For resistance measurements, usually a small constant current is passed through the device under test and the digital multimeter reads the resultant voltage drop ; this eliminates the scale compression found in analog meters, but requires a source of significant current.

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.

Auto-ranging meters usually include a facility to hold the meter to a particular range, because a measurement that causes frequent range changes can be distracting to the user.

Hand-held meters use batteries while bench meters usually use mains power allowing the meter to test devices not connected to a circuit.

A plot may be any size, usually marked out in square meters.

BUDs are usually 6½ to 12 feet or two to 3. 5 meters in diameter, and have been a source of much consternation ( even local zoning disputes ) due to their perception as an eyesore.

These intrusions heat the surrounding coal in an anoxic atmosphere producing coke in a zone ( usually several meters ) around the intrusion.

It is usually notated in a linear value, such as how many feet ( meters ) in width will be seen at 1, 000 yards ( or 1, 000 m ), or in an angular value of how many degrees can be viewed.

Other forms of jazz use clear regular meters and strongly-pulsed rhythms, usually in 4 / 4 or ( less often ) 3 / 4.

New meters require smaller drops of blood, and the corresponding lancet poke in the fingers is smaller and less painful.

Some jurisdictions require a license when a certain size is exceeded ( e. g., a length of 20 meters ), others only require licenses to pilot passenger ships, ferries or tugboats.

A bubble macroscopically large enough to enclose a ship 200 meters across would require a total amount of exotic matter equal to 10 billion times the mass of the observable universe.

Types to measure AC current use the transformer principle ; clamp-on meters to measure small current or direct current require more complicated sensors.

Analog meters can measure voltage and current using power from the test circuit but require internal power for resistance testing, electronic meters always require an internal power supply.

would require a parabola with a diameter greater than 17 meters (= 342 m / s / 20 Hz ).

These require meters that measure the energy usage in time intervals ( such as a half hour ) to impose charges based on both the amount of energy consumed and the maximum rate of consumption, i. e. the maximum demand, which is measured in kVA.

Because distance between the two laser sheets does not change, optical flow meters do not require periodic calibration after their initial commissioning.

Optical flow meters require only one installation point, instead of the two installation points typically required by other types of meters.

One advantage is that they do not require direct contact with the ground, and can be used in conditions unfavorable to resistance meters.

The final 60 meters cover rocky terrain and require mountaineering skills.

Concretions vary in shape, hardness and size, ranging from objects that require a magnifying lens to be clearly visible to huge bodies three meters in diameter and weighing several thousand pounds.

As an example, many water meters are installed in locations that require the utility to schedule an appointment with the homeowner in order to obtain access to the meter.

The United States Navy's DDSs are 11. 6 meters ( 38 feet ) long by 2. 7 meters ( 9 feet ) high and wide, add about 30 tons to its host submarine's submerged displacement, can be transported by trucks or C-5 Galaxy aircraft, and require one to three days to install and test.

At 7 meters per second average wind speed, it would require 1 million 2-MW wind turbines, which would cost $ 3 trillion dollars, or about $ 3. 00 per GGE.

In February 2006, the Carinthian governor Jörg Haider made a great stir by personally moving the German sign for a few meters, hoping to create a new legal situation that would require a new decision of the Constitutional Court.

This requires a " smart grid ," which includes meters that measure electricity via communication networks that require remote control and give customers timing and pricing options.

Ultrasonic flow meters are more complex than meters that are purely mechanical, as they require significant signal processing and computation capabilities.

The diving depth record for off shore diving was achieved in 1988 by a team of professional divers of the Comex S. A. industrial deep-sea diving company performing pipe line connection exercises at a depth of 534 meters ( 1752 ft ) of sea water ( MSW ) in the Mediterranean Sea during a record scientific dive.

Additionally, ramp meters are present at nearly all entrance ramps onto I-285, with the exception of the southeast section of I-285 and the major freeway-to-freeway connection ramps.

This required a very high bandwidth connection to the computer, which generally meant the display could be no more than a dozen or so meters from the computer.

If inside, it may share a data connection with other meters.

The presents the first known description of a binary numeral system in connection with the systematic enumeration of meters with fixed patterns of short and long syllables.

On 26 April 2011 Tymoshenko sued businessman Dmytro Firtash and Swiss-based RosUkrEnergo in a US District Court in Manhattan accusing them of " defrauding Ukraine's citizenry by manipulating an arbitration court ruling, " undermining the rule of law in Ukraine " in connection with an 2010 international arbitration court ruling in Stockholm that ordered Ukraine's state energy company Naftogaz to pay RosUkrEnergo 11 billion cubic meters ( bcm ) of natural gas to compensate for fuel it had " expropriated " plus 1. 1 billion bcm as a penalty.
