Recent innovations and technological advances have significantly enhanced the performance and utility of digital resistance thermometry readouts. The readout is an important component of a temperature calibration system, especially when used with a standard platinum resistance thermometer, since the readout contributes to the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of the system. Accurate digital...

This paper presents improvements to the plane-based technique for calibrating freehand3D ultrasound systems. The improvements are designed to make it easier for inexperiencedusers to perform plane-based calibration and to know that they have got a reliable result.In particular, we enable the calibration to be performed using water at room temperaturewhile producing a result ...

Detailed calibrations of the Madison Symmetric Torus polychromator Thomson scattering system have been made suitable for electron temperature fluctuation measurements. All calibrations have taken place focusing on accuracy, ease of use and repeatability, and in situ measurements wherever possible. Novel calibration processes have been made possible with an insertable integrating sphere (ISIS), ...

Standard methods in computer model calibration treat the calibration parameters as constant throughout the domain of control inputs. In many applications, systematic variation may cause the best values for the calibration parameters to change across different settings. When not accounted for in the code, this variation can make the computer model inadequate. We propose a framework for modeling ...

The primary science instrument of the CloudSat Mission is the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR). The CPR is a W-band (94 GHz) nadir looking radar (e.g. Tanelli, 2008) with the purpose of measuring backscattered power from hydrometeors (clouds and precipitation). Although the CPR contains an internal calibration system, external calibration using geophysical sources with known normalized radar cross-s...

A broadband microwave spectrometer has been constructed to determine the complex conductivity of thin metal films at frequencies from 45 MHz to 20 GHz working in the temperature range from 0.45 K to 2 K (in a (3)He cryostat). The setup follows the Corbino approach: a vector network analyzer measures the complex reflection coefficient of a microwave signal hitting the sample as termination of a ...

While planning medical care, health care workers must consider the body temperature changes as measured by the mothers on most occasions. We evaluated the reliability of three different temperature measurement methods when they were used by the mothers by comparing with the measurements taken by the pediatrician. In this prospective study, body temperatures of 50 healthy newborns during their 2...
