For a quantitative understanding of light interaction with fruit tissue, it is critical to obtain two fundamental parameters: the absorption coefficient and the scattering coefficient of the tissue. This study was to investigate the optical properties of kiwifruit tissue at the wavelength of 632.8 nm. The total reflectance and total transmittance of kiwifruit tissue from three parts (including the flesh part, the seed part, and the seed-base part) were measured using a single integrating sphere system. Based on the measured spectral signals, the absorption coefficient μ a and the reduced scattering coefficient μ s' of kiwifruit tissue were calculated using the inverse adding-doubling (IAD) method. Phantoms made from Intralipid 20% and India ink as well as a Biomimic solid phantom were used for system validation. The mean values of μ a and μ s' of different parts of the kiwifruit were 0.031–0.308 mm−1 and 0.120–0.946 mm−1, respectively. The results showed significant differences among the μ a and μ s' of the three parts of the kiwifruit. The results of this study confirmed the importance of studying the optical properties for a quantitative understanding of light interaction with fruit tissue. Further investigation of fruit optical properties will be extended to a broader spectral region and different kinds of fruits.

The performance of twin-screw compressor is mainly decided by profiles of the two rotors. The constitution of new rotor profiles is studied, meanwhile the key technology of generating rotor profiles are mainly studied in this paper. A new method based on forward and reverse direction for generating rotor profiles with meshing lines is proposed.

In this paper, a novel surface reconstruction method is presented to creat a composite surface with point data on surface obtained by CMM. In this method, the 3th non-uniform B-spline algorithm is proposed to reconstruct every single free-form surface on the whole composite surface, and the algorithm for surface blending is proposed to merge every single surface together to achieve the level of G1 continuity. Furthermore, in order to check and visualize the reconstruction model, a special closed-loop RE system is developd by VC++ to constantly guide to measure and reconstruct untill the model fits in with requirements. Examples are included to illustrate the approach.

In the traditional screw compressor rotors profile generation method, the process of cockamamie parameters adjustment and confirmatory will take a long time, so that the modified results can’t be estimated in advance. Based on freeform curve, two rotor profiles generation methods are presented in this paper. One method is positive, and the female and male rotor profiles are acquired by every profile segment defined with freeform curve; another one is reverse, and the rotor profiles are derived through the meshing line. The rotor profiles are fitted by freeform curve and the shape of rotor profile can be adjusted by moving the control points. Finally, the two methods are used to developed a system for designing quickly the rotor profiles.

Take spare parts from front cylinder head of compressor as an example, the essay analyze feature of parameter in snap ring grooves, measure dimension error of cone angle in snap ring grooves in method of comparative measurement, solve the problem that parameter of similar spare parts can not be measured, implement gauge detection of size of snap ring grooves in method of comparative measurement.

To seek better methods of measurement and more accurate model of reconstruction in the field of reverse engineering has been the focus of researchers. Based on this, a new method of adaptive measurement, real-time reconstruction, and online evaluation of free-form surface was presented in this paper. The coordinates and vectors of the prediction points are calculated according to a Bézier curve which is fitted by measured points. Final measured point cloud distribution is in agreement with the geometric characteristics of the free-form surfaces. Fitting the point cloud to a surface model by the nonuniform B-spline method, extracting some check points from the surface models based on grids and a feature on the surface, review the location of these check points on the surface with CMM and evaluate the model, and then update the surface model to meet the accuracy. Integrated measurement, reconstruction, and evaluation, with the closed-loop reverse process, established an accurate model. The results of example show that the measuring points are distributed over the surface according to curvature, and the reconstruction model can be completely expressed with micron level. Meanwhile, measurement, reconstruction and evaluation are integrated in forms of closed-loop reverse system.
