  2. Tachometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachometer

    A tachometer that can indicate up to 7000 RPM (left) A tachometer (revolution-counter, tach, rev-counter, RPM gauge) is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. [1] The device usually displays the revolutions per minute (RPM) on a calibrated analogue dial, but digital displays are ...

  3. Tachymeter (watch) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachymeter_(watch)

    Tachymeter scale on a Citizen watch bezel. A tachymeter (pronounced / t æ ˈ k ɪ m ə t ər /) is a scale sometimes inscribed around the rim of an analog watch with a chronograph.It can be used to conveniently compute the frequency in inverse-hours of an event of a known second-defined period, such as speed (distance over hours) based on travel time (distance over speed), or measure distance ...

  4. Load cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_cell

    Using a charge amplifier with a long time constant allows accurate measurement lasting many minutes for small loads up to many hours for large loads. Another advantage of Piezoelectric load cells conditioned with a charge amplifier is the wide measuring range that can be achieved.

  5. Tacheometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacheometry

    Diagram of measurements: D is the slant distance; S is the horizontal distance; Δh is the vertical distance. Tacheometry ( / ˌ t æ k i ˈ ɒ m ɪ t r i / ; from Greek for "quick measure") is a system of rapid surveying , by which the horizontal and vertical positions of points on the Earth's surface relative to one another are determined ...

  6. Wheel speed sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_speed_sensor

    Many of the subsystems in a rail vehicle, such as a locomotive or multiple unit, depend on a reliable and precise rotary speed signal, in some cases as a measure of the speed or changes in the speed. This applies in particular to traction control , but also to wheel slide protection , registration, train control, door control and so on.

  7. Minor loop feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_loop_feedback

    This process continues with each loop having less bandwidth than the bandwidth of the enclosed system. As long as the bandwidth of each loop is less than the bandwidth of the enclosed sub-system by a factor of 3 to 5, the phase shift of the enclosed system can be neglected, i.e. the sub-system can be treated as simple flat gain.

  8. Obesity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity

    Decreased intake of sweet drinks is also related to weight-loss. [187] Success rates of long-term weight loss maintenance with lifestyle changes are low, ranging from 2–20%. [190] Dietary and lifestyle changes are effective in limiting excessive weight gain in pregnancy and improve outcomes for both the mother and the child. [191]

  9. Tachograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachograph

    Tachographs are mandatory for vehicles allowed to carry a total weight of over 3.5 tonnes and vehicles built to carry at least 9 passengers, if the vehicle is used for commercial purposes. They are used to review the driving and rest time of drivers during reviews by traffic standards organizations or accident investigation.
