In the paper, the design and implementation of a high-performance real-time power quality measuring instrument based on digital signal processor (DSP) is discussed. After the hardware and firmware instrument description, the paper continues with the presentation of power quality analyzer software design and then is completed with metrological characterization of the instrument prototype, in ter...

The authors suggest that atomic experiments measuring the interference between magnetic-dipole and electric-field-induced electric-dipole transition amplitudes provide a valuable system to study magnetoelectric Jones effects.

With the continuous development of science and progress reform fabric knitting technology, all kinds fabrics continue to appear. Linear density is one most important physical geometric characteristics knitted fabrics, which affects mechanical properties, feel style textiles, bases for design manufacturing process parameters.In this paper, a device method developed, not affected by width lines, ...

Objectives: An efficient, safe, affordable and easily accessible measuring instrument for quantitative assessment of bone prior to dental implant placement enables more accurate treatment planning. Costly imaging modalities are neither widely available, nor affordable for some patients. This study sought to assess the efficacy of a newly designed digital bone gauge for measurement of bone width...

Stress and coping in the families caring for their member with mental retardation has recently received worldwide research attention. There is no comprehensive instrument to study these issues in India. This study reports on development and standardization of a new instrument to fill this lacuna. Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mental Retardation (FISC - MR), a semi-structured intervi...

A health status instrument for use in clinical trials must be valid (measuring what it is supposed to measure) and responsive (able to detect clinically important change). Approaches to measuring health status in clinical trials include using a battery of instruments, a general instrument which provides a profile of the patient's health, an instrument that generates a health utility, or an inst...
