With the adoption of the revised International System of Units (SI), the Kibble balance has become a pivotal instrument for mass calibrations against the Planck constant, $h$. One of the major focuses in the Kibble balance community is…

The Kibble balance is a precision instrument for realizing the mass unit, the kilogram, in the new international system of units (SI). In recent years, an important trend for Kibble balance experiments is to go tabletop, in which the…

This paper presents a customized weighing unit developed for the Tsinghua tabletop Kibble balance. The system is based on a flexure hinge mechanism sourced from a commercial weighing cell, with a major modification to the feedback control…

Tabletop version Kibble balances are a significant developing trend for mass realizations following the revised International System of Units. A key innovation through the miniaturization of the Kibble balance from a large-scale instrument…

This paper presents recent advances in the KBmini Kibble balance, a tabletop system for E2-accuracy mass calibration up to 1 kg. The $Bl(z)$ profile is characterized by manually setting the magnet at different vertical positions, and the…

A high-precision current source, capable of supporting weighing measurements with a relative uncertainty at the $10^{-9}$ level, is essential for Kibble balance experiments. However, most current sources utilized in Kibble balances to date…

This paper presents a novel seven-channel optical measurement system for monitoring coil parasitic motion and mass position in the Tsinghua Tabletop Kibble balance. The system employs seven spectrally-confocal displacement sensors arranged…

This paper presents an ultra-stable current source tailored for the one-mode, two-phase (OMTP) measurement scheme in Tsinghua tabletop Kibble balances. To achieve simultaneous high resolution and nA/A-level stability, a composite…

A tabletop-sized Kibble balance (KIBB-g1) designed to directly realize mass at the gram-level range with uncertainties on the order of parts in 10$^6$ has been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The…

The ``Quantum Electro-Mechanical Metrology Suite'' (QEMMS) is being designed and built at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It includes a Kibble balance, a Graphene quantum Hall resistance array and a Josephson voltage…

A global effort to redefine our International System of Units (SI) is underway and the change to the new system is expected to occur in 2018. Within the newly redefined SI, the present base units will still exist but be derived from fixed…

This is the preprint version of our paper on REHAB2015. A balance measurement software based on Kinect2 sensor is evaluated by comparing to Wii balance board in numerical analysis level, and further improved according to the consideration…

Design and operational performance of table-top measurement apparatus is presented towards direct Planck constant traceable high accuracy and high precision small forces and optical power measurements within SI unit system. An…

With the redefinition of the international system of units, the value of the Planck constant was fixed, similarly to the values of the unperturbed ground state hyperfine transition frequency of the $^{133}$Cs atom, speed of light in vacuum.…

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in tabletop experiments intended to exhibit the quantum nature of gravity by demonstrating that it can induce entanglement. We argue that these experiments also provide new information about…

The revised International System of Units (SI), expected to be approved late in 2018, has implications for physics pedagogy; the ampere definition which dates from 1948 will be replaced by a definition that fixes the numerical value of the…

Near a critical point, the equilibrium relaxation time of a system diverges and any change of control/thermodynamic parameters leads to non-equilibrium behavior. The Kibble-Zurek problem is to determine the dynamical evolution of the system…

We describe some new estimates concerning the recently proposed SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) experiment for measuring the gravitational interaction parameters in space. The experiment entails precision tracking of the relative motion of…

A low-cost measurement system using filtering of measurements for two-wheeled balancing robot stabilisation purposes has been addressed in this paper. In particular, a measurement system based on gyroscope, accelerometer, and encoder has…

Progress in the quantum readout and control of mechanical devices from single atoms to large masses may enable a first generation of experiments probing the gravitational interaction in the quantum regime, conceivably within the next…
