Improving the thermoelectric figure of merit. [PDF]
Sci Technol Adv Mater, 2021 The efficiency of a thermoelectric generator and the coefficient of performance (COP) of a thermoelectric heat pump are related to the hot and cold junction temperatures and a quantity known as the figure of merit, zT. During the second half of the twentieth century the figure of merit has gradually improved.

Figure of merit for piezoelectric MEMS speakers. [PDF]
Microsyst NanoengPiezoelectric MEMS speakers, an emerging technology with great promise, face significant challenges in performance evaluation and rational design. Their broadband nature means that responses at every frequency point across the whole operating bandwidth contribute to performance, yet there is no widely recognized weighting approach for fair evaluation ...

Figure of merit for photonic differentiators
Optics Express, 2012 We introduce a universal figure of merit to evaluate the processing speed (operation bandwidth) performance of arbitrary-order optical differentiators. In particular, we define the maximum-to-minimum bandwidth ratio (MMBR) as a main figure of merit of these devices, which essentially informs about the broadness of the acceptable input pulse bandwidth ...

Figure of Merit for Servo Motor [PDF]
Nature, 1950 A SERVO motor must control the position of a mechanism (valve, rudder, gear, etc.) in accordance with varying requirements. The figure of merit of such a motor indicates how speedily the motor is able to respond to these requirements.

Is the ‘Figure of Merit’ Really That Meritorious? [PDF]
, 2009 Studies comparing performance of Usability Evaluation Methods (UEMs) led to three standard metrics, namely, validity, thoroughness, and effectiveness, calculated from lab-based usability test results. The effectiveness metric, E = T × V, was proposed as the `figure of merit' [7] that would give a balanced account of validity and thoroughness.

A Figure of Merit For Catheter Sampling Systems [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1959 The distortion of indicator dilution curves by catheter sampling systems is predictable from theoretic considerations based on laminar flow. Over a wide range of catheter and flow parameters, deductions can be made regarding distortion, by the arterial system or by sampling catheters, of indicator dilution curves coming from an idealized pump. A figure

Microwave Amplifier Figure of Merit Measurement
Measurement Science Review, 2008 In this paper the figure of merit of microwave amplifier is measured. They are gain, 1 dB compression point and two tone third order intercept products. The measurement setup as well as method of measurement is shown. The measured amplifier can be used for student laboratory exercise as well as for scientific research.

Polaritonic figure of merit of plane structures
Optics Express, 2017 Based on the ability of plane structures to simultaneously optimize the propagation, confinement, and energy of surface plasmon-polaritons or surface phonon-polaritons, we develop the polaritonic figure of merit Z = βRΛ2/δ, where βR, Λ and δ are the longitudinal wave vector, propagation length, and penetration depth, respectively.
