Measurement Specialties is engaged in the design, development and manufacture of sensors and sensor-based systems for original equipment manufacturers and end users, based on a...
The measurements presented in this paper are just an introduction to the possibilities of LabVIEW in audio measurements. Hardware and software integrate to complete the whole measurement process ? Acquire data, analyze and present. The power and flexibility of LabVIEW can be used to expand the system to generate multiple...
CANDU nuclear reactors contain fuel-filled pressure tubes mounted within calandria tubes, which are normally separated by a gas-filled gap. The project objective was to develop an improved inspection technology based on Ultrasonic Testing UT. The unique system configuration, with the UT transducer immersed in a water-filled pressure tube and the...
This article describes Brimrose AOTF-NIR Spectrometer, which is an excellent tool for the measurement of properties in food and dairy products. The AOTF technology enables the Brimrose spectrometer to scan very fast and without using moving parts. This makes it the ideal tool for real-time, on-line industrial process control. The...
For monitoring voltage flicker at large industrial customers' facilities, the client currently employs the gauge-point assessment method based on the British ERA meter. Kinectrics' main objective for this project was to compare the two methods of flicker measurement and assess the impacts and implications for this client of adopting the...
At the risk of flying in the face of received wisdom and all this industry research, this is an appropriate moment to show you some of our thinking about how Human Capital measurement can be done. As the research indicates, the problems facing those charged with Human Capital management are...
The practice of measurement has been experiencing a well-deserved elevation in priority in last few years. Demand is high across a wide range of industries for more complex software and software-intensive products that capitalize on rapidly advancing technologies. Delivering these products requires new management control and monitoring to ensure that...
The foundational key to value-based billing is the ability to measure a client's current performance (i.e. pre-engagement). The next step is to establish measurement of economic and performance gains brought by the engagement. This much should be done for every engagement, whether or not the fee model is value-based. Measurement...
Should exchanges or barter (non-monetary exchanges, that is no cash or cash equivalents are exchanged) transactions of products or services be recorded as revenues and expenses? The basic issue is whether the earnings process has been completed. Measurement is the next issue: Should revenue and expense be recognized at the...
If HR wishes to have strategic 'Clout' then it has to 'Do measurement' and 'Do measurement' well. If it doesn't, it won't. Here's why. People are simultaneously assets, resources and potential liabilities. HR is a corporate function with two main objectives: optimising people performance and minimising operating risk. This is...
This white paper focuses on measurement on initial recognition of assets and liabilities. It represents the first stage of a project to address the measurement objective for assets and liabilities that are recognized in financial statements. The project is intended to provide the International Accounting Standards Board IASB and national...
Risk measurement provides fundamental support to decision making within the insurance industry. In spite of this, the limitations of the common measures are not well appreciated and there is little non-specialist awareness of the more powerful techniques. However, it is fragmented and is not always in a form that is...
This white paper deals with the robust motion estimation from image measurements which would be an enabling technology for Mars rover, micro air vehicle, and search and rescue robot navigation; modeling complex environments from video; and other applications. This paper work develops both batch and recursive algorithms for estimating camera...
This article basically analyses features of aluminum, which are important for the non- contact measurement of the temperature. This study is based on the results of experiments, which were carried out at foreign research institutes. Rising interest of the industry in contact less measurement of foamy aluminum profiles during their...
This paper presents wind tunnel experiments of helicopter rotor-fuselage interactions. Several test campaigns have been conducted in the ONERA F1 subsonic wind tunnel on a Dauphin 365N model equipped with a powered main rotor. Numerous measurements have been performed during these tests: time-averaged and time-dependent fuselage pressure measurements, 6-components balance...
The destructive force of ultrasonic shock waves has always created a special challenge in lithotripter developments. In the same way the shock waves disintegrate kidney stones in the human body, they destroy the hydrophones utilized for shock wave field measurements. Based on the fundamental idea of applying the variation of...
While measuring knowledge worker productivity and how it contributes to an organization's overall effectiveness is difficult, it is not impossible. The rewards of doing so are twofold. Measurement allows for management, which can help an organization guide and direct its valuable human capital toward the goals it has identified. In...
Measurement provides an insight into the dynamics of a process and, therefore, facilitates the management of the same. It is important to measure and evaluate organizational performance for effectively managing its strategy. The Balanced Scorecard BS is a comprehensive framework that translates the organizational vision and strategy into a coherent...
One of the topics of marketing research which students sometimes seem to have difficulty understanding is levels of measurement. This may be due to the coverage of the topic in another class usually statistics or simply due to the fact that it is a numeric concept and students often "tune...
Root canal impedance measurement was carried out in vivo on a series of patients and in vitro on a model tooth dipped into a saline solution. Impedance was measured for several file tip displacements from apical foramen in the high frequency range. Comparison between in vivo and in vitro results...
