A dates syrup company in Oman uses a special industrial drive
which consists of an induction motor. As the drive seems to be
the main component of the company, it becomes mandatory to
measure its voltage, current, resistance etc. more frequently in
an accurate way. A meter is used to measure the above
electrical quantities, may affect the induction motor
performance under test. Also meter will affect the circuit
measurements due to loading effect. Choose a suitable meter for
the measurement of various
electrical quantities and explain it with neat diagram.

Digital imaging procedures are finding increasing application in
diagnostic cardiologist. As a result, a display device has become
an integral part of the diagnostic cardiologist department.
Efforts are underway to investigate the suitability of high-
resolution display device for diagnosis by the cardiologist.
Initial results appear to be encouraging. Initial results show that
the display device falls short in key performance features such
as the maximum luminance, veiling glare (scatter in the glass
faceplate) that reduces the modulation transfer, the number of
resolvable picture elements, which is smaller than the number
of addressable locations on the fluorescent screen, spatial noise
(phosphor granularity) is limiting the low-contrast detectability,
and dynamic range. With neat diagram explain the construction
and operation of a display device.

complete measurement setup to maintain the chemical phenol at

9. -26 °C. Choose a negative temperature coefficient sensor and
explain its construction
and operation with neat diagram.

The pressure mat is used to measure sitting discomfort in
aircraft passenger seats. The pressure mat monitor real time
surface pressure monitoring from the occupant when seated.
Piezo -resistive sensor is used as a sensing element. The
discrete pressure data is used to map the pressure distribution
from the backrest and to compute the seat's cushion deflection
and corresponding backrest contour caused by the passenger's
weight. The sensor mat contains a total of 72 sensing elements
arranged in an evenly distributed pattern. The arrangement of
the sensors focuses on 4 distinct areas of the backrest for an
aircraft passenger seat. Explain the importance of the
standardization procedure with particular attention in increasing
the repeatability of the measurements and reducing drift and
hysteresis in pressure mat.
