An upgrade to linear scales eliminated motion errors and improved the accuracy of a vertical machining center at Votaw Precision Technologies. Votaw Precision Technologies in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., ...

On a linear scale, we know that four is twice as big as two and eight twice as big as four. This is what a casual observer of earthquake magnitude scales would expect: that an earthquake of 6.0 ...

The LIDA 500 Series 20-µm incremental linear scale offers measuring steps of 1 to 0.1 µm.

This post offers reasons for using logarithmic scales, also called log scales, on charts and graphs. It explains when logarithmic graphs with base 2 are preferred to logarithmic graphs with base ...

In the analysis of a general linear model a scale parameter arises in the standard deviations of rank estimates and as a standardizing constant for rank test statistics.

On the face of it, making a clock that displays the time by moving a pointer along a linear scale shouldn’t be too hard. After all, steppers and linear drives should do the job in a jiffy. Th… ...
