Just over the tracks of the miniature-gauge railway is a prickly tangle of twigs that, on closer inspection, is a forest of bonsai sloe trees, each only a few inches high and with a spread of about a foot, and when in flower or fruit there is no more precious sight.
This was not an issue for the installation of the sensors themselves since the application of miniature strain gauges and accelerometers by means of thin layer adhesives or spot welding is common practice.
Ruislip Lido is a Victorian reservoir with an artificial sand beach, surrounded by woodlands through which runs the Ruislip Lido Railway, a miniature 12" gauge railway with diesel and steam locomotives.
The combined osmolality of these compounds will generate a turgor pressure of 0.44 MPa or 4.4 atm at maximum ascus hydration, which is consistent with a published measurement of the mean ascus turgor pressure of 0.31 MPa using a miniature strain gauge device [13].
Pressure control is achieved by electro-hydraulic servo-systems and strain response is measured by miniature electrical resistance strain gauges.
Miniature semi-conductor strain-gauges of high-frequency response were employed to measure locally the strain on the exterior side of the plates and high-frequency response pressure transducers were used to measure time-dependent wall and total pressure.
Does anyone really need a kitchen torch with a fuel gauge or a miniature circular saw for cutting pizza?
At the Franklin Institute, the city's science museum, miniature trains crisscross an O-gauge Philadelphia in the Holiday Model Train Show, through the New Year.
Mini-fermentation assays were conducted with whole slurries conducted at higher biomass loadings in miniature vials vented with 18 gauge needles capped with 0.2 μM filters, using a total 4 mL volume.
The Botanical Garden's annual train show, a large-gauge model railway running through a setting of miniature New York City buildings and bridges made from natural materials like bark, twigs, grasses, leaves, berries and pine cones, will be on view through Jan . 5
