Traditional meter gates for farm delivery flow measurement from an open channel conveyance have traditionally incorporated round canal gates (Armco type) for control. In recent years, some irrigation water agencies (i.e., irrigation districts) have replaced deteriorating round gates with lower-cost rectangular gates that cover round holes. Similar to the situation described in a companion paper...

A new instrument, Eyetone, has been produced for use with a Dextrostix reagent strip for estimating blood sugar levels. It differs from the Dextrostix Reflectance Meter in having only one meter scale, a two-point calibration, and a range of measurement limited to 10-400 mg/100 ml. Results with the manufacturers' original calibration were unsatisfactory, but when recalibrated the performance of ...

BACKGROUND Manual measurement of 4-meter gait speed by a stopwatch is the gold standard test for functional assessment in older adults. However, the accuracy of this technique may be biased by several factors, including intra- and inter-operator variability. Instrumental techniques of measurement using accelerometers may have a higher accuracy. Studies addressing the concordance between these t...

Efficient energy consumption is essential for the development of a smart grid in power system. As response, reliable monitoring and management usage main priority grid. The existing meter system has host concerns, one which lack full-duplex transmission. To solve this problem, paper, we present novel architecture cloud-connected Smart Energy Meter. proposed capable real-time measurement network...

The technical guideline TR-03109 divides between the roles of the SMGW technician and the Gateway administrator whereas the Gateway administrator gains full access to the SMGW and the service technician has only very limited access rights. In many scenarios the service technician will also need full access to the Smart Meter Gateway which means that he must be able to change its role. Federated...

Cough is often used as an outcome measure, although the reporting of cough is unreliable. Using a 24 h ambulatory cough meter to measure cough frequency, the aim of this study was to compare: 1) the correlation of child-completed diary cards to the objective measurement, with that of parent-completed diary cards; and 2) the visual analogue scale (VAS) to the verbal category descriptive (VCD) sc...

A flare is a combustion device that uses air or steam to burn associated, unwanted or excess gases and liquids released during production or by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment in many industrial operations, such as oil-gas extraction, refineries, chemical plants, coal industry and landfills. Several environmental problems caused by gas flaring such as ...

The whiteness of cooked rice and rice cakes was evaluated using a portable spectrophotometer with a whiteness index (WI). Also, by using boiled rice for measurement of Mido values by Mido Meter, it was possible to infer the whiteness of cooked rice without rice cooking. In the analysis of varietal differences of cooked rice, 'Tsuyahime', 'Koshihikari' and 'Koshinokaori' showed high whiteness, w...
