熔化石英球体体积的确定

描述了对水的密度进行绝对测量的熔化石英球体体积的确定。此球体的直径用光学干涉仪测量,即将此球体放置在两个平行标准板之间,而其间距的精确值已知。通过测量每块标准板表面到球体之间的间隙而测得其直径。为了使用精确的分数法,采用了两种波长:频率稳定的 He-Ne 激光器为633nm 及 He-Cd 激光器为441nm。详细阐述了为干涉仪克服熔化石英表面的低反射性而采取的特殊安排。同时,也介绍了一种消除由于石英球体的透明性而引起的伪效应的方法。此直径(大约85mm)测得值的标准偏差为5～12nm,体积上就相当于0.16～0.43ppm(1ppm=1×10~(-6)),此体积的总不确定度估计为0.26～0.48ppm。

毫米波雷达的原理与应用(一)

历来最为流行的雷达工作频率都在电磁频谱上约300兆赫和35千兆赫之间,这一区域基本上包括了特高频和超高频段。然而,除远程超视距雷达以外,大多数现代雷达都工作在特高频段的高端,更为可能的是工作在超高频段的某些频率上,典型值在1千兆赫和35千

系统指向误差对激光测距能力的影响

本文讨论了系统指向误差、发射束宽及激光测距机测距能力之间的相互关系。一般说来,由于系统的指向误差具有统计性质,因此,测距成功概率可通过这些关系来确定。本文对一种激光测距系统进行了详细分析,该激光测距系统在常平架上安装了镜子用作光学中继器。

Thoracic sonography for pneumothorax: the clinical evaluation of an operational space medicine spin-off

The recent interest in the use of ultrasound (US) to detect pneumothoraces after acute trauma in North America was initially driven by an operational space medicine concern. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are at risk for pneumothoraces, and US is the only potential medical imaging available. Pneumothoraces are common following trauma, and are a preventable cause of death, as most are treatable with relatively simple interventions. While pneumothoraces are optimally diagnosed clinically, they are more often inapparent even on supine chest radiographs (CXR) with recent series reporting a greater than 50% rate of occult pneumothoraces. In the course of basic scientific investigations in a conventional and parabolic flight laboratory, investigators familiarized themselves with the sonographic features of both pneumothoraces and normal pulmonary ventilation. By examining the visceral–parietal pleural interface (VPPI) with US, investigators became confident in diagnosing pneumothoraces. This knowledge was subsequently translated into practice at an American and a Canadian trauma center. The sonographic examination was found to be more accurate and sensitive than CXR (US 96% and 100% versus US 74% and 36%) in specific circumstances. Initial studies have also suggested that detecting the US features of pleural pulmonary ventilation in the left lung field may offer the ability to exclude serious endotracheal tube malpositions such as right mainstem and esophageal intubations. Applied thoracic US is an example of a clinically useful space medicine spin-off that is improving health care on earth.
