This number, multiplied by itself and again by 2.309, gives with very fair accuracy the number of cells on the two sides of a square decimetre of comb, which is the number generally used to express the size of cells.
(Since there are 15.5 square inches in one square decimetre, this gives 775 cells per square decimetre - a little too big, due partly to the estimate being rougher with a smaller length, and partly (perhaps) to variation in the cells in the different parts of the comb we measured.
If it is desired to get the same accuracy as with the decimetre estimates, 4" (which is nearly 10.2 cm.) should be used; but we must then divide the result by 4.

The type of knot used to attach the pile to the warp and weft can help identify where the rug was made.
The quality of a rug is reflected by the fineness of the knots which are measured according to their square decimetre (about 15 square inches).
A coarse rug may have 400 knots per square decimetre, whereas a fine one may have many thousands.

 Mapping and Monitoring of decimeter-level seabed change
With sufficient calibration and absolute control, shallow water multibeam sonars should be capable of mapping decimetre level seabed change.
The same sources of error, however, that plague single-beam echo-sounding (and some addition new ones that affect multibeam sounders only), make it operationally extremely difficult to be able to resolve this small scale erosion and deposition using underway acoustics.
If a robust method to map and monitor the sediment water interface at scales of a decimetre could be developed it would allow researchers and engineers to better understand the effect of natural and man made influences on the seabed.

 Writer's Block - Writing Tips - SI Units (Metric system) (1)
SI: 10 centimetres to the decimetre; 10 decimetres to the metre; 1000 metres to the kilometre (passing the decametres and the hectometres on the way)
By adding the prefixes listed below to a base unit, you obtain derived units that are smaller or larger (by powers of 10) than the base unit.
Therefore, a centimetre is 0.01 metre; a square kilometre is 1,000,000 square metres; a cubic decimetre is 0.001 of a cubic metre; and a decagram is 10 grams.

 Inventing Common Names for 30 and 10 Centimetres. - Creativity Pool
Ten centimetres is one decimetre in the metric system, but the word decimetre is too long it seems to catch on as a common word.
Although threedec looks a bit long it is easy to say (it takes only about as long to say as foot) and it has the advantage of being a shorthand form of the words for the actual metric distance of 30 centimetres.
And my suggestion for “ten centimetres” is either a “palm” (the human palm is very approximately ten centimetres across), or a “onedec” standing for one decimetre - again it is easy to say and it is a shorthand form of the metric words “one decimetre”.

The main objective of the RTOD programme was to provide a future-proof global GNSS augmentation facility capable of driving a real-time Precise Point Positioning system with a target accuracy approaching one decimetre (RMS), or better.
The results presented demonstrate real-time orbit accuracy in the radial direction, which dominates the GNSS range measurement error due to the satellite orbit, with an accuracy that is consistent with that quoted for the IGS final-orbit product.
The paper will further demonstrate a real-time three-dimensional PPP accuracy approaching the one decimetre level when using the RTOD-based RTCM Message service; an accuracy approaching that obtained using the latest commercially available services.

 Session D3: Carrier Phase-Based Positioning 2
Differs from the traditional differential positioning techniques that require access to observations from one or more reference stations with known coordinates, PPP doesn't involve observation differencing.
As the continuous improvement of the precise products in precision and timeliness and the permanent turn-off of the Satellite Selectivity (SA), PPP will be feasible for real-time decimetre to centimetre accurate positioning and navigation in the near future.
Test results in both static and kinematic modes have indicated that decimetre to centimetre position accuracy is obtainable using the developed PPP system.
