Introduced in 1983, this Part gives recommendations for the electrical sensing zone method (the Coulter principle). It is recommended that the primary calibration technique is that of "mass integration", where a known volume of particles under test is used to calibrate the volumetric size response directly. This allows the method to be self-calibrating and to approach being absolute. 

Liquid Fabric Softeners. The principal functions of fabric softeners are to minimize the problem of static electricity and to keep fabrics soft (see Antistatic agents). In these laundry additives, the fragrance must reinforce the sense of softness that is the desired result of their use. Most fabric softeners have a pH of about 3.5, which limits the materials that can be used in the fragrances. For example, acetals cannot be used because they break down and cause malodor problems in addition, there is the likelihood of discoloration from Schiff bases, oakmoss extracts, and some specialty chemicals. Testing of fragrance materials in product bases should take place under accelerated aging conditions (eg, 40°C in plastic bottles) to check for odor stabiUty and discoloration. 

In electrochemical kinetics, the concept of the electrode potential is employed in a more general sense, and designates the electrical potential difference between two identical metal leads, the first of which is connected to the electrode under study (test, working or indicator electrode) and the second to the reference electrode which is in a currentless state. Electric current flows, of course, between the test electrode and the third, auxiliary, electrode. The electric potential difference between these two electrodes includes the ohmic potential difference as discussed in Section 5.5.2. 

Someone remarked that my diodes point the wrong direction. They point in the direction I want actual current to flow, although manufacturers use a different convention which doesn t necessarily make sense. My understanding is that current flows from negative to positive (ground) and that all electricity IS negative. Just test the diodes in the direction you want continuity, before installing them in the circuit.

The direct transformation from the output pattern to the taste quality was performed here as one trial of expressing the actual human sensation using the output electrical pattern. A similar trial was done for evaluation of the strengths of sourness and saltiness, which will be mentioned later. These two trials depend on the utilization of simple transformation equations by extracting typical properties of output patterns. This method is effective if some data on sensory tests, using humans as a standard, can be obtained to compare with the sensor outputs. However, the expressions for the tastes of beer are obscure because they are not described by the five basic taste qualities. The purpose of the application of the taste sensor is also to express these kinds of obscure terms of human sense in scientific terms. 

Neither Dow nor GM has reported what the financial terms of the deal were. Dow insisted on a transaction that made economic sense for the company, and cogeneration is Dow s low-cost alternative to electricity from GM s fuel cells.30 When pems finally become a commercial product, it is very unlikely that their price will be competitive with industrial cogeneration, but this deal still makes sense for GM as part of its overall strategy to commercialize its fuel cells and get real-world testing. 

Several functional sodium channel assays that use membrane potential sensing dyes and pharmacological activators have been described [99,106, 108,112]. In addition, there are recent reports of fluorescent sodium channel assays using changes in an electric field applied across cells to activate sodium channels [110, 111], thus avoiding potential interactions of the test compound with the channel activator. 

Prior to the advent of sophisticated mechanical and electrical instrumentation, the observation of thermal phenomena was restricted to systems which were amenable to detection by the human senses. Such observations included investigations of boiling or melting processes, sublimation, fractional crystallization, color changes and the occurrence of odors. With the invention of the thermometer, the first quantitative experiment was made possible. Development of thermometry led to "thermal analysis by recording the temperature of a test material as a function of time. Further developments led to calorimetry — the science of measuring quantities of heat.
