Optical frequency standards offer a step improvement of one to two orders of magnitude in the future ability to realise the SI second [1].
As components increase their rate of data processing the Printed Circuit Board is expected to transfer data at ever faster rates to keep pace.
Wireless Sensor Networks are increasingly being employed for monitoring and sensing in harsh environments such as factories and offshore platforms.
Thermodynamic temperature for the equilibrium melting transition for the pure systems under perfect conditions
Light microscopes have a resolution limit of around 250 nanometres (nm), which means anything smaller will appear blurred.
In order to effectively test a Power Quality Analyser for compliance to the IEC/EN 61000 standards, one needs to replicate the power conditions that are onsite.
Existing contaminant removal systems in the food processing industry FPI) are of low efficiency, carry substantial capital and operating costs (due to lost energy), and require frequent replacement of extraction system filters.
Finite element simulation is a well established technique for simulating melting and freezing behaviour of metals.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), situated in London near Heathrow Airport, is the UK's national standards laboratory for many different types of measurement, including those associated with radiation protection.
The majority of the United Kingdoms radioactive waste, approximately 95%, originates from the nuclear power industry (Defra, 2004).
The ability to accurately measure temperature above 1000 °C is critical to maintaining tight process control in many environments e.g. steel, glass,space, aerospace and semiconductor industries.
