One thoughtful taste-tester pointed out that they might taste very differently when eaten warm, and another confessed, "This kinda just makes me want a real doughnut".
But early responses were lukewarm, with testers pointing to the stated battery life of just 25 hours, and the limited number of devices with which the Gear can communicate - presently just the Galaxy Note 3 "phablet" and Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, though more are expected to be added.
The 1,200 beta testers Point had at NYU weren't about to change that.
From the testers' point of view, peers were satisfied from their new activities.
The testers can point to successes, having already put paid to one Olympic champion.
The softening point of asphalt mortar was obtained by means of a WSY-025D asphalt softening point tester equipped with a steel ball of 3.5 g and steel ring of 20 mm in diameter (Wuxi Petroleum Asphalt Equipment Co. Ltd., China).
It uses a chilled mirror or dew point tester.
As senior tester Dr Paul Wright pointed out in his interview with the BBC earlier this month, there is still no blood testing, EPO testing or unannounced out-of-competition testing being carried out in Jamaica.
The specimens were studied also for crystal structure, chemical composition, surface morphology, surface topography, microhardness and electrical resistivity by X-ray diffractometry, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, stylus based surface profilometer, Vickers microhardness tester and four point probe method, respectively.
Four point probe tester, Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy Dispersive Spectrum and pin on-disc system were used to evaluate electrical conductivity, characterization and tribological property of Cu–W composite respectively.
