Industry & Technology
- Eddy-current testingEddy-current testingEddy-current testing uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. There are several limitations, among them: only conductive materials can be tested, the surface of the material must be accessible, the finish of the material may cause bad readings, the depth of...
, a nondestructive testing technique for metal objects - Edge crush testEdge crush testThe edge crush test is a laboratory test method that is used to measure the cross-direction crushing of a sample of corrugated board. It gives information on the ability of a particular board construction to resist crushing...
, a standard test of the strength of cardboard boxes - Electrical capacitance tomographyElectrical capacitance tomographyElectrical capacitance tomography is a method for determination of the dielectric permittivity distribution in the interior of an object from external capacitance measurements. It is a close relative of electrical impedance tomography and is proposed as a method for industrial process monitoring,...
, an industrial process imaging technique - ECN-capable transport, a transport layer capable of using Explicit Congestion NotificationExplicit Congestion NotificationExplicit Congestion Notification is an extension to the Internet Protocol and to the Transmission Control Protocol and is defined in RFC 3168 . ECN allows end-to-end notification of network congestion without dropping packets. ECN is an optional feature that is only used when both endpoints...

- ElectrochemotherapyElectrochemotherapyElectrochemotherapy is a therapeutic approach providing delivery into cell interior of non-permeant drugs with intracellular targets. It is based on the local application of short and intense electric pulses that transiently permeabilize cell membrane, thus allowing transport of molecules otherwise...
