This paper represents a three-phase precision measurement system for the electronic electricity meter based on a digital signal processor (DSP) in combination with a multichannel analog-to-digital converter. The measurement system capabilities include all the usual assessments of the energy, power, voltage and current, but functionality of this precision measurement system is extended into the ...

We describe a new method to measure current near the substratum. A variety of current meters are available to record flow data relevant to benthic organisms in their natural habitat. Several factors, including accuracy and precision, sample volume, sample rate, deployment constraints, and cost make them more or less appropriate to different applications. Our method, based on tracking particles ...

in islamic civilization, rhetoric is the product of a great attempt to find out the secrets of quranic language; nevertheless, the achievements of such studies have been mechanically applied to persian which, compared to arabic, has a different linguistic system and literary conventions. this approach has brought about problems in defining literary terms, internal rhythm being one of them. this...

This paper introduces a new direct method for measuring water and contaminant fluxes in porous media. The method uses a passive flux meter (PFM), which is essentially a self-contained permeable unit properly sized to fit tightly in a screened well or boring. The meter is designed to accommodate a mixed medium of hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic permeable sorbents, which retain dissolved organic/i...

Acoustic Scintillation was one of the three intake flow measurement methods tested in the comparisons carried out in Unit #1 at BC Hydro’s Kootenay Canal power plant in October, 2009, sponsored by CEATI (the Centre for Energy Advancement through Technological Innovation) and supervised by the PTC-18 Committee of the ASME. The comparison was run as a blind test; none of the test participants had...
