Conversion of Units of Measurement Conversion of units must be done explicitly by the programmer; this can be both burdensome and error-prone, since the conversion factors used by the programmer might be entered incorrectly or might have limited accuracy. The conversion factor is the number by which a quantity expressed in that unit must be multiplied in order to be expressed in the equivalent unit in the standard system of units. Conversion of units may generate extra multiplication operations; however, if the compiler performs constant folding [aho], these operations and their conversion factors can often be combined with other constants. www.cs.utexas.edu /users/novak/units95.html   (7803 words)

Set Conversion Factor Window Use the Set Conversion Factor window either to calculate the conversion factor, by calibrating it against an object of known length or to Load/Save/Edit directly the conversion factor. These are the steps to set the conversion factor by drawing a line of known length over the image. Several conversion values files, calculated for images taken at 72, 75, 96, 100, 150, 300 and 600 DPI are provided in the program directory, for converting measurements to kilometers, millimeters and inches. bersoft.com /bimagem/help/conversion_factor.htm   (981 words)

Method of automatically setting coordinate conversion factor - Patent 5444245   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) In a first method, a conversion factor at a predetermined position has been calculated in advance, and while detecting a position of the contour of each sample by a sensor or the like, the sample is mounted at the predetermined position, thereby to utilize the above-mentioned conversion factor. In the above second method, the operation performed by the operator is troublesome and the accuracy in the conversion factor is degraded by an error of an objective position input depending upon the degree of proficiency of the operator. The conversion factor is finally obtained in process step 19 on the basis of the result of the above process and the scale between both coordinate systems. www.freepatentsonline.com /5444245.html   (2426 words)

Monthly Energy Review: Appendix A. Thermal Conversion Factors. @ HighBeam Research Conversion factors for reformulated and oxygenated motor gasolines are calculated by EIA based on data published in the Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Mobile Sources, National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory report EPA 420-F-95-003 Fuel Economy Impact Analysis of Reformulated Gasoline. EIA adopted the Bureau of Mines thermal conversion factor of 6.636 million Btu per barrel, which was assumed to be equal to that of asphalt (see Asphalt) and was first published by the Bureau of Mines in the Petroleum Statement, Annual, 1970.

Inflation conversion factors for dollars 1665-estimated 2015 to dollars of 2004 and other years Final conversion factors for year 2005 dollars and estimates for dollars of 2006 will be available in January 2006, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics has published the final CPI figures for 2005. Conversion factors use data from John J. McCusker and colleagues for the period 1665 to 1912. The 2005 conversion factors are based on estimated 2005 CPI, using the average of OMB and CBO estimates for 2005. oregonstate.edu /Dept/pol_sci/fac/sahr/sahr.htm   (2921 words)

CHAPTER 4: SUMMARY - INTEGRATION OF ANALYTICAL METHODS AND FOOD ENERGY CONVERSION FACTORS For food energy conversion factors, the preferred factors are integrated into the recommendations, based on the analytical methods used. When a gravimetric method is used, an energy conversion factor of 37 kJ/g (9 kcal/g) should be applied, unless the complete package of analyses specified by Merrill and Watt (1973) are used, in which case the specific factor is preferable. Stated conversely, the amount (weight) of carbohydrate to yield a specific amount of energy differs depending on the form, owing to the water of hydration in different molecules. www.fao.org /DOCREP/006/Y5022E/y5022e05.htm   (1033 words)

Monthly Energy Review: Appendix A. Thermal conversion factors. @ HighBeam Research The thermal conversion factors presented in the following tables can be used to estimate the heat content in British thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy measured in physical units, such as barrels or cubic feet. In general, the annual thermal conversion factors presented in Tables A2 through A6 are computed from final annual data or from the best available data and labeled "preliminary." Often, the previous year's factor is used as a preliminary value until data become available to calculate the factor appropriate to the year. EIA adopted the thermal conversion factor of 5.048 million Btu per barrel as adopted by the Bureau of Mines from the Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation publication Competition and Growth in American Energy Markets 1947-1985, a 1968 release of historical and projected statistics. www.highbeam.com /library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1G1:126316588&refid=ip_almanac_hf   (3361 words)

[No title] In order to obtain the lifetime excess per rad, we use Box 4 to divide the values in Column H by the dose-differences, for which the data are provided by age-group in Gofman 1990, Tables 15-G through 15-K. This provides lifetime excess cancer-deaths per 10,000 females, from an average dose of one A-bomb rad. Use of this factor with our method is equivalent to saying that the PERCENT increase in the background rate, per rad of radiation exposure --- the Excess Relative Risk --- is approximately the same from one population to another, regardless of DIFFERENCES in their background rates. Whatever combined factors cause the breast-cancer mortality rate in the mid-1960s to be 5.67 times higher in the USA than in Japan, these combined factors also cause radiation-induced genetic lesions from medical irradiation to have a greater effect in the USA than in Japan. www.ratical.org /radiation/CNR/PBC/chp40.txt   (4598 words)

ASA October 1996 Newsletter For all physicians, this would be $0.85 less than the conversion factor if the existing default formula were applied across the board; for surgeons, it would be $5.96, or about 14.3 percent less than the conversion factor resulting from application of the existing default formula. Fairness would indicate, ASA argued, that anesthesiology's conversion factor be adjusted modestly upward proportionate to the "all other" category of which it had been a part in 1994 and 1995. Add in a 14.3-percent cut in the anesthesiology conversion factor, and we could be looking at a unit value in the $13 or $14 range. www.asahq.org /Newsletters/1996/10_96/washington.html   (1364 words)

Lesson 2-4 The Factor-Label Method A conversion factor is an expression for the relationship between units. This is because we are very familiar with the units and the conversion factors involved.

unit.htm If a unit to be converted is in the numerator, that unit must be in the denominator of the conversion factor in order for it to cancel. In fact, the better method (foolproof) to do the conversion would be to go to the base unit first, and then to the final unit you want. It would be a good idea to memorize a few conversion factors involving converting mass, volume, length and temperature. www.towson.edu /~ladon/unit.html   (525 words)
