Hand The hand is a portion of the arm or anterior limb[?] of a human or other primate, at where the appendage[?] terminates. Using the term hand is merely a scientific usage of anthropomorphization, to distinguish the terminations of the front paws from the hind ones. Something that is like a human hand, such as the rotating pointer on the face of a clock with analog display[?] or on a gauge or dial (hand (mechanisms)[?]). www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/ha/Hand.html   (715 words)

BPHC - Hand Volumeter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Hand volumeter measurement for edema of the hand, originally developed by Brand at the Center, has been widely taught in seminars due to the ability of the measurement to show increasing or decreasing fluid volume of the hand that can be correlated with time of day, type of treatment or other changes in patient status. The measurement technique is also helpful in situations where there is swelling in the post operative period of hand surgery when occasionally a patient develops additional or persistent swelling. The usefulness of the hand volume measurement is realized when one considers that treatment of patients with swelling of the hand is different for each situation. www.bphc.hrsa.gov /nhdp/Hand_Volumeter_OT.htm   (446 words)

Hand (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A hand (or handbreadth) is a unit of length measurement, usually based on the breadth of a male human hand and thus around 4 inches long (about 10 cm). In this context, one hand equals four inches (10.16 cm), and the horse is measured from the ground to the top of the withers. Instead of decimal or vulgar fractions, a hand comprises four inch-long steps, so a horse 62 inches (157 cm) tall would be 15.2 hh (said “fifteen two hands high”). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hand_(unit)   (244 words)

Length and Distance Measurement Conversion Reference The "Hand" measurement is used worldwide to state the height of horses. The "Fathom" measurement is used exclusively to measure the depth of water. Fractional measurements are shown with up to five digits of precision and most are shown in scientific notation to allow the table to be narrow enough to be printed on a single page. nemesis.lonestar.org /reference/measures/lengths.html   (555 words)

Evaluation of an instrumented glove for hand-movement acquisition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The female and the male group had comparable hand size ("small" and "medium" corresponded to hand size 7 to 7 1/2 and 7 1/2 to 8, respectively; the sizes are defined as the length of a hand, from the distal wrist flexion crease to the tip of the middle finger and are measured in inches). To achieve repeatability of the subject's wrist and hand-joint positions in the "flat phase," we drew the subject's hand (maximum extension of the hand, all hand joints and elbow touching the table, and thumb abducted at 37°) and forearm (in pronated position) profiles on the tabletop where the experiments were performed. Even if measurements made by the sensors are not highly repeatable, their output values would be adequate for clustering, i.e., creating classes of angle measurements by dividing the whole angle range, such that a number of patterns would be determined for each joint (e.g., flexed, half-flexed, and extended) [10]. www.vard.org /jour/03/40/2/dipietro.html   (5644 words)

HUMAN BODY VIBRATION EXPOSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT A special hand adaptor developed for the measurement of hand-arm vibration transmitted from the handle of such tools is described in the article, and measurement results obtained with it on a chip hammer are illustrated. If a resilient element is being used between the hand and the vibrating structure (for example, a cushioned handle), it is permissible to use a suitable mount for the transducer (for example, a thin, suitably formed metal sheet) placed between the hand and the surface of the resilient material. Measurement of the energy transmitted to the hand and of the tool application force is feasible and desirable for research purposes and for future application to special tools, but is not yet proposed in this International Standard. www.zainea.com /body.htm   (3975 words)

Papers by Steve Nickerson When these measurements were completed for all three points the "Z" value was determined by stretching a string equipped with a line level over the point to be measured while the vertical distance was measured with one of the tapes. Measurements were taken by stretching a tape, held on edge, from the centre point of this rose to a point directly above the object being measured. The measurements recorded were the angle on the rose and the horizontal distance to the object from which the X and Y values were determined using the spreadsheet. nickerson.icomos.org /steve/papers/mea-c.htm   (1648 words)

The "Hand" Measurement We know that today a "hand" is 4 inches, with one inch increments, and the measurement is from level ground to the highest non-variable skeletal structure on the horse, the withers. Height of a horse is measured from level ground to the highest non-variable skeletal structure on the horse, the withers. The rules of trade demanded the same measurement everywhere, and the hand was eventually standardized by the Egyptians around 3,000 BC based upon a complex system including the "cubit." Because of the enormous influence of the Egyptian culture, use of this system migrated to other countries and cultures. www.omafra.gov.on.ca /english/livestock/horses/facts/info_hands.htm   (1147 words)

System and method for power measurement in outdoor antenna units - Patent 6337975 The output power measurement is determined in the antenna unit by obtaining a digital output power measurement, modulating the power measurement, and transmitting the modulated measurement signal to the hand held device.

A gaging primer for the rest of us Precision hand tools perform the same vital functions as their more specialized and expensive cousins: assuring dimensional accuracy of manufactured components, reducing scrap, monitoring tooling and fixtures for wear and misalignment, and generally keeping manufacturing processes in control. External measurements are made by closing the jaws over the piece to be measured, and internal measurements are made by opening up the inside diameter contacts. Measurement results are limited by the condition of the gage and the manner in which it is used. www.qualitydigest.com /july01/html/gageprim.html   (1845 words)

hand-held instruments for shipboard RF measurements Fortunately, the measurement process has become easier over the years with the maturation of hand-held, battery-operated instruments that have the high performance, interference resistance, and ease of use that are essential when working in close quarters. To make a wide range of measurements, almost all of the contents of the bench top had to be hauled along, connected by a maze of coaxial (and sometimes waveguide and semi-rigid) transmission lines, set up, and calibrated. Measuring the isolation of antennas during the regular maintenance schedule makes it possible to identify changes in antenna position that can affect radiation pattern and overall performance. rfdesign.com /mag/radio_handheld_instruments_aid   (2036 words)

Tutorial 3 Measurement Invariance: Conceptual and Data Analysis Issues 2004 On the basis of absolute differences in the scores on the measurement scale, substantive inferences are made about between-group differences in the level of the construct purportedly represented by the items/measures. When this assumption of measurement invariance is in fact violated, absolute differences in scores between groups, and therefore inferences based on these differences, are likely to be misleading or not meaningful. On the other hand, measurement invariance or lack thereof may also reflect or represent substantive between-groups differences that are of theoretical interest. www.siop.org /Conferences/04Con/Regbk/tutorial_3.aspx   (412 words)

MMS Online Feature - Integrating CMMs With Shopfloor Operations The case for a shopfloor coordinate measuring machine combines the arguments in favor of shopfloor gaging with the case for a CMM in general. Measuring work on the shop floor can bring the application of the measurement closer to real time, so the results have more value in controlling the process. Coordinate measuring machines for shopfloor use are designed to resist the influence of ambient temperature on measurement results. www.mmsonline.com /articles/030405.html   (1188 words)
