Troops must have a waist measurement close to or less than half their height or risk being placed in their service's remedial ...
The measurement of aerodynamic forces in shock tunnels is a critical area in high-speed aerodynamics research. In these facilities, short-duration, high-enthalpy flows pose unique challenges that ...
The Air Force tape test is returning to base gyms and fitness testing facilities, two years after the service dropped the abdominal circumference measurement in fitness assessments. The service is ...
(a) The system consisted of six parts as follows: (1) a force transducer; (2) a BAP; (3) a fixture; (4) a high-speed camera; (5) a pool; and (6) a data acquisition system. (b) Photo of the BAP. (c) ...
Technologies such as load cells are too bulky or obtrusive to measure loads in some tight spaces; that’s where thin, flexible force sensors come into play. However, flexible force-sensing technology ...
Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley published a paper last week on their measurement of the smallest force ever quantified. Researchers applied a known force to a ...
Fig. 1 Overview of the OFN sensor. (A) Schematic diagram of the OFN sensing system; (B) Photographs of the output light when the sensor was untouched, (C) subjected to normal force, and (D) subjected ...
