The phrase "alignment sensor" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to technology, engineering, or mechanics, where it refers to a device that detects or measures alignment.
Example: "The technician used the alignment sensor to ensure that the machinery was properly calibrated before operation."
Alternatives: "alignment detector" or "alignment gauge".
The alignment concept relies on devices called alignment bars; these are long tubes (up to 9.6m) whose shape is constantly monitored at the level of 20μm by internal alignment sensors, and on which further alignment sensors are mounted in order to determine the positions of the nearby chambers.
After two years developing precision drift chambers at the Lab for High Energy Physics at ETH in Zurich, Paradiso joined the Draper Laboratory, where his research encompassed spacecraft control systems, image processing algorithms, underwater sonar, and precision alignment sensors for large high-energy physics detectors.
Alignment within sensor sets encompassed matching all Landolt C orientations from a particular sensor to the first "up" image taken in that set.
We describe algorithms for the concurrent estimation of alignment parameters, sensor resolutions and material thickness in the context of a beam test setup.
Then, the question of alignment between sensor and sample is analyzed in detail, and a novel, reasonable method of aligning is given.
No careful alignment of sensors.
Uncertainty arises naturally in the dynamic testing of structures due to measurement noise, sensor alignment error, modeling error, etc.
The high statistics data were used to study the response to different particles, perform sensor alignment and measure the longitudinal shower development in the sandwich.
In the work presented here we add a new autonomous agent, called the local fusion agent, to the CS-MAS architecture, addressing specific problems of on-line sensor alignment, registration, bias removal and data fusion.
This Bayesian method not only provides the most probable values of the modal parameters but also assesses the associated posterior uncertainty analytically, which is especially relevant in field vibration tests arising due to measurement noise, sensor alignment error, modelling error, etc.
