Measurement Device & Measurements News From Industry & Science

Upcoming Conferences & Trade Shows!

Jan 22, 2007 — As much as we’d like, we can’t get to every conference, training course and expo. This Winter & Spring, for instance, there are IR/Info2007, Thermal Solutions 2007, The Measurement Science Conference and ThermoSense XXIX; all of which I’d like to visit.

I had a presentation last week at the IR/Info meeting in Orlando, so I made that meeting and continued to learn new things about Infrared Thermography Apps. This week I am missing two of the four meetings, partly because they are being held simultaneously of opposite sides of the USA.

For my part, I am working on a review of IR/Info 2007 and planning some more, in-depth feature stories for our sites on things I learned there. Either of the other meetings would be overload for me right now, having six websites under close management, too.

As it was, I just reviewed my submissions to my January Sensors Industrial Automation Newsletter and am working to complete a book review for SPIE

We would certainly like some feedback on the two meetings this week.

Feel free to submit a review or even short comments on a particular part of a program.



Great News Source for Technical, Trade and Consumer Meetings

Jan 4, 2007 — While working on posts of news stories from Business Wire, we were on the Website for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Showcase in Las Vegas, it starts over this coming weekend and runs through most of next week. Since we are technically ‘Members of The Press’, we registered to view the Exhibitors’ pre-show news release. There are tons, but only a few apply to our interest areas-but they are newsworthy stories, from our prespective.

Anyhow, long story short, we discovered the Virtal Press Office (VPO) website .

In addition to a treasure trunkfull of news stories, the best find, was the online calendar of meetings and links to them published by VPO. There’s a link already up on MeasurementMedia.com in the left colum block of our pages-it may stay a permanent feature there for the foreseeable future-we hope.

Neat Stuff!



Databases from Astronomy to Zoology

Nov 27, 2006 — MeasurementDatabases (MeasurementDB.com), our resources information website, has been growing lately. If you haven’t looked, check out the new links to several resources in the AstroPhysics, Crystals and Geology areas.

You would be surprised how much these diverse fields have in common, especially on the Web!

There’s more FREE database resources on the Web than we imagined at first.

If you know of some we haven’t added to our directories, let us know, please. It’s FREE and you will get the credit, even anonymously by virtue of the non de guerre feature of our registartion process.

Yes, we know it’s a pain in the neck to take time to register, but it is about the only way we have found to keep content spam to a minimum. The beauty lies in our privacy policy at MeasurementDB.com and our related measurement websites.

Search our links with the built-in search engine and you will find a rapidly growing resource for students, engineers and scientists!

Thanks for stopping in.



So, what else is new in the world of measurement, or the GSA?

Oct 22, 2006 — We’ve had a few comments posted. It’s a mixed message, though. Most are spam writers trying to fill the web with their junk. So goes the vagaries of the Web-some good, some not so good. Thank goodness for spam filters!

Meanwhile a serious set of conferences have been announced. One, Tempmeko 2007, The biennial International conference, held last in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 2005, has been announced for next May at Chateau Lake Louise in Banff, Alberta, CANADA. It is still accepting abstracts on various topics in temperature measurement. That ends at the end of October and then the program will be organized from various submissions and announced soon thereafter. Check the weblinks at MeasurementMedia.com.

Also a huge set of databases involving several areas of physics research have been discovered, or at least a source with lots of links to such resources. Look for an article an links on MeasurementDB.com during the coming week. Not this coming Monday, though, October 23rd.

It turns out that the Geological Society of America-GSA is having their 2006 annual meeting in Philly this week, right over the Market Street East subway station. That’s nearly in our backyard and we always look for good excuses to visit the Philadelphia Convention Center

We expect to at least visit the Exhibition for part of a day or two and learn what’s news from the 20 or more instrumentation companies showing their latest goodies.

Later….
