A common measure of the density of a lidar [light detection and ranging] dataset... NPS the typical or average lateral distance between pulses in a lidar dataset, typically expressed in meters and most simply calculated as the square root of the average area per first return point. This value is predicted in mission planning and empirically calculated from the collected data, using only the first(or last) return points as surrogates for pulses... The term NPS is more commonly used in low-density collections(greater than or equal to 1 meter NPS) with its inverse, nominal pulse density(NPD), being used in high-density collections(less than 1 meter NPS). 2, record 1, English, - nominal%20pulse%20spacing

The meter per second is the derived unit of speed in the International System of Units(SI). The meter per second(m/s) is equal to 3. 6 kilometers per hour(km/h), or about 2. 236936 miles per hour(mph), or 3. 28084 feet per second(ft/s), or 39. 370079 inches per second(in/s) or 1. 943844 knots(kn). The speed is the distance traveled by an object during a period of time. Thus, meters per second(meters/second) show how many meters are traveled in one second. The meter is a unit of length in the metric system[, ] while the second is a unit of time. 5, record 2, English, - metre%20per%20second

Visibility meters may be classified according to the quantities that they measure. Telephotometers and transmissometers measure the transmissivity or, alternatively, the extinction coefficient of the atmosphere. Nephelometers measure the scattering function of the particles suspended in the atmosphere. A third category of visibility meters makes use of an artificial "haze" of variable density that is used to obscure a marker at a fixed distance from the visibility meter. 4, record 3, English, - visibility%20meter

The electronic system for access control, driver authorization and immobilization jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and Siemens Automotive is a favorite among purchasers of the new S-Class. The world’s very first chip card-based locking and safety technology has been available for the top-of-the-line model from Stuttgart, Germany, as an option under the name Keyless-Go since May, 1999. 1, record 6, English, - Keyless%20Go

The keyless unlocking is brought about by an invisible dialog. As soon as the driver touches a door handle, which doubles as a capacitance sensor, the receiver and transmitter unit integrated in the card is scanned by the "control center" in the vehicle. During this process, the distance between the card and the transmitter located in each door and in the rear bumper must not exceed one meter. The ensuing encrypted data exchange, which is copy-proof, takes place in a matter of milliseconds. If the control unit recognizes the Keyless-Go card, the data is decoded, and the doors are unlocked. 1, record 6, English, - Keyless%20Go

Autrefois les arpenteurs utilisaient une véritable chaîne composée de maillons pour mesurer une distance entre deux points. C'est pourquoi cette opération s'appelle un chaînage. Aujourd'hui la chaîne a été remplacée par un ruban à mesurer [...] Il existe d'autres méthodes pour mesurer une distance. Le télémètre électronique transmet une série d'ondes à une vitesse constante. Celle-ci est réfléchie sur un prisme et revient vers son point de départ. Le temps entre l'émission et la réception permet de calculer la distance entre le télémètre et son prisme. On peut également obtenir une distance par calcul (méthode d'intersection).
