These include ( but are not limited to ) Beam Position Monitors ( BPMs ) to measure the position of the bunch, screens ( fluorescent screens, Optical Transition Radiation ( OTR ) devices ) to image the profile of the bunch, wire-scanners to measure its cross-section, and toroids or ICTs to measure the bunch charge ( i. e. the number of particles per bunch ).

* Position Fix, a position derived from measuring external reference points

As GPS technology became more widely available, ' Position ' was replaced with ' Packet ' to better describe the more generic capabilities of the system and to emphasize its uses beyond mere position reporting.

Position fixing is the branch of navigation concerned with the use of a variety of visual and electronic methods to determine the position of a ship, aircraft or person on the surface of the Earth.

* Position lines and position circles

It is also one of the 48 groups and entities to which European Union's Common Position 2001 / 931 / CFSP on the application of specific measures to combat terrorism applies.

It also appears as one of the 44 names in the current U. S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, 48 groups and entities to which European Union's Common Position 2001 / 931 / CFSP on the application of specific measures to combat terrorism applies and 45 international terrorist organisations in the list of Proscribed Terrorist Groups of the UK Home Office.

Position light signals

Position markers are sometimes made luminescent ( through using paint or replacement with light emitting diodes ) to make them more visible on stage.

PRR North American railroad signals # Position light | position light signal

Meanwhile, Amtrak uses a modified version of the PRR position light signals called " Position Color Lights.

Position of Hollandic ( colour: light yellow ) among the other minority languages, regional languages and dialects in the Benelux

In that apparently simple shift Porter opened the way to the sensitive use of the camera as an instrument of art as well as a mechanical recording device.

Compared to voice, Morse code is less sensitive to poor signal conditions, yet still comprehensible to humans without a decoding device.

* A light pen is a device similar to a touch screen, but uses a special light sensitive pen instead of the finger, which allows for more accurate screen input.

It can, for example, make a sensitive air-flow device employed in a sailplane rate-of-climb instrument, the electronic variometer, or serve as a timer for a relay as was formerly done in telephone exchanges.

In 1890, Édouard Branly demonstrated what he later called the " radio-conductor ," which Lodge in 1893 named the coherer, the first sensitive device for detecting radio waves.

He used them to create the " radiomicrometer ", a device sensitive enough to detect the heat of a single candle from a distance of almost 2 miles.

Photodiodes are similar to regular semiconductor diodes except that they may be either exposed ( to detect vacuum UV or X-rays ) or packaged with a window or optical fiber connection to allow light to reach the sensitive part of the device.

A SQUID ( for superconducting quantum interference device ) is a very sensitive magnetometer used to measure extremely subtle magnetic fields, based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions.

A 1998 patent describes a device that can scare off birds from wind turbines, aircraft, and other sensitive installations by way of microwave energy pulses.

UV-visible spectroscopy of microscopic samples is done by integrating an optical microscope with UV-visible optics, white light sources, a monochromator, and a sensitive detector such as a charge-coupled device ( CCD ) or photomultiplier tube ( PMT ).

This device was much more sensitive than both the capillary electrometer Waller used and the string galvanometer that had been invented separately in 1897 by the French engineer Clément Ader.

Touch screens like those found on some tablet computers and the Nintendo DS are operated in similar ways, but they usually use either optical grids or a pressure sensitive film instead, and therefore they do not need a special pointing device.

Even though macroscopic processes are deterministic under Newtonian mechanics, the output of a well-designed device like a roulette wheel cannot be predicted in practice, because it depends on the sensitive, micro-details of the initial conditions of each use.

An application typically describes sound output by combining all of the aforementioned specifications together in a device string, which has one of the following forms ( which are case sensitive ):

While photomultipliers are extraordinarily sensitive and moderately efficient, research was still underway to create a photon-counting light detection device that is much more than 99 % efficient.
