Micro- and nanoplastics are now popping up everywhere: in seawater, snow, food and even in our bodies. The very smallest ...

In this paper, a structured light vision measurement method using a scanning laser line and a positioning laser line is proposed. The novel method enables the scanning laser plane to slide along a ...

This paper proposes a method for fast and accurate vehicle speed measurement based on a monocular camera. Firstly, by establishing a new camera imaging model, the calibration method for variable focal ...

Differences across blood pressure (BP) measurement methods show clinically important variance in readings, according to a review published online in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Jiunn-Tyng Yeh, ...

Quasars are extraordinarily distant celestial objects that throw off a massive amount of light, and astrophysicists use them to probe cosmological theories. In some cases, astrophysicists have used ...

This paper defines a method to measure the chip die pad capacitance using time delay reflectometry (TDR). This method is useful for measuring the low-value capacitance that is present at the end of a ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it is used to measure “how much” current is flowing in a circuit, which may be used to make decisions about turning off ...

Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...

Iridium-based catalysts are widely used in green energy technologies, but existing methods to measure active sites on iridium catalysts are imprecise. New research from Northwestern Engineering’s ...

When looking at organisations today, market research and marketing analytics now absorb around 13-16% of marketing operations budgets. However, evidence from Gartner’s Marketing Data and Analytics ...
