From Système International, the name for the standard conventions of metric nomenclature used in the sciences
(n) Acronym for System Internationale (i e , International System of Units), the metric measurement system For technical drawings using the SI units, the millimeter (mm), meter (m), and the kilometer (km) are the most common units of measure The international organization that established the metric standard is the International Standards Organization (ISO)
The international system of weights and measures (metric system) Système International [d'Unit[eacute]s]
The international standard system of measurement SMT Surface Mount Technology (or SMD, surface mount device) Technique for minimizing device packaging Specific energy (Es) Energy capacity divided by mass Measured in joules per gram (J/g) Es=3 6QV/m, where Q is capacity (mAh) and m is mass (g) SOA Safe Operating Area The region bounded by voltage and current combinations that permit rated life and performance of a device to be realized
a complete metric system of units of measurement for scientists; fundamental quantities are length (meter) and mass (kilogram) and time (second) and electric current (ampere) and temperature (kelvin) and amount of matter (mole) and luminous intensity (candela); "Today the United States is the only country in the world not totally committed to the Systeme International d'Unites"
The International symbol for the metric unit used by the United States (Le Systeme International d Unites)
metric-based system of weights and measures adopted in 1960 by the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures, in which 36 countries, including the U S , participated SI consists of seven base units: meter (m) = length, kilogram (kg) = mass, second (s) = time, ampere (A) = electric current, Kelvin (K) = thermodynamic temperature, mole (mol) = amount of substance, candela (cd) = luminous intensity There are two supplemental units: radian (rad) = plane angle, and steradian (sr) = solid angle
abbreviation for Standard International The name given to the standard metric system of units
