In this paper, we design two linear regression-based algorithms to study consumers' energy utilization behavior and evaluate their anomaly coefficients so as to combat energy theft caused by meter tampering and detect defective smart meters.
Instruments such as the pulsed-induction meter and the soil-conductivity meter detect magnetic soil anomalies, but only if the features are fairly shallow.
With this approach, the researchers could generate enough random Raman lasing in the samples to produce a signal that could be detected 400 meters away and could reliably identify ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate, as they report online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Borehole-type strain meters detect fluctuations in the strain of bedrock (extension and contraction of the bedrock) continuously over long periods of time after they are set within a borehole and integrated with the bedrock by expansible grout with an expansion coefficient of about 0.15%.
The scientists use a meter to detect any volatile gases that might be in the sample.
Pit vipers are so adept at infrared sensing that some can detect potential prey a meter away.
On the Superjet delivered to Aeroflot, a meter to detect leaks in the pipes that funnel fresh air, called bleed air, into the cabin had malfunctioned.
He routinely complained about every single aspect of a chess match, from swivel chairs to lighting; he could throw a fit over annoying noises that no sound meter could detect.
BECOME A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR As we said in the issue, FlamelCollege.org offers online paranormal-investigator "certification" for $95, which includes a textbook and EMF meter (to detect ghosts).
44, 45 At-home use of ketone meters that detect blood β-OHB has also been shown to aid in early detection and management of ketosis, which may decrease the need for specialized care.
They venture inside with the tools of their trade: K2 meters to detect electromagnetic fields, parabolic dishes to capture the faintest noises, night-vision lenses to penetrate the darkness.
