THE CALIPER RULE AS A PARTICULAR CASE OF RESIDUE NUMBER SYSTEM ARITHMETIC

• Abstract:

  The caliper rule is generally considered as a particular tool, which renders a scale more readable. This paper shows that this rule can be viewed, from a theoretical point of view, as the way to realize a small “virtual unity”. This virtual unity can be used in determining the conversion between different units and can represent the basic unity of a particular measurement system, which gives the results of the measurements directly in RNS arithmetic.
