When a warehouse manager suspects poor system performance, the first step is typically to check the real data. Unfortunately, more than 50% of the time, system performance is measured incorrectly.

Process Engineer Richard Kasica of NIST’s Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology holds a wafer of the type typically produced in the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition chamber. A new study ...

Measurement error models address the deviation between observed and true values, thereby refining the reliability of statistical inference. These frameworks are ...

All analog measurements — voltage, current, temperature, humidity, etc. — include some amount of error. Your job is to minimize those errors enough to give your ...

There are many ways that measurement can be used in the diagnostic process and in assessing the incidence of diagnostic errors, according to the committee that authored the Institute of Medicine’s ...

Measure twice, cut once. That’s sound advice, though no guarantee you won't measure wrong twice. Some measuring errors occur before the ruler is in hand, while interpreting plans. Other errors spring ...

Some bit errors in the output words of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), such as those due to comparator metastability (sparkle codes) [1] and low-frequency flicker noise, occur over a large ...

LinkedIn said Thursday it discovered a pair of measurement errors that led to more than 400,000 advertisers overpaying for campaigns on the professional networking platform. In a blog post, the ...
