  2. Planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter

    The images show the principles of a linear and a polar planimeter. The pointer M at one end of the planimeter follows the contour C of the surface S to be measured. For the linear planimeter the movement of the "elbow" E is restricted to the y-axis. For the polar planimeter the "elbow" is connected to an arm with its other endpoint O at a fixed ...

  3. List of human-based units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human-based_units...

    This is a list of units of measurement based on human body parts or the attributes and abilities of humans (anthropometric units). It does not include derived units further unless they are also themselves human-based. These units are thus considered to be human scale and anthropocentric.

  4. Planimetrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimetrics

    To measure planimetrics a planimeter or dot planimeter is used. This rather advanced analog technology is being taken over by simple image measurement software tools like, ImageJ, Adobe Acrobat, Google Earth Pro, Gimp, Photoshop and KLONK Image Measurement which can help do this kind of work from digitalized images.

  5. Aortic valve area calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_area_calculation

    For verification purposes of the obtained valve area using echocardiogram and doppler measures, especially if the obtained valve area is in the range requiring surgery and cardiac output is low, the Gold standard of left heart catheterization for true hemodynamics should be obtained for validation using the Gorlin formula, so patient does not ...

  6. Dot planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_planimeter

    In forestry, cartography, and geography, the dot planimeter has been applied to maps to estimate the area of parcels of land. [1] [4] [5] [6] In botany and horticulture, it has been applied directly to sampled leaves to estimate the average leaf area. [7] [8] [9] In medicine, it has been applied to Lashley diagrams as an estimate of the size of ...

  7. Sense of balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_balance

    SCC sends adaptive signals, unlike the two otolith organs, the saccule and utricle, whose signals do not adapt over time. [citation needed] A shift in the otolithic membrane that stimulates the cilia is considered the state of the body until the cilia are once again stimulated. For example, lying down stimulates cilia and standing up stimulates ...

  8. Optical comparator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_comparator

    The profile projector is widely used for complex-shape stampings, gears, cams, threads and comparing the measured contour model.The profile projector is hence widely used in precision machinery manufacturing, including aviation, aerospace industry, watches and clocks, electronics, instrumentation industry, research institutes and detection metering stations at all levels, etc.

  9. Whole-body counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole-body_counting

    Whole body counting may be unable to distinguish between radioisotopes that have similar gamma energies. Alpha and beta radiation is largely shielded by the body and will not be detected externally, but the coincident gamma from alpha decay may be detected, as well as radiation from the parent or daughter nuclides. A scanning-bed whole-body ...
