Measurement Databases

Nov 2, 2006 — WOW! There are so many!

We are trying to catalog as many new ones as we can locate to expand our coverage and present listings. If you visit our site dedicated to measurement databases you’ll note that we are making headway.

They tend to come in big lumps as we dig into various disciplines we find more than one. Note our recent forays into geological and calibration resource areas.

If we haven’t gotten to your favorite databases yet, feel free to sugguest them either here or to submit them at the website. We welcome submissions and screen them for content span.

You’ll be helping speed along our work and aiding your fellow info seekers. It helps us because it’s one we don’t have to locate and enter. It helps others because it both helps fund our websites (with more links and visitors and higher SE ratings) and provides a user-reviewed favorite. What could be better than a win-win like that!

There is a third win, too. You help to continue the example of sharing on the Web and inspire others.

TEMPERATURES.COM, INC. publishes information about measurement devices and measurement on its websites. The sites have articles, directories and news to foster competent measurements & analysis in industry & science. Sites are free. Submissions by visitors are encouraged and reviewed. Sites as of August 2007 are: lehos tecHeadlines, measureNEWS, About Temperature Sensors, TempSensor Directories, TempSensorNEWS, Measurement Databases, (MeasurementBlog.com)MeasurementMedia.com and MeasurementDevices.com

Fewer Affiliate Ads For US!!
Posted by: G R Peacock in Uncategorized

Nov 17, 2006 — One of our consultants looked over several of our new sites and told us two significant things.

1. Yuckk!-too many affiliate ads and the distractions they bring in your info & navigation areas.

2. Use Google or similar context-sensitive text ads instead, especially if they help the visitor see more options in their searches for useful products and other information.

As of today we have eliminated most affiliate ads, both graphic and text and kept only Google ads and the graphic link to GlobalSpec’s Search engines. Some of the useful ones, like those for Amazon books and handbooks, IR thermometers, Thermocouples and the like may be found on seperate, ad-specific pages, within each site. These vary by site and change over time.
Hope this change makes your visits more productive.

Of course we shall continue our ads in the top of page banner rotators. They are some of the most popular, mostly graphic links, to our individual organization sponsors.

14 Points From: Chapter 2 of Out of the Crisis by W. Edwards Deming
Create constancy of purpose toward improvement of product and service, with the aim to become competitive and to stay in business, and to provide jobs.
Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a new economic age. Western management must awaken to the challenge, must learn their responsibilities, and take on leadership for change.
Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality into the product in the first place.
End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag. Instead, minimize total cost. Move toward a single supplier for any one item, on a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust.
Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs.
Institute training on the job.
Institute leadership. The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and gadgets to do a better job. Supervision of management is in need of overhaul, as well as supervision of production workers.
Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company.
Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use that may be encountered with the product or service.
Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force.
* Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. Substitute leadership.
* Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers, numerical goals. Substitute leadership.

Remove barriers that rob the hourly worker of his right to pride of workmanship. The responsibility of supervisors must be changed from sheer numbers to quality.
Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of their right to pride of workmanship. This means, inter alia, abolishment of the annual or merit rating and of management by objective.
Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement.
Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish the transformation. The transformation is everybody's job.
