A Microwave Ring-Resonator Sensor for Non-Invasive Assessment of Meat Aging

  • Muhammad Taha Jilani,
  • Wong Peng Wen,
  • Lee Yen Cheong and
  • Muhammad Zaka Ur Rehman

20 January 2016

The assessment of moisture loss from meat during the aging period is a critical issue for the meat industry. In this article, a non-invasive microwave ring-resonator sensor is presented to evaluate the moisture content, or more precisely water holdin...

DC-Compensated Current Transformer

  • Pavel Ripka,
  • Karel Draxler and
  • Renata Styblíková

20 January 2016

Instrument current transformers (CTs) measure AC currents. The DC component in the measured current can saturate the transformer and cause gross error. We use fluxgate detection and digital feedback compensation of the DC flux to suppress the overall...

  • Qile Zhao,
  • Guangxing Wang,
  • Zhizhao Liu,
  • Zhigang Hu,
  • Zhiqiang Dai and
  • Jingnan Liu

20 January 2016

Using GNSS observable from some stations in the Asia-Pacific area, the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) and multipath combinations of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), as well as their variations with time and/or elevation were investigated and c...
