J. title: Impact of modern instrumentation on the system of basic concepts in metrology date: 2014-05-07 words: 5512 flesch: 39 summary: Much less attention has been paid to other operations: sensing of the signal from the measured object (in most cases the concept of measurement signal was not utilized or the signal was treated as the same as the measured quantity itself), conversion (in most cases aimed on signal conditioning) and display of measurement result. The “inputs” of a measuring instrument (or a system) are measurement signals generated by the measured object or exciting the object. keywords: abstract; acta; basic; basic concepts; cases; categories; classical; comparison; concepts; contemporary; e.g.; errors; identification; imeko; importance; information; instrumentation; instruments; mathematical; mathematical model; means; measurands; measured; measurement; measuring; methods; metrology; model; modelling; modern; necessary; new; numbers; object; ones; operations; parameters; physical; process; properties; quantities; quantity; real; relations; sense; set; signal; structure; system; value cache: actaimeko-194.pdf plain text: actaimeko-194.txt item: #327 of 841 id: actaimeko-195 author: Kohoutek, H.

This would include (i) analysis of the meaning of measurement statements using the Fregean concepts of sense and reference (which in the context of measurement might be called “operational” and “factual” meaning), (ii) taking into account recent philosophical discussions concerning the question whether there are statements which are a priori and contingent or statements which are a posteriori and necessary (as this may shed light on the distinction between what is fact and what is convention in measurement) and (iii) an analysis of the different sorts of identity or equivalence that are presupposed in measurement statements. keywords: acta; case; certain; concept; different; dimensional; distance; empirical; example; following; grindability; imeko; instruments; invariance; law; laws; length; mass; meaning; meaningful; meaningfulness; measurement; numbers; numerical; object; particular; possible; poverty; prekik; properties; question; references; scale; size; standard; statement; theory; time; validity; value; viscosity; volume; way cache: actaimeko-198.pdf plain text: actaimeko-198.txt item: #331 of 841 id: actaimeko-20 author: Kyriazis, Gregory A; Moreno, J Angel; Melcher, Jürgen title: A Two-Stage, Guarded Inductive Voltage Divider with Small Ratio Errors for Coaxial Bridge Applications date: 2012-07-10 words: 7631 flesch: 64 summary: The main IVD to be used in coaxial ratio bridges As mentioned in the introduction, the main IVD to be used in coaxial ratio bridges should be constructed to provide an overall bridge uncertainty at 1:1 and 10:1 ratios of a few parts in 108. keywords: 100; 1:1; acta; associated; balance; bipm; box; bridge; c c; cable; calibration; capacitance; capacitance bridge; capacitor; coaxial; conductor; construction; contributions; core; current; design; divider; error; figure; imeko; inmetro; isolation; ivd; july; khz; magnetizing; main; n n; new; number; outer; phase; ratio; ratio bridge; relative; scheme; stage; standard; taps; terminal; transformer; u c; uncertainty; value; voltage; volume; winding; www.imeko.org;  ;   cache: actaimeko-20.pdf plain text: actaimeko-20.txt item: #332 of 841 id: actaimeko-200 author: Carbone, Paolo title: Journal contacts date: 2014-05-07 words: 284 flesch: 39 summary: The ISSN, the international identifier for serials, is 2221-870X.

CONCLUSIONS  The probes presented in this paper proved that AMR and GMR sensors as detectors seem to be good alternatives to conventional remote field eddy current probes that use coils as detectors. keywords: acta; amplitude; amr; coil; current; defect; detection; detector; difference; eddy; eddy current; excitation; excitation current; experimental; field; figure; gmr; imeko; inner; inspection; june; longitudinal; magnetic; magnetic field; output; perturbation; phase; position; probe; ramos; remote; results; ribeiro; sensitivity; sensor; signal; sinusoidal; stainless; steel; testing; tube; vol; wall; zone cache: actaimeko-234.pdf plain text: actaimeko-234.txt item: #353 of 841 id: actaimeko-235 author: Carbone, Paolo title: Journal contacts date: 2014-12-01 words: 300 flesch: 29 summary: The ISSN, the international identifier for serials, is 2221-870X.

Yet, obviously it can be extended to different applications, considering also that we have already carried out a wide research on the use of combined data from Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 on other different fields ([5], [6]), by achieving very interesting results that now can be also improved with the availability of Sentinel-2 data. keywords: acquisition; acta; analysis; application; area; available; band; better; blue; bright; brown; caserta; characteristics; chlorophyll; classification; colour; combination; comparison; ctest1; dark; data; decomposition; deep; details; different; edge; esa; figure; geometry; green; healthy; high; image; imeko; index; indexes; information; infrared; interest; landsat-8; left; light; meters; mission; mode; monitoring; multispectral; ndvi; near; new; number; optical; palace; parks; polarization; possible; present; radar; red; remote; resolution; results; rgb; royal; sar; satellite; sensing; sentinel-2; sentinel-2 data; september; signal; snap; software; soil; spectral; statistics; status; study; type; urban; useful; vegetation; vertical; volume; wide; wishart cache: actaimeko-352.pdf plain text: actaimeko-352.txt item: #426 of 841 id: actaimeko-353 author: Desachy, Bruno title: From observed successions to quantified time: formalizing the basic steps of chronological reasoning date: 2016-09-01 words: 8472 flesch: 48 summary: [25] as an agglomerative model, after the ordinal model of stratigraphic units ordering. from stratigraphic units, adding (explicitly or more often implicitly) use durations to formation durations, even if, as in the examples above, there are just construction units with no preserved material tracks (and so recordable as stratigraphic units) of their “occupation” (i.e. their use timespans). keywords: absolute; account; acta; archaeological; archaeologists; archaeology; basic; beginning; case; certain; chronological; chronology; computerized; construction; context; data; date; dating; des; duration; earliest; end; entities; entity; estimated; example; field; figure; formation; frame; functional; grouping; harris; historical; imeko; inaccuracy; indications; inequations; instance; intervals; isbn; known; latest; level; limits; material; matrix; number; observed; order; possible; processing; quantified; reasoning; related; relationships; relative; section; september; set; simple; site; stratigraphic; stratigraphic units; synchronism; system; systemic; taq; time; tpq; uncertain; unit; use; value; volume; way cache: actaimeko-353.pdf plain text: actaimeko-353.txt item: #427 of 841 id: actaimeko-356 author: Rosenberger, Maik; Zhang, Chen; Votyakov, Pavel; Preißler, Marc; Celestre, Rafael; Notni, Gunther title: EMVA 1288 Camera characterisation and the influences of radiometric camera characteristics on geometric measurements date: 2016-12-30 words: 4776 flesch: 50 summary: Furthermore, there is a need for understanding the impact of image sensor parameters on image processing procedures.

As a compromise between the pure metrology of not changing instruments without additional calibration and the minimisation of the risk of contamination, and the request of low prices and stable and consistent calibration results, the policy generally applied for weight calibrations is as follows (and this policy is made known to the customer): • Weights will be cleaned generally to protect the laboratory and un-involved parties’ artefacts. keywords: acta; calibration; cleaning; contamination; customer; december; figure; http://www.imeko.org/; imeko; information; instruments; interval; laboratory; mass; metrological; number; order; pieces; procedure; results; section; significant; stable; state; traceability; uncertainty; values; volume; weights cache: actaimeko-929.pdf plain text: actaimeko-929.txt item: #770 of 841 id: actaimeko-930 author: Mecke, M.; Borys, M.; Beyer, E. title: Investigation of the repeatability of a cleaning method for silicon spheres by gravimetric measurements date: 2020-12-31 words: 2814 flesch: 54 summary: Keywords: New SI; kilogram; silicon spheres; cleaning method; repeatability; mass stability 1.
