Industrial-grade platinum resistance thermometers (IPRTs) are calibrated at NIST using a newly automated calibration system. The computer-controlled data-acquisition system is used to calibrate IPRTs over the range from –196 °C to 550 °C using fixed-points (ice point, triple-point of water, and Ga melting point) and comparison baths (cryogenic, water, oil, and salt). A standard platinum resista...

A common task in image editing is to change the colours of a picture to match the desired colour grade of another picture. Finding the correct colour mapping is tricky because it involves numerous interrelated operations, like balancing the colours, mixing the colour channels or adjusting the contrast. Recently, a number of automated tools have been proposed to find an adequate one-to-one colou...

This paper presents a simple load balancing algorithm and its probabilistic analysis. Unlike most of the previous load balancing algorithms, this algorithm maintains locality. We show that the cost of this load balancing algorithm is small for practical situations and discuss some interesting applications for data remapping. Index Terms Data locality, irregularity, load balancing, mapping, prob...

Coupled human balancing tasks are investigated on the basis of both pseudo-neural controllers characterized by time-delayed feedback with random gain and natural human balancing tasks. It is numerically shown that in comparison to single balancing tasks, balancing tasks coupled by mechanical structures increase the stability of balancing errors in terms of both amplitude and velocity and also i...

Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. Such mapping for data distribution has an inherent load balance problem. Thus, a load balancing mechanism is an indispensable part of a structured P2P overlay network for high performance. The rapid development of P2P systems has posed challeng...

BACKGROUND Static balancing assessment is often complemented with dynamic balancing tasks. Numerous dynamic balancing assessment methods have been developed in recent decades with their corresponding balancing devices and tasks. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic literature review is to identify and categorize existing objective methods of standing dynamic balancing ability assessment with ...

A positive integer n is called a balancing number if 1 + 2 + · · · + (n − 1) = (n + 1) + (n + 2) + · · · + (n + r) for some positive integer r. Several authors investigated balancing numbers and their various generalizations. The goal of this paper is to survey some interesting properties and results on balancing, cobalancing and all types of generalized balancing numbers.
