Continuous gauging of electric traction contact wire
In this system the electric traction overhead contact wire wear is continuously measured. A GaAs LED and lens combination produces a collimated beam of light along the pantograph pan. The beam, through which the contact wire slides, is monitored by a vertical array of phototransistors spaced at …

The Architectural Coincidence: guessing consciously, gauging unconsciously
Gauging and guessing is a metaphor that represents the duality in the process of architectural design, between logic and intuition, reasoning and chancing, the explicit and the implicit. Throughout history, this duality implies not only different design methodologies but also deeply-rooted design …

Control chart procedures based on cumulative gauging scores
Control charts based on cumulative gauging scores rely on gauge scoring systems used for transforming actual observations into integer gauging scores. In some cases, the gauging scores are easy to obtain by using a mechanical device such as in the go-no-go inspection process. Thus, accurate …
