SynopsisMotor starters are one of the major inventions for motor control applications. As the name suggests, a starter is an electrical device which controls the electrical power for starting a motor. These electrical devices are also used for the purpose of stopping,.....
SynopsisThere are two types of machine drill, the bench drill and the pillar drill. The bench drill is used for drilling holes through materials including a range of woods, plastics and metals. It is normally bolted to a bench so that it cannot be pushed over and that.....
SynopsisThe cigarette lighter is a part of all cars, which is used to facilitate the ignition source of the car owner when he smokes. A cigarette lighter is a thing used to light cigarettes. But the cigarette lighter we often talk about is divided into the kind that t.....
SynopsisA Distribution Transformer Monitor (DTM) is a specialized hardware device that collects and measures information relative to electricity passing into and through a distribution transformer. Standard positioning of DTM devices occurs at the transformer b.....
SynopsisThe electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) is a modern electronic dosimeter for estimating uptake of ionising radiation dose of the individual wearing it for radiation protection purposes. The electronic personal dosimeter has the advantages over older types that.....
SynopsisGeodetic measuring procedures are used to quantify georeferenced points or motions in one, two, or three dimensions. This is done with the help of tools like total stations, levels, and global navigation satellite system receivers. The global Geodetic Me.....
SynopsisDeformation monitoring (also referred to as deformation survey) is the systematic measurement and tracking of the alteration in the shape or dimensions of an object as a result of stresses induced by applied loads. Deformation monitoring is a major component o.....
SynopsisGeotechnical measuring devices measure displacements or movements and related environmental effects or conditions without external georeferencing. It includes the use of instruments such as extensometers, piezometers, pressuremeters, rain gauges, thermometers,.....
SynopsisOil-less bearing refers to a bearing that does not require oil for it's lubrication because a lubricant such as powdered graphite or grease is already incorporated in the bearing housing and hermetically sealed - meaning that it is lubricated for it's lifetime.....
SynopsisTranslucent concrete (also: light-transmitting concrete) is a concrete based building material with light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements — usually optical fibers. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. T.....
