This is usually adopted on high pressure ranges such as hydraulics where atmospheric pressure changes will have a negligible effect on the accuracy of the reading, so venting is not necessary.

The accuracy of an analog instrument usually refers to full-scale deflection ; a measurement of 30V on the 100V scale of a 3 % meter is subject to an error of 3V, 10 % of the reading.

Digital meters usually specify accuracy as a percentage of reading plus a percentage of full-scale value, sometimes expressed in counts rather than percentage terms.

To check for its effect on accuracy and on external circuit operation the meter can be switched to different ranges ; the current reading should be the same and circuit operation should not be affected if burden voltage is not a problem.

Analog multimeters have the precision and reading accuracy limitations described above, and so are not built to provide the same accuracy as digital instruments.

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.

To check the accuracy of a simple carpenter's type level ( i. e. whether the level indicates that a truly horizontal surface is, in fact, level ), it is placed on a flat and approximately level surface, and the reading on the bubble tube is noted.

This reading indicates to what extent the surface is parallel to the horizontal plane, according to the level, which at this stage is of unknown accuracy.

Perelman found that he could, with perfect accuracy, determine the score of an essay without even reading the essay.

In most indicating instruments, the accuracy is guaranteed to a certain percentage of full-scale reading.

Some high-end mechanical balances also use dials ( with counterbalancing masses instead of springs ), a hybrid design with some of the accuracy advantages of the poise and beam but the convenience of a dial reading.

The vernier, dial, and digital calipers give a direct reading of the distance measured to high accuracy.

Ted Hughes, who later became friends with an elderly Williamson, repeatedly cited reading the book as an important experience for him, while the author Roger Deakin wrote that he admired the " beauty and ice-clear accuracy " of Williamson's writing and described Tarka as a " great mythic poem ".

The DIBELS comprise a developmental sequence of one-minute measures: recognizing initial sounds ( phonemic awareness ), naming the letters of the alphabet ( alphabetic principle ), segmenting words into phonemes ( phonemic awareness ), reading nonsense words ( alphabetic principle ), oral reading of a passage ( accuracy and fluency ), retelling ( comprehension ), and word use ( vocabulary ).

Both Bliss and Geldard were reporting similar reading rates, but in the days before high accuracy optical character recognition, the Optacon approach was much more practical.

What Krim ignores, in his contempt for history and for accuracy, is that these magazines, Partisan foremost, brought about a genuine revolution in the American mind from the mid-thirties to approximately 1950.

It is sufficiently small compared with the surface temperature of the anode holder, to make the energy flux radiated from the environment toward the anode holder negligible within the accuracy of the present measurements.

Neither G nor M < sub >☉</ sub > can be measured to high accuracy in SI units, but the value of their product is known very precisely from observing the relative positions of planets ( Kepler's Third Law expressed in terms of Newtonian gravitation ).

If the fletching is not arranged to induce rotation, it will still improve accuracy by causing a restoring drag any time the arrow tilts away from its intended direction of travel.

Competitive archery involves shooting arrows at a target for accuracy from a set distance or distances.

In 1994, the biopic Ed Wood, directed by Tim Burton, alleged that Wood and the filmmakers stole the mechanical octopus ( previously used in the film Wake of the Red Witch ) from the Republic Studios backlot, while failing to steal the motor which enabled the prop to move realistically, although, by the director's admission, the film preferred narrative interest over historical accuracy.

As a general rule of thumb, if the condition number, then you may lose up to digits of accuracy on top of what would be lost to the numerical method due to loss of precision from arithmetic methods.

* Recoil hack removes any recoil ( and thus improves accuracy ) from a player's weapon.

Astronomers produce new fundamental ephemerides as the accuracy of observation improves and as the understanding of the dynamics increases, and from these ephemerides various astronomical values, including the obliquity, are derived.

Class-A amplifiers are often used in output stages of high quality op-amps ( although the accuracy of the bias in low cost op-amps such as the 741 may result in class A or class AB or class B, varying from device to device or with temperature ).

Reasons for the use of lunar measurements were practically based: the Moon moves against the background of stars about 13 times as fast as the Sun's corresponding rate of motion, and the accuracy of time determinations from lunar measurements is correspondingly greater.

Here alone is preserved a summary of the writings of the Phoenician priest Sanchuniathon of which the accuracy has been shown by the mythological accounts found on the Ugaritic tables, here alone is the account from Diodorus Siculus's sixth book of Euhemerus ' wondrous voyage to the island of Panchaea where Euhemerus purports to have found his true history of the gods, and here almost alone is preserved writings of the neo-Platonist philosopher Atticus along with so much else.

The increasing amount of satellite data and the development of more sophisticated ways of extraction information from that data have made a major contribution to improving the accuracy and utility of NWP forecasts.

This Wöhler Myth, as historian of science Peter J. Ramberg called it, originated from a popular history of chemistry published in 1931, which, " ignoring all pretense of historical accuracy, turned Wöhler into a crusader who made attempt after attempt to synthesize a natural product that would refute vitalism and lift the veil of ignorance, until ' one afternoon the miracle happened '".

* Kesten Green's Conflict Forecasting-See Papers for evidence on the accuracy of forecasts from game theory and other methods.

The significant recoil of the M14 when fired in full-automatic mode was seen as a problem as it reduced accuracy, and in the 1960s it was replaced by Eugene Stoner's AR-15, which also marked a switch from the powerful. 30 caliber cartridges used by the U. S. military up until early in the Vietnam War to the much less powerful but far lighter and light recoiling. 223 caliber ( 5. 56mm ) intermediate cartridge.

Geocaching was conceived shortly after the removal of Selective Availability from GPS on May 2, 2000, because the improved accuracy of the system allowed for a small container to be specifically placed and located.

Buying bullets from a high quality source will help ensure quality, but for ultimate accuracy some shooters will measure even the best bullets, and reject all but the most consistent.

Of course, when a simple function is used to estimate data points from the original, interpolation errors are usually present ; however, depending on the problem domain and the interpolation method used, the gain in simplicity may be of greater value than the resultant loss in accuracy.

The political geography of Ireland can be traced with some accuracy from the 6th century.

He depicted, however, Roman life with such accuracy that he is classed with Menander, from whom indeed he borrowed largely.

As a factual criticism, Benitez-Bribiesca points to the lack of a " code script " for memes ( analogous to the DNA of genes ), and to the excessive instability of the meme mutation mechanism ( that of an idea going from one brain to another ), which would lead to a low replication accuracy and a high mutation rate, rendering the evolutionary process chaotic.
