To monitor thermal output, a cost-effective and reliable heat meter is a prerequisite.
The key considerations in selecting an AMR system are reliable endpoints (meter interface unit) and its mode of communication to the data concentrator.
The 20-meter walk test is a reliable measure of gait speed.
BMI, which has been shown to be a reliable measure of underweight/overweight, was calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared [ 65, 66].
This test is a reliable measure for the assessment of physical fitness [ 25, 26] and quantifies (in meters) functional mobility through the distance traveled walking in six minutes.
Based on the results of the evaluation acceptance criteria for a reliable skin conductance meter used for skin conductance levels studies could be proposed.
This paper presents a methodology for designing reliable and robust metering systems, taking into account aspects, such as: observability; absence of critical data; possible changes in network configuration; loss of remote terminal units.
Due to increasing numbers of people with diabetes taking part in extreme sports (e.g., high-altitude trekking), reliable handheld blood glucose meters (BGMs) are necessary.
Although when used correctly the older meters provided reliable information, in practice their accuracy, usability and so potential impact was limited and may have formed a barrier to their effectiveness without high levels of motivation.
Problem: The study has three aims: (1) to determine whether a laser Doppler flux meter is a reliable and reproducible measure of laryngeal blood flux.
