indirect coordinates transformation,two precise 3D targets are designed as the intermediary in coordinates transformation,and field calibration data is acquired by a laser tracker. On the basis of the unit quaternion global calibration model,the optimized transformation parameters can be established in order to unify the stationary sensor coordinates and flexible sensors coordinates to the global coordinate system. The method has been applied in the inline measurement station of a company successfully. Only the calibration of transformation relation between the sensor coordinates and the global coordinates is needed in the application filed. Therefore,the complex environmental restriction is reduced in multi-sensor global calibration. Meanwhile,the environment adaptability is improved and the calibration process is simplified. The maximum deviation of the vision measurement system is ±0.2 mm, which meets the accuracy requirements of the manufacture dimension changes control of car body-in-white.

DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-1158.2014.03.06
Based on the approach to estimate the image distortion coefficients through a set of collinear pints,the influence of the distance between the object plane and the lens plane on the image distortion coefficients is studied. Combined with the experimental result,the change rule of the distortion coefficients is explored. Then,the influence of the distortion coefficients (under various distances between the object plane and the lens plane) on the correction of the same gauge block is experimentally researched. The experimental results show that the correction results of gauge block image are different under different parameters of distortion coefficients. Only when the chosen distance in the distortion parameters is the same as the real imaging distance,the correction precision is the highest,and the measured accuracy of the gauge is also the highest.

With the aid of utilizing the diameter-variable ducts in the liquid cooling system as a throttling element, the coolant flow can be measured by using the differential pressure method. By applying data fitting to the experimental findings obtained from the groud calibration system, the characteristic curves of the coolant flow versus differential pressure for different temperature and pressure values were obtained. Furthermore, the formulate for the correction of calculated coolant flow were gained through linear interpolation. The flight test results indicate that the method is feasible for the measurement of the coolant flow of the aircraft liquid cooling system and, therefore, the problem of inconvenient refitting of flowmeter for the liquid cooling system has been solved.

268 Impact of Time Domain Window-adding for the Ramp Filter on Image Reconstruction
QIAO Zhi-wei
DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-1158.2014.03.15
The time domain window-adding method for the unit impulse response of the ramp filter is proposed. the unit impulse response of the ramp filter should be symmetrical and its length should be odd number to ensure that it is strict zero-phase. There are many windows to truncate the unit impulse response, for example, rectangle window, triangle window, Hanning window, Hamming windows, Blackman window etc. The simulation experiment demonstrates that the rectangle window is the best and the triangle window is the worst, for the triangle window depresses the first side petal overly. The precision of the CT images reconstructed by the others windows is in-between. The rectangle window should be used when the unit impulse response of the ramp filter is been truncated.

ZHANG Ming1, YANG Yuan-di1, LIU Hao-ran1,2
DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-1158.2014.03.21
A 4πγ well-type NaI(Tl) crystal counting device for gamma-ray detection at NIM is introduced. By analyzing the detected gamma spectrum of 60Co, it is found that the sum-peak counting effect is inevitable for nuclei with complex decay scheme using 4πγ well-type NaI(Tl) crystal. Further, a series of test experiments are carried out to investigate the performance of detector by changing the depth of 60Co source in the well. The results reveal that the sum-peak counting rate increases as the source moved to the bottom of the well, and the efficiency for full-energy peak has a slight reduction for the increasing sum-peak effect. Besides, the efficiency is reasonable lower at the mouth of the well-type NaI(Tl) crystal for the smaller solid angle coverage. Moreover, the energy calibration is also effected by the variation of source position.

SONG Ming-shun, ZHANG Jun-liang, FANG Xing-hua
DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-1158.2014.03.22
 Maximum entropy is one of the chief methods in the evaluation of measurement uncertainty based on probability distribution, and the higher moments it depended on  a larger sample of measurement data. However, measurement in calibration and testing laboratories is generally a small sample survey, so evaluation of measurement uncertainty based on the maximum entropy method for small samples lacks a certain degree of reliability. A method for uncertainty evaluation based on quantile function and probability weighting moment is put forward as the constraint condition of maximum information entropy method. By this way, the high order moment is fell down for a moment, the probability distribution is solved with the combination of genetic algorithm, and the complicated calculation problem arising from quantile interval estimation of asymmetric distribution is managed about with Bootstrap distribution estimation for expanded uncertainty and coverage interval.
