Abstract: With Virtual Instrument technology, the authors designed liquid surface tension coefficient measurement system which has realized the computer measurement of the liquid surface tension coefficient by using of computers and data acquisition card and ELVIS and LabVIEW software and combining with the stress-sensitive sensor. Not only measurement speed is faster and more accurate, processing data is more convenient, operating performance is more stable, but also the measurement’s digitization and computerization is realized, and the system has laid a good foundation for processing the data further.

Abstract: The product quality will be affected by various stations during the multi-stations manufacturing. Various stations will have a mutual effect. The traditional process statistical control method can not find out the root of problems in a timely manner after errors in the products. This article has raised the concept of virtual stations on the basis of variation transferring model and then accurately find out the malfunction stations through assumption inspection. Finally, this article has taken the processing process of steering knuckle as an example to verify the raised theory.

Abstract: A model simplification method for linear discrete systems is presented to determine both numerator and denominator coefficients of a simplified model by differential evolution algorithm in order to minimize the root mean squared error between the step responses of original and simplified models. The performance of the proposed method was demonstrated by two examples with different orders and the results show that the method can yield a good approximation of the original system.

Abstract: Heartbeat mechanism is the key technology of fault detection in cluster system, and the performance of heartbeat detection restricts the efficiency of high-availability clusters. Heartbeat packets will be delayed or even lost in the case of system or network overload, leading to the lack of real-time detection, the increased misjudgment rate, and reducing the reliability of the system. Aiming at the issue, this paper presented a new real-time heartbeat mechanism. By controlling the time of sending heartbeat packets, real-time Ethernet TTEP avoids the network delay and collision, which will speed up the detection of node failure, thereby increase the availability and stability of cluster system.

Abstract: Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter of surface physical process and plays an important significance to the energy balance in the world. In this paper, based on the knowledge of atmospheric radiative transfer and the comparability of two satellites, 7 undetermined variables was solved. Then, eliminate the atmospheric effects on the remote sensing images by atmospheric correction model. The retrieval of atmospheric elements and the surface parameters, will also be presented. It’s a effective way to measure the LST. Following the disposal information and plentiful data increasing, the powerful computing resource was required. The computing capability in single computer fall short of demand. So the grid computing conception is introduced. We build a LST measurement system by grid service, it can solve the problem commendably.

Abstract: Based on the research of domestic and foreign vulnerability assessment systems, in this paper, we propose an improved network security assessment method based on Immunity algorithm. It integrates the advantages of both host based and network based scan system. Our goal is to explore the known security vulnerabilities, and to check hosts’ security effectively as well. It has the features of self-adaptive, distributed, and real time. Therefore, it provides a good solution to risk assessment for network security.

Abstract: To describe surface shape of the dust particle comprehensively, uses the bidirectional CCD to shoot picture of dust particle, through recognizing the bidirectional particle picture, matching the particle, computing the fractal results of identical particle in two pictures, and integrating two fractal results, obtains the dust particle bidirectional fractal. The results indicated that three fractal dimensions of spherical particle are quite closed, but the three fractal dimensions of flat type particle are significantly different.

Abstract: According to the characteristics of the information resources in modern acquisition, such as heterogeneous, distributed, loosely coupled, the problems and deficiencies of workflow technology and products were analyzed. Dynamic service grouping strategies based on SOA was proposed and was proved in theory. In addition, the workflow architecture based on SOA was built and the workflow engine of simulation-based acquisition (SBA) was designed. Therefore, the legacy code can be wrapped and the service can be grouped dynamically from the dynamic generic service factory. Grouping strategy was proved according to the SPOT satellite image application which was part of the SBA toolbox on grid. Experimental results show that: services grouping of a workflow can reduce the total overhead induced by the submission, scheduling, queuing and data transfer time. On a production grid infrastructure, the optimization proposed introduces a significant speed-up when compared to a traditional execution. The range is from 1.21 to 2.97.

Abstract: Collaborative product design is a complex and time-consuming process whereby geographically distributed designers from different disciplines cooperate and collaborate. Well-studied collaborative product design system reduces development time and creates better products. This paper discusses the characteristics of collaborative product design based on multi-agent technology to minimize the development time, cost and risk. In particular, the proposed agents can provide the interaction spaces for coordinating the individual design activities. Furthermore, the mechanism of intercommunications between agents is discussed. This research work constitutes initial effort towards optimization of process of collaborative product design. Future effort will focus on the software implementation of the theory presented in this paper.

Abstract: Purpose – Only limited attention has been paid to the issue of Measurement Data Quality (MDQ) in a metrology context. To address this critique of the literature a methodology to assure MDQ was proposed. Methodology – The study proposes a methodology which consists of four steps can be used to 1 identify the importance of a measurement (identification), 2 determine accuracy and precision (determination), 3 evaluate the criticality of the measurement to its impact on the final result (evaluation) and 4 record the facts that influenced the decision making process (documentation). Findings –When followed and properly documented, these four steps can help ensure our measurements are valid and worthwhile. Identifying the important measurements that are made, determining the level of accuracy required and then using the proper tools to make the measurements will yield valid, useful results.
