Examples

  • During the early stages of the study, attempts were made to use the Contact TRM to make images of the entire leg and foot area.

    Academic text (1996)
  • If it produces valuable clinical information, the Video TRM may be of more value.

    Academic text (1996)
  • For those regions upon which the pillow could be pressed, the Contact TRM always showed a difference when the Video TRM showed one.

    Academic text (1996)
  • Then the Contact TRM pillows covering that temperature range were pressed against the reference, and their readings recorded.

    Academic text (1996)
  • Video TRMs are accurate but expensive and bulky.

    Academic text (1996)
  • Most contact TRM systems consist of a series of flexible pillow detectors, generally about 18 in (46 cm) on a side, containing arrays of crystals that change color to correspond to a specific temperature.

    Academic text (1996)
  • Figure 3 illustrates inter-pillow calibration problems that prevent the use of Contact TRMs for determining absolute differences between limbs where the difference is too great to be visualized by the same pillow.

    Academic text (1996)
  • The scientists recorded the transmission time using the TRM before sending data to the satellite.

  • To coordinate the mission effectively, they noted the TRM to ensure the transmission reached the spacecraft at the correct moment.

  • The TRM indicated the exact time the message was sent from Earth to the rover on Mars.
