PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association, Vol. 1990, Volume One: Contributed Papers (1990), pp. 251-261 (11 pages) It has been suggested that we ought to ...

Smarter measurement supports more efficient, safer and more sustainable operations, extending service life and enhancing uptime, whatever the industry sector. Behind the scenes, it is also helping to ...

Measuring the electrical resistance (ohms) of motors, compressors, and other electrical devices in HVAC systems may seem straightforward. But when the measurements of zero (0) or “OL” (overload) come ...

More than 80 years after the uncertainty principle was first proposed, scientists are ironing out some uncertainties about the famous physics notion. The uncertainty principle, proposed in 1927 by ...

As a former telecommunications electrical engineer, I come from a profession where analytical analysis and measurements are a necessity when designing a new product. Working for one of the largest ...

WE cannot measure time in that sense in which we measure other things. Time has been very happily denned as the great independent variable of all change; and it is by watching matter in motion, which ...

Unlike their peers in the pharmaceutical industry, where less than half of operations measure overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), the vast majority of food processors do measure equipment ...

There is a range of grass-measuring equipment and software on the market, which means choosing the right one can be a minefield. Farmers Weekly looked at a range of measuring tools from plate meters ...

A study found that , 40% of the sphygmomanometers had baseline deviation, the mean deviation being in excess of 2.5 mmHg and this was more prevalent in outpatient departments and wards, where the wear ...

Navigating aircraft today isn’t like the old days. No more arrows painted on a barn roof or rotating airway beacons. Now, there are a host of radio navigation aids. GPS, of course, is available. But ...
