Doug and others,

What DO they put into that Mountain Dew?

*I don't know, but mornings around here would be a lot duller.  We had a
crisis yesterday, the vending machine ran out.  Oh, the sheer chaos.....

I am compelled to correct Doug's kind but blatant advert for me - call me a
member of the lunatic fringe if you will...

*Killjoy.

The EU project we are referring to, involved a definitive scientific
investigation of those "debatable" issues viz: Field strength; Effects of
different voltages; Coupon design; Measurement frequency etc.. However, the
second part of the project, based upon the results obtained from the first
part, involved the development of a possible process standard, and to see
if
this would - forgive the comment - "Hold water".

In this element of the project, 3 partners: Siemens, Berlin; NPL, London
and
NMRC, Cork; each tested the proposed specification using different test
instruments!

NMRC used a system they developed themselves, as did Siemens using a system
they built some 20 years ago. Only NPL used our Auto-SIR.

*Is this a different research project from the one in which Lares Cozzi of
Italy was a partner?  I did the SIR testing for them (using the AutoSir).
I know that Siemens, NPL and NMRC were partners in that one.

The results of this (published) proved that the specification is entirely
workable, as all 3 generated virtually identical results - hence the
attempt
to have this developed into a global industrial standard - IEC Draft
61189-5.

...and for all you fellow techies out there, do you know what is the
definition of an expert?

X is an unknown quantity - a Spurt is a drip under pressure!!

*I prefer the alternate definition that an expert is a man who knows 50
different ways to make love to a woman, but has no girlfriend.
