Sentence examples for standards of length from inspiring English sources

Entrusted with comparing the standards of length for measuring an international arc of triangulation from Ireland to Russia, he published his results in 1866.

The utility, present performance, and limitations of stabilized lasers as standards of length or frequency for precision measurements are discussed.

The metric system was first implemented during the French Revolution (1790s) with just the metre and kilogram as standards of length and mass respectively.

In order to perform his experiments, Galileo had to set up standards of length and time, so that measurements made on different days and in different laboratories could be compared in a reproducible fashion.

For example, the standard of length in the metric system was defined (1889 1960) by the separation of two lines on a particular metal bar, but it is now defined as equal to the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in a certain period of time (see metre).

LDPC codes specified in the IEEE 802.11ad standard of length N=672 and rate R=1/2 and 3/4 were used to evaluate performance.

In a pure infinitesimal geometry, Weyl argued, if attention is restricted to a single point of the manifold, then some standard of length or gauge must be chosen arbitrarily before the lengths of vectors can be determined.

However, Reichenbach argued, the choice of a rigid rod as standard of length is tantamount to the claim that there are no non-differential — "universal" — distorting forces that affect all bodies in the same way and cannot be screened off.

Talleyrand, Assemblée representative of the clergy, revolutionary leader and former Bishop of Autun, at the prompting of the mathematician and secretary of the Académie Condorcet, approached the British and the Americans in early 1790 with proposals of a joint effort to define a common standard of length based on the length of a pendulum.

Because the medaka grows continuously throughout its life cycle, it would be difficult to establish a suitable standard of length for this type of analysis.
