Micropipette calibration by differential pressure measurements

The pipetting of small volumes, typically ranging between a few and one thousand microliters (mu l), is widely used in many laboratories and essentially relies on air displacement to aspirate and dispense the liquid contained in a small plastic tip. ...

Gravity-Insensitive Flexure Pivot Oscillators

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Lennart Rubbert, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan

Classical mechanical watch plain bearing pivots have frictional losses limiting the quality factor of the hairspring-balance wheel oscillator. Replacement by flexure pivots leads to a drastic reduction in friction and an order of magnitude increase in qual ...

Resolving 1 million sensing points in an optimized differential time-domain Brillouin sensor

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Alejandro Dominguez Lopez

A differential pulse-width pair (DPP) Brillouin distributed fiber sensor is implemented to achieve centimetric spatial resolution over distances of several kilometers. The presented scheme uses a scanning method in which the spectral separation between the ...

Experimental assessment of the speed of light perturbation in free-fall absolute gravimeters

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of a free falling ...

Point rainfall statistics for ecohydrological analyses derived from satellite integrated rainfall measurements

Andrea Rinaldo

Satellite rainfall measurements, nowadays commonly available, provide valuable information about the spatial structure of rainfall. In areas with low-density rain gage networks, or where these networks are nonexistent, satellite rainfall measurements can a ...
