The uncertainty principle actually describes how precisely we may measure the position and momentum of a particle at the same time — if we increase the accuracy in measuring one quantity, we are forced to lose accuracy in measuring the other.

Popular in the middle part of the 20th century, tape surveys while being accurate for distance lack substantially in their accuracy of measuring angle and bearing.

Since these minor discrepancies can be adequately explained by slight changes in the tracks of roads during the last 2300 years, the overall accuracy of the measurements implies that the bematists already must have used a sophisticated device for measuring distances, although there is no direct mentioning of such a device.

Prior to Kater's discovery, the accuracy of g measurements was limited by the difficulty of measuring the other factor L, the length of the pendulum, accurately.

For instance, the Fizeau – Foucault apparatus could measure the speed of light to perhaps 5 % accuracy, which was totally inadequate for measuring the direct, first order 0. 01 % change in the speed of light.

To reject the effect of ambient temperature changes, the active ( measuring ) element is in a bridge circuit with an identical element not exposed to microwaves ; variations in temperature common to both elements do not affect the accuracy of the reading.

Hence, once the distance to the SMC was known with greater accuracy, Cepheid variables could be used as a standard candle for measuring the distances to other galaxies.

Today the value of N < sub > A </ sub > can be measured at very high accuracy by taking an extremely pure crystal ( in practice, often silicon ), measuring how far apart the atoms are spaced using X-ray diffraction or another method, and accurately measuring the density of the crystal.

Halliburton invented the revolutionary cement jet mixer, to eliminate hand-mixing of cement, and the measuring line, a tool used to guarantee cementing accuracy.

Response strength is assessed by measuring the frequency, duration, latency, accuracy, and / or persistence of the response after reinforcement stops.

* The use of designed experimental tasks, often controlled by computer and typically measuring reaction time and accuracy on a particular tasks thought to be related to a specific neurocognitive process.

Inaccuracy of a measuring device does not affect the number of significant figures in a measurement made using that device, although it does affect the accuracy.

The total number of people killed in East Pakistan is not known with any degree of accuracy.

One study based on recognition of 19th-and early 20th-century newspaper pages concluded that character-by-character OCR accuracy for commercial OCR software varied from 71 % to 98 %; total accuracy can be achieved only by human review.

Instruments that indicate total polar compounds, currently the best single gauge of how deep-fried an object is, are available with sufficient accuracy for restaurant and industry use.

The Bible is held to be true in passages relating to human salvation, but " We should not expect total accuracy from the Bible in other, secular matters.

The size of the force assembled by Balliol and Beaumont cannot be established with any real accuracy, but the sources all agree that it was fairly modest: the Bridlington Chronicle suggests a figure of 500 men-at-arms and 1000 foot ; Henry Knighton, prone on occasions to wild exaggeration, puts forward a figure of 300 men-at-arms and 3000 foot ; while the Lanercost Chronicle, probably the most reliable, suggests a total force in the region of 1500 to 2800.

DXA scans can also be used to measure total body composition and fat content with a high degree of accuracy comparable to hydrostatic weighing with a few important caveats.

The accuracy of such a prediction is sufficient in many practical cases, especially when the total correction is less than 3 diopters.

Methods of relocating the precise area of study vary widely in accuracy, and include measurement from nearby permanent markers, use of total station theodolites, consumer-grade GPS, and differential GPS.

A typical total station can measure distances with an accuracy of about + 2 parts per million over a distance of up to.

However, others have argued that total immersion enhances accuracy.

However, the nature of disassembly precludes total accuracy, and a great deal of human intervention is necessarily required ; IDA has interactive functionality to aid in improving the disassembly.

An inclinometer sensor's true or absolute accuracy ( which is the combined total error ), however, is a combination of initial sets of sensor zero offset and sensitivity, sensor linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, and the temperature drifts of zero and sensitivity-electronic inclinometers accuracy can typically range from. 01º to ± 2º depending on the sensor and situation.

While live interpretation's goal is to achieve total accuracy at all times, details of the original ( source ) speech can be missed and interpreters can ask for clarification from the speaker.

This record has come under scrutiny when it was admitted by the scorekeeper for the Grizzlies that he intentionally inflated Van Exel's assist total due to the scorekeeper's displeasure with the NBA's scorekeeping system and wanted to prove its lack of accuracy.

* Add further distilled or deionized water, in a measuring cylinder to ensure accuracy, to make a total of 1 liter.

To start the game, each player creates a character by allocating a total of seven points to three attributes: health, speed and accuracy.

* Class of accuracy in electrical measurements

* Class of accuracy in electrical measurements

The accuracy of the assumption that flow is proportional to the gradient is more readily tested, using modern measurement methods, for the electrical case than for the heat case.

Cavendish was distinguished for great accuracy and precision in researches into the composition of atmospheric air, the properties of different gases, the synthesis of water, the law governing electrical attraction and repulsion, a mechanical theory of heat, and calculations of the density ( and hence the weight ) of the Earth.

With the outbreak of World War I, he shifted his work towards more applied topics, studying the accuracy of artillery fire ; after the war, he continued in an applied direction, applying results from this work to problems in electrical circuits and acoustics.

The electrical diagram of the EEG provides split-second timing while the MRI provides high levels of spatial accuracy.

Digital cameras use charge-coupled devices whose extreme sensitivity to light allows them to convert incoming photons into varying electrical charges with great accuracy.
