DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR CHARACTERIZATION Sample Clauses

DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR CHARACTERIZATION. In a wave tank experiment, the physical parameters to be measured are not static but dynamic. Therefore attention must be paid to the sensor ability to transcribe the physical phenomenon variations into electrical variations without loss of information. To really be thorough, all the sensors should be tested dynamically. However having a traceable reference with known uncertainty for dynamic calibration is not easy. Force sensors can be calibrated with a reference spring associated to transition stage and a reference position sensor. Pressure sensors can be calibrated with a special pressure generator reference device. Force sensors installed onboard moving bodies experience acceleration and measure the inertia component of the sensors. Dynamic calibration or at least evaluation of the active mass of the sensor should be made prior to trials and inertia force components be removed from the total force signal. This aspect is the most important for multiple axis force sensors for which forces and moments may be influenced by the motions (angles and accelerations). Associated situations are both sensors on board floating bodies measuring mooring or connection forces or PTO forces and sensors measuring loads in the case of forced motions for instance with a hexapod. Practically we only apply the following procedure for the wave gauges and the capacitive water elevation probes. The sensor follows the surface of water in a jug moved by a vertical translation stage. The sensor output is compared to the jug motion measurement. The jug motions are measured by a reference magnetostrictive displacement sensor set up on the vertical translation table. This reference sensor is checked by a certified calibration laboratory every year. The water jug describes a vertical sinusoidal monochromatic motion. 93 period/magnitude combinations are chosen in the working domain of the wave gauge, which depends on the wave maker capacities. Magnitude (cm) Period (s) A data acquisition system connected to a PC measures the signals from the wave gauge and from a reference at 100Hz. Each test contains a starting ramp, ten periods at full amplitude and an ending ramp. The calibration signals analysis is similar to the regular wave tests analysis. For the selected time interval, a discrete Fourier transform is calculated and the amplitude spectrum is displayed. The signals are decomposed in 3rd order Fourier series. And the stability is assessed by calculating the Fourier coefficients th...

  • Recharacterizations If you make a contribution to a Traditional IRA and later recharacterize either all or a portion of the original contribution to a Xxxx XXX along with net income attributable, you may elect to treat the original contribution as having been made to the Xxxx XXX. The same methodology applies when recharacterizing a contribution from a Xxxx XXX to a Traditional IRA. The deadline for completing a recharacterization is your tax filing deadline (including any extensions), for the year for which the original contribution was made. You may not recharacterize a Xxxx XXX conversion or an employer-sponsored retirement plan rollover.

  • Income Tax Characterization For purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes, the Issuer will, and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance of any such Notes (and each Person who acquires an interest in any Notes through such Noteholder, by the acceptance by such Person of an interest in the applicable Notes) agrees to, treat the Notes that are characterized as indebtedness at the time of their issuance, and hereby instructs the Issuer to treat such Notes, as indebtedness for federal, state and other tax reporting purposes. Each Noteholder agrees that it will cause any Person acquiring an interest in a Note through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment as indebtedness under applicable tax law, as described in this Section 3.21. The Notes will be issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes the Trust shall not be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

Unless mutually agreed between the Employer and the Union problem-solving discussions shall not extend the deadlines for filing a grievance. The Union Xxxxxxx or in their absence, the Local Union President, or Area Xxxxxxx, or Chief Xxxxxxx, either with the employee or alone, shall present to the appropriate supervisor a written request for a meeting. If the supervisor agrees to a problem- solving meeting, this meeting shall be held within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the request. The supervisor, employee, Union Xxxxxxx, and up to one (1) other management person shall attempt to resolve the problem through direct and forthright communication. If another member of management is present that person will not be hearing the grievance at Step Two, should it progress to that Step.

  • Shift Rotation Routine shift rotation is not an approach to staffing endorsed by the Employer. Except for emergency situations where it may be necessary to provide safe patient care, shift rotation will not be utilized without mutual consent. If such an occasion should ever occur, volunteers will be sought first. If no one volunteers, the Employer will rotate shifts on an inverse seniority basis until the staff vacancies are filled.

  • Extra Trips a. Bus Drivers may be absent from driving part and/or all of their regular bus routes to take an extra trip. This will include Kindergarten route, shuttles, and noon Xxxxx Drivers. For Pay purposes the extra trip begins at the end of the driver's regular route. b. Regular Drivers desiring to take trips shall sign up at first Bus Drivers' Meeting held either prior to or on the opening day of school. Any Driver may join or remove themselves from the list at any time. All extra trips (Educational and Athletic/Group) shall be posted on one (1) list. c. Eligible Drivers shall be offered trips at a monthly field trip meeting on a seniority rotating basis. Between monthly meetings, trips shall be offered by phone or radio, on a seniority basis. d.

Drivers may not exchange trips. f. Drivers taking a group trip which involves an admission price and/or parking fee shall be covered by the group sponsoring the trip. g. In the event none of the eligible Drivers on the seniority rotation list are available to take a trip, the Drivers on the as-needed list will be asked. If no regular Drivers are available, then a Sub will be asked. If no Regular or Sub Drivers can take a trip, the Transportation Supervisor will appoint a Driver, starting with the least senior Driver on the DO WANT trips list. h. The Board may use the radio to contact Drivers for trips. Drivers must make the decision to drive or not to drive the offered trip within two (2) hours. i. If at all possible, the trips will be scheduled around two (2) weeks in advance. j.

If a Driver's trip date is changed, the scheduled Driver will stay on the trip. If the trip is canceled completely, the driver will be inserted next up the seniority rotation. The inserted driver shall not be taken out of rotation for forthcoming trips. l. If an Athletic Trip is canceled mid-event, the driver will be paid for the actual number of hours on duty; if rescheduled, the rescheduled event will be a new trip on the rotation list and the driver will be paid for the actual number of hours on duty. m. If a driver is on the insert list and already has a trip on the same day as a newly offered trip, the driver will stay on the insert list until a trip is offered for a day the driver is not already schedule to drive an extra trip. n. Any driver who cancels an extra trip two (2) or more times in a given month shall be skipped in the next rotation. o. Pay for extra trips will begin after the driver’s regular route time and will be at the driver’s regular rate of pay for up to two and one-half (2.5) hours for driver time and pre-trip.
